Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-05-26 11:31:28Copy HTML I didn't realize (or I forgot) that William the Conqueror's daughter Adela married Stephen of Blois and they were the parents of that Stephen. The civil war makes a little more sense.

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-05-27 07:35:31Copy HTML That's why Stephen made his bid for the Throne in 1135, after Empress Matilda and her two sons he was "next" in line. Well not quite next, his mother and elder brother were ahead of him but neither wanted the Crown. So when he seized the Throne in December 1135 he usurped the rights of five people. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Buddy Holly went to the movies to see The Searchers. John Wayne's character used the phrase "That'll be the day" numerous times. That inspired Holly to write the song that became his first number one hit. |

As Mel Brooks' character in Blazing Saddles said..........."It's good to be king." His mother was about 70 and wouldn't have been accepted anyway. His elder brother Theobald, Count of Blois was content to remain in his French domain of Blois. |

Actress Adele Spitzeder starts what is perhaps the first "Ponzi Scheme" among working class people in Munich. Collecting money by promising lucrative returns over a short time, this by paying the old investors with $ collected from the new investors. Doomed to failure once the new investors "peter out." |
