Interesting things to happen on my birthday
1282 - Llywelyn ap Gruffydd or Gruffudd (b. c. 1228) the last native Prince of Wales, was killed at Cilmeri, near Builth Wells, south Wales. He was the last prince of an independent Wales before its conquest by King Edward I of England. Some would say he was the penultimate, but in effect he was the last ruler. In Welsh, he is remembered by the alliterative soubriquet Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf (Llywelyn, Our Last Leader).
1792 - French Revolution: King Louis XVI of France is put on trial for treason by the National Convention.
1972 - Apollo 17 becomes the sixth mission to land on the Moon. (proviso...this is the day i was born)

1962 - Ben Browder, American actor
