On this day

[Henry M]

Nobody died, except:

In 1567, Lord Darnley, the second husband of Mary Queen of Scots, 
was murdered.  

In 1837, Russian poet and novelist Alexander Pushkin was killed in a 
duel. Regarded as Russia's greatest poet, his works include the 
historical tragedy "Boris Godunov."  

Also on this day:

In 1364, the Treaty of Brno was signed which guaranteed that Tyrol 
would be kept in the families of the Luxemburgs and Hapsburgs.  

In 1763, the Peace of Paris between Britain, France and Spain 
ended the Seven Years War. Canada was ceded to Britain, 
France received various West Indies possessions and Spain won 
Louisiana and Havana.  

In 1840, Queen Victoria of England married Prince Albert of 
Saxe-Coburg.  

In 1841, the Act of Union, uniting Upper and Lower Canada, came into  
effect.  

In 1942, Glenn Miller received the first ever gold disc for selling 
one million copies of "Chattanooga Choo Choo."  

In 1996, an IBM computer called Deep Blue made chess history by 
comfortably beating world champion Garry Kasparov, a machine's 
first victory under classic tournament rules.
