History Is Bunk: A Meme

Keith R.A. DeCandido was doing this, and it looked interesting, so I tried it out myself.

Instructions: enter your birthdate into Wikipedia (without year), then post three events, two births and one death.

My birthday is also the feast days of the saints St Francis Caracciolo and Saint Petrock of Cornwall, as well as being International Innocent Child Abuse Victim Day. (Not to be flippant, but does that mean there's a separate day to commemorate Guilty child abuse victims?)

Edited April 8 at 9:01 PM: I'd forgotten to actually put the day in the first time. Brain, sieve, etc.
