Deaths

1066 King Edward the Confessor of England, dies
1066 Edward de Belijder the Confessor, king of England (1043-66), dies

Am I confused, or aren't these one and the same person?

Other Events

1531 Pope Clemens VII forbids English king Henry VIII to re-marry

Lot of good that did.  I guess Pope Clemens didn't hold much sway with Fat
Henry.  Was this the Pope that was a cousin or uncle to Catherine of Aragon?
