1512:

James V of Scotland

Succeeding to the throne at the age of 17 months and surviving a power struggle over his regency, James was a harsh ruler whose taxations alienated his subjects. His alignment against Henry VIII of England resulted in a disastrous battle at Solway Moss. The defeat caused James to suffer a nervous breakdown, and he died shortly thereafter at the age of 30.

His only legitimate child to survive to adulthood was Mary, Queen of Scots. His illegitimate son, the Earl of Moray, became regent of Scotland when Mary abdicated.

1028:

Fulbert of Chartres

Fulbert, a notable scholar and teacher, developed the cathedral school at Chartres into a leading center of learning. He began to rebuild the burned cathedral in 1020, but did not live to see its completion.
