On This Day In History May 15

In 392, the 17 year old Roman Emperor Valentinian II was found murdered by way of hanging. Although some have said it was suicide. Mainly the guy who did it.

In 1536, Anne-My-Head-Feels-Loose-Boleyn was tried for treason. And adultery, and incest, and also revealing spoilers about Game of Thrones before her husband, King Henry VIII, had seen the latest episode.

In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, married her 3rd husband, James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, just three months after her second husband, Lord Darnley was assassinated. Not saying she did it, but she probably did.

In 1800, King George III of he United Kingdom survived two separate assassination attempts. That's crazy. But not as crazy-bonkers-nutso as the king, who was whacko-jacko. 

Ironically, James Hadfield, who unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate the king that day, was later tried and then acquitted by reason of insanity.

On this day in history in 1928, Walt Disney introduced one of his most famous creations, Mickey Mouse, in his first cartoon - Plane Crazy.
