On this day, Joan of Arc was captured and sold to the English,
Bonnie and Clyde were shot dead, Adolf Eichmann was captured in Argentina and apparently in Ancient Rome this day was sacred to Vulcan, God of metalworkers. It was a day for cleaning your trumpets or tubilustrium. :D
And as a note to any stray pirates, Captain Kidd was hanged.
