355 Roman Emperor Constantius II promoted his cousin Julian to the rank of Caesar, entrusting him with the government of the Prefecture of the Gauls.

The Briton and the Dane: Concordia - 5 star review
Brenda Perlin's review Nov 04, 13 5 of 5 stars Read in November, 2013
I adored Mary Ann Bernal’s Concordia which was skillfully written and filled with ongoing suspense. There is plenty of real life emotion, action packed with lust, lies and deceit which is explored in such a memorable way. I was entertained from beginning to end.
This flawless tale was so clear and precise that the words flew off the page in a very visual way. I drawn in right away and as a reader I could see Concordia standing in front of me so naturally beginning with her entrance. She is a captivating character, manipulating but also likable. This tale instantly brings the reader back to another time and place.
To be honest, this is not my favorite genre but it was more entertaining and compelling than most stories that I read. I so badly yearned to know where it would all lead. Would everyone survive? But most of all who would hold Concordia's heart and keep it? Would the man/men that captured her heart stand in her way?
This is the first book that I have read in the series and this book certainly stands on it’s own. Though I will have to go back to the beginning...The Briton and the Dane series has caught my interest! Amazon US http://www.amazon.com/The-Briton-Dane...

History Trivia - Cardinal Wolsey arrested
November 4
1333 The River Arno flooding caused massive damage in Florence as recorded by the Florentine chronicler Giovanni Villani.
1429 Joan of Arc liberated Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier.
1501 Catherine of Aragon (later Henry VIII's first wife) met Arthur Tudor, Henry VIII's older brother – they would later marry.
1520 Christian II Crowned King of Sweden. Already king of Denmark and Norway, Christian conquered Sweden as well. But the subsequent massacre of his opponents led to a Swedish war of liberation, which was achieved a mere three years later.
1529 English Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was arrested. Wolsey's failure to secure the annulment for Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon is widely perceived to have directly caused his downfall and arrest.
