1463:

Francois Villon banished from Paris

Born into poverty, adopted by a kindly priest and given a fine education at university, Villon was an exceptionally gifted poet who was befriended by many people of high repute. He was also a thief, a vagabond, and a member of the Coquille who was in and out of trouble (and prison) for much of his life. Sentenced to hang for a crime he evidently did not commit, Villon was saved by the intercession of influential friends, and the sentence was commuted to banishment from his beloved city for ten years. Villon disappeared from Paris and was never heard from again.

You can find a collection of Villon's work (most of it in French) at the Société François Villon.

1548:

Francisco Suarez

A member of the Order of the Jesuits, Francisco Suarez founded a school of Scholasticism and wrote many books on theological and philosophical subjects. He was also a teacher and founder of international law.

1592:

Shah Jahan

It is one of the most romantic stories in history: how Shah Jahan, Mughal emperor, so adored his wife, Mumtaz-I-Mahal, that when she died he had a magnificent white marble monument built to hold her for all eternity. The Taj Mahal takes its name from Mumtaz, and was meant to have a duplicate in black marble for Shah Jahan; but his son was not nearly so romantic, and Jahan's mausoleum was never built.
