Swiped from rolanni

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year. However, rolanni did three of each, and being Welsh, I shall follow suit.

1595 - William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet is probably first performed.
1891 - Liliuokalani is proclaimed Queen of Hawaii, its last monarch.
