1734 - Premiere of George Frideric Handel's Ariodante at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

1746 - Bonnie Prince Charlie occupies Stirling. (Reminds me of the Diana Gabaldon books with the FIT guy.... mmm... yay for fancying fictional characters...

1922 - The Social Democratic Youth League of Norway is founded.

Two Births

1942 - Stephen Hawking, English physicist and author

Two Deaths
