I know why Eleanor of Castile died, she was tired after giving King Edward I, 16 kids. Plus another 7 from dalliances with Edward's Friends during her marriage. A very busy queen.
November 30:
1900 -- Oscar Wilde dies in a Paris hotel room after saying of the room's wallpaper: "One of us had to go." I love this guy, so funny.
1982 -- Thriller, Michael Jackson's second solo album, released; the album, produced by Quincy Jones, became the best-selling album in history.
