Chapter 4 : Plotting Anne's Downfall
Having resolved upon the means of securing Anne’s downfall, Cromwell began to quietly gather evidence which would secure her downfall. It is likely that he either bribed some of the Queen’s ladies, or placed spies in her household. The tales that they reported, most of which were in... | English | NL | 59f083b985a1ca4f29d71b8165e99b7c33a4dfcf736500511136b79519cb8335 |

Angel Has Fallen
I couldn’t wait to stop watching Angel Has Fallen.
I must look into myself and ask why I disliked "Iris" so intensely.
Was it entirely a complaint against the film, or was it also a protest against the fate that befell the great novelist? There is no modern writer whose work I admire more than Iris Mur... | English | NL | 8b7e451dcaffe1dc87b172dd570ed32c24f77fa6241b89891c5f385d9801a907 |

German film director Ulli Lommel has died at the age of 72 due to heart failure.

Lionel Kenneth Phillip Crabb was an MI6 diver and a Royal Navy frogman who disappeared in 1956 while investigating underwater a Soviet cruiser, Ordzhonikidze, anchored at Portsmouth Dockyard.

After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

The Most Mysterious Thing About Edgar Allan Poe Might Be How He Died

Fifty years ago, on March 14th, 1883, Karl Marx died in London, after a lifetime devoted to the workers' cause. The persecutions and privations he had endured in that cause hastened his death.
