June 4, 1394 – The Death of Mary de Bohun, Mother of Henry V

On June 4, 1394, Mary de Bohun, wife of Henry IV and mother of the future Henry V, died at the age of about 26. Her death occurred at Peterborough while she was giving birth to her sixth child, a daughter who also did not survive.

Born around 1369 or 1370, Mary was the daughter and co-heiress of Humphrey de Bohun, one of England's most powerful nobles. Her marriage to Henry Bolingbroke in 1380 brought him vast estates and strengthened his position among the English nobility. Although Henry would later seize the throne from Richard II and become King Henry IV in 1399, Mary did not live to see her husband crowned.

Mary's most enduring legacy was her children, especially her eldest son, Henry, who would become the celebrated King Henry V and lead England to victory at the Battle of Agincourt. Contemporary accounts describe Mary as pious and devoted, and her early death was a personal tragedy for her family.

She was buried at Leicester Abbey, where her tomb became a place of remembrance. Though she never wore a crown, Mary de Bohun played a crucial role in the founding of the Lancastrian dynasty, as the mother of one of England's most famous medieval kings.

@Dr_TheHistories @histories_arch My aunt had a English language biography of this Kaiser, which was very complimentary about him,

[Dr. M.F. Khan @Dr_TheHistories]

Kaiser Wilhelm II was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, ruling from 1888-1918....

He was born in 1859, the eldest grandson of Queen Victoria, which made him closely related to many European royal families. A difficult birth left him with a withered left arm, an injury that shaped both his personality and his lifelong need to project strength and authority.

Wilhelm dismissed his powerful chancellor Otto von Bismarck in 1890 and took a far more personal role in governing. Under his rule, Germany pursued an aggressive foreign policy known as Weltpolitik, aimed at expanding its global influence. He dramatically expanded the German navy, challenging Britain and intensifying rivalries among the European powers. His impulsive speeches and erratic diplomacy often worsened tensions.

When WW1 broke out in 1914, Wilhelm supported Austria Hungary against Serbia, helping set the wider conflict in motion. Although he was emperor, real military power increasingly shifted to generals such as Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff during the war. As Germany faced defeat in 1918, revolution spread at home. Wilhelm abdicated in November 1918 and fled to the Netherlands, where he lived in exile until his passing in 1941.

Our very special guests! 🧁☕️

The Queen has hosted a tea party for children supported by Dreams and Wishes, a charity dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families build precious memories.

🫖🥪 After travelling by horse-drawn carriage from The Royal Mews, the children sat down to sandwiches and cakes with Her Majesty at Clarence House.

The Queen’s Equerry, Major Treasure, also set the children to task with a treasure hunt… leading to the stash of chocolate coins hidden under the Grenadier Guards’ hats! 💂🪎

Dreams and Wishes was established in 2011 and is entirely volunteer-run, with a dedicated team committed to making every child’s wish a reality.

June 3, 1594 – Death of John Aylmer, Bishop of London

On June 3, 1594, John Aylmer, one of the most influential churchmen of the Elizabethan era, died at Fulham Palace, the historic residence of the Bishops of London. He was approximately 73 years old.

Born in 1521, Aylmer was educated at University of Cambridge and became a noted scholar and Protestant reformer during a period of intense religious upheaval in England. During the reign of Queen Mary I, when Protestantism was suppressed, Aylmer fled into exile on the continent. Following the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558, he returned to England and became a leading supporter of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement.

In 1577, Aylmer was appointed Bishop of London, a position he held for the remainder of his life. As bishop, he worked vigorously to enforce conformity within the Church of England, opposing both Roman Catholic recusants and the more radical Puritans who sought further reforms. His tenure reflected the challenges of maintaining religious unity in a kingdom still divided by competing beliefs.

Aylmer was also known for his writings, particularly his defense of female monarchy in response to criticisms of women rulers. His work helped provide intellectual support for Elizabeth I's authority during a crucial period in English history.

His death at Fulham Palace marked the end of a long ecclesiastical career that spanned some of the most turbulent religious transformations of the sixteenth century. He was succeeded by new church leaders who continued to navigate the complex religious landscape of Elizabethan England.

A British Army chaplain saying a prayer over a dying German Army medic near Epehy, France on the 18th September 1918....

British Army chaplains served near the front lines throughout World War I, providing spiritual support to soldiers of all ranks and nationalities. Under the rules of war and long-standing military tradition, chaplains often ministered to wounded and dying enemy soldiers when circumstances allowed.

This photograph was taken near Épehy, France, during the Allied Hundred Days Offensive, the series of campaigns that ultimately ended the war. By September 1918, German forces were retreating across much of the Western Front after suffering heavy losses in manpower, equipment, and territory.

Military medics faced particularly dangerous conditions. They frequently worked under artillery fire and in exposed positions while evacuating wounded soldiers. Thousands of medics from all armies were killed or wounded during the conflict despite protections under the Geneva Conventions.

The First World War resulted in approximately 20 million military and civilian deaths and another 21 million wounded, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in human history.

During World War I, more than 100 British Army chaplains were decorated for bravery, and at least three received the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest award for valor.
