Henry III of England died on this day 752 years ago, aged 65. - Henry was a son of King John, succeeding him as king when he died in 1216. As Henry was only 9 years old, he had a regency run the government, and would only take control in 1227. - Henry would lead an invasion of France in 1230 which ended with England gaining nothing, and later in his reign he would try to form an alliance with Germany to put pressure on France. He did, however, become friends with French king Louis IX after the two of them went on the Seventh Crusade, with a notable development between their friendship was Louis gifting Henry a pet elephant. - Dissatisfied nobles began to riot in 1258, which escalated into a full-scale civil war six years later. Henry would be captured by the forces of Simon de Montfort and was rescued by his son Edward, who killed Montfort in battle. - Henry was well-known for his interest in architecture, notably leading renovations of Windsor Castle, the Tower of London, and Westminster Palace. - Henry died after a 56-year reign, the longest of an English monarch at the time (surpassed by George III in 1816). He was succeeded by his son (the aforementioned) Edward I.

John Hanson died on this day 241 years ago, aged 62. - Hanson's political career began in 1757 when he was elected to the Maryland General Assembly, serving until 1769. He was known for his opposition to British taxation such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. - During the American Revolution, Hanson worked as an army recruiter and was in charge of arming local Continental Army soldiers, and in 1777 would be elected to Maryland's new House of Delegates, becoming a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1779. - Hanson would be elected as the president of the Continental Congress in 1781- but was the first officeholder to use the term 'President of the United States in Congress assembled'. Some debatably claim him to be the actual first US president- but there had already been seven previous officeholders, and this title was mostly just ceremonial. Hanson served in this role for a little under a year and died a year after leaving office.

Gottfried Leibniz died on this day 308 years ago, aged 70. - Leibniz' father was the noted philosopher Friedrich Leibniz, who died when the younger Leibniz was a child. Part of his inheritance were the books owned by his father, and he would enter the field of philosophy himself, receiving his master's at just 17 years old. - In 1673, Leibniz went to London to convene with the Royal Society, showing off a mechanical calculator he had built. He would also try to join the French Academy of Sciences, but was declined due to the group having a full quota on foreign members. - Leibniz is best known for independently developing the mathematical branch of calculus starting in 1674 (and first publishing his work in 1684), which Isaac Newton was also doing at the time. This would lead to a feud between the two of them, with Newton and his friends in the Royal Society claiming he plagiarized from him. This dispute would last until Leibniz' death in 1716, but nowadays both are given credit.

Ol' Dirty Bastard died on this day 20 years ago, aged 35. - ODB's real name was Russell Jones. His cousins (soon to be known as RZA and GZA) would form a hip hop group called Force of the Imperial Master in 1992, and when the three added six more members to the group the following year, the Wu-Tang Clan was formed. - ODB would also have a solo career of his own, with his 1995 debut album Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version going platinum: - ODB found himself marred by controversy in 1996 when he took his children to receive food stamps when he just received a $45,000 cash advance (and was receiving profit from his music sales), which partially led to the passing of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (which diminished welfare) that year. - In 1998, ODB would abruptly crash the Grammy Awards by running on-stage, expecting to win the award for Best Rap Album (the nominee in question being Wu-Tang is Forever)- which he ended up losing to P. Diddy (in hindsight Wu-Tang Clan getting the win wouldn't have aged as poorly): - ODB suffered from drug abuse throughout his adulthood, specifically with cocaine. He was arrested for illegal drug possession in 2001, and would end up dying of an overdose two days before his 36th birthday.

Duncan II of Scotland died on this day 930 years ago, aged 34. - Duncan was a son of king Malcolm III, and it remains uncertain whether he was a legitimate or bastard child based on conflicting contemporary sources. - When he was 12 years old, Duncan would be taken as a hostage by the English following an altercation between England and Scotland, and was raised as a member of William the Conqueror's court, receiving training as a knight. He was officially released after William's death in 1087 but decided to remain in England to serve William II. - In early 1094, Duncan would lead an incursion into Scotland to oust his brother Donald III with the support of local nobles dissatisfied with him. He would reign for only six months before being killed in another battle, with Donald regaining the Scottish throne.
