Today, August 10, marks the 232nd anniversary of the Storming of the Tuileries Palace, a defining moment in the French Revolution that took place in 1792. On this day, revolutionary forces stormed the Tuileries Palace in Paris, where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were residing. This dramatic assault led to the arrest of the royal family and effectively ended the French monarchy’s rule.

The storming of the Tuileries not only signaled the collapse of the monarchy but also accelerated the establishment of the French Republic. The event intensified revolutionary fervor and set the stage for the Reign of Terror, a period of severe political repression. The attack remains a powerful symbol of the revolutionary upheaval that reshaped France’s political landscape.

Today marks the 541st anniversary of the death of Edward IV, King of England from 1461 to 1470 and again from 1471 until his death at age 40. Edward IV's sudden demise created a power vacuum and set the stage for one of the most intriguing episodes in English history.

Upon his death, the throne passed to his 12-year-old son, Edward V. However, the young king’s reign was short-lived and plagued by political instability. Edward V, along with his younger brother, Richard, Duke of York, were placed in the Tower of London for their safety. They would never be seen again.

Their mysterious disappearance led to widespread speculation and intrigue. Richard III, Edward IV's younger brother, seized the opportunity to declare himself king, citing the illegitimacy of his nephews’ claim. Richard’s rise to power was marked by controversial and dramatic events, including his controversial proclamation and the eventual usurpation of the throne.

The fate of the princes remained a dark mystery for years, fueling rumors and conspiracies. Richard III's reign was ultimately challenged and ended by Henry Tudor, who became Henry VII, marking the beginning of the Tudor dynasty.
