It’s also the 413th anniversary of Sir Thomas Overbury being poisoned by his ex-boyfriend’s wife, even though Overbury had split up with said boyfriend, and the woman in question’s husband was now the king’s boyfriend
Well, if it’s 15 September, it must be – yes, of course! The 412th anniversary of Sir Thomas Overbury dying in the Tower of London after being poisoned by his ex-boyfriend’s wife because he’d written a poem she didn’t like

Un célebre cortesano yace muerto en la Torre de Londres. Los médicos dictaminan que ha muerto por causas naturales, pero los rumores corren por toda la ciudad y apuntan a la mismísima corona.

When I passed my driving test in 1973, I celebrated at The Star at Overbury. I bent two cars getting out of the car park & drove like a bat out of hell to Winchcombe, where I hid in the square for half an hours before going home. Sorry chaps, but in my defence, I was very pissed
