May 29 was once Oak Apple Day, a holiday celebrated in England to commemorate the restoration of the monarchy in Britain and Ireland, in May 1660. In some parts of the country, the day was also known as Shick-Shack Day or Arbour Day. The holiday was formally abolished in 1859.
Traditional celebrations to commemorate the event often entailed the wearing of oak apples or sprigs of oak leaves, in reference to the occasion after the Battle of Worcester in September 1651, when the future Charles II of England escaped the Roundhead army by hiding in an oak tree.
It is widely believed that these ceremonies, which have now largely died out, are continuations of pre-Christian nature worship. The Garland King who rides through the streets of Castleton, Derbyshire, at the head of a procession, completely disguised in greenery, which is affixed to a pinnacle on the parish church tower, can have little connection with the Restoration. Events still take place at Upton-upon-Severn, Northampton, Aston on Clun in Shropshire, Marsh Gibbon in Buckinghamshire, and Great Wishford in Wiltshire.


1660. Charles II is restored to the throne of Great Britain on his birthday, marking the restoration of the monarchy.

1912. Fifteen young women are fired by the the Curtis Publishing Company for dancing the Turkey Trot during their lunch break

1914. The ocean liner Empress of Ireland sinks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Empress of Ireland was a transatlantic ocean liner owned by the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company that sailed between Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, and Liverpool, England. She sank on the early morning of May 29, 1914 in the St. Lawrence River after colliding with the Storstad in a disaster which claimed 1,014 lives, making it the worst maritime disaster in Canadian history. However, her sinking was overshadowed by World War I and soon became a forgotten tragedy.
1917. John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, is born in Brookline, Massachusetts.


1956. American singer and model LaToya Jackson is born in Gary, Indiana. She is the sister of Michael, Janet, and all the other Jackson kids.
Most notable for being featured on Playboy magazine and writing her memoirs on growing up in the Jackson family, she had a smi-successful career as a singer throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and returned to the music spotlight in 2004 with her Billboard charting songs Just Wanna Dance and Free The World.
In 1989, Jackson ventured into modelling. Jackson states in her autobiography that ex-husband Jack Gordon coaxed her into posing nude for Playboy magazine. Her first cover and layout was one of the most successful issues in Playboy's history. At its time of release, it sold over 8 million copies, going on to become the best selling issue of the magazine ever. (See pictures.)

1982. Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros is born in Itabira, Minas Gerais. She has done advertisements for Guess?, Victoria's Secret, Chanel cosmetics, and Jennifer Lopez's JLO fashion line. Barros has been in shows for the likes of Valentino, Missoni, Gucci, Christian Dior, and Versace. (See pictures.)

1990. Boris Yeltsin is elected president of the Russian SFSR by the Russian parliament

On May 30, a future U.S. president killed a man in a duel, three public executions took place, a tornado wiped out a town, and floods inundated others.
AD 70. During the Siege of Jerusalem, Titus and his Roman legions breach the Second Wall of Jerusalem. The Jewish defenders retreat to the First Wall. The Romans built a circumvallation -- a line of fortifications -- for which all trees within fifteen kilometres were cut down.
1416. The Council of Constance, called by the Emperor Sigismund, a supporter of Antipope John XXIII, burns Jerome of Prague following a trial for heresy. Jerome of Prague was one of the chief followers and most devoted friends of John Hus. Jerome was an outspoken critic of the degenerate church of his day, and it was for his criticisms rather than for heresy that his death was ordered.
1431. In Rouen, France, 19-year-old Joan of Arc is burned at the stake on the orders of an English-dominated tribunal. Before the pyre was lit, she instructed a priest to hold high a crucifix for her to see and to shout out prayers loud enough to be heard above the roar of the flames.
As a source of military inspiration, Joan of Arc helped turn the Hundred Years War firmly in France's favor. By 1453, Charles VII had reconquered all of France except for Calais, which the English relinquished in 1558. In 1920, Joan of Arc, one of the great heroes of French history, was recognized as a Christian saint by the Roman Catholic Church. Her feast day is May 30.
1536. King Henry VIII of England marries Jane Seymour, a lady-in-waiting to his first two wives. Jane was reportedly the wife Henry loved most; she died shortly after giving birth to his only son.
1539. In Florida, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto lands at Tampa Bay with 600 soldiers with the goal of finding gold.
1588. The last ship of the Spanish Armada sets sail from Lisbon heading for the English Channel.
1593. Playwright Christopher Marlowe, 29, is killed in a brawl over a bar tab. Marlowe, born two months before William Shakespeare, was the son of a Canterbury shoemaker. A bright student, he won scholarships to prestigious schools and earned his B.A. from Cambridge in 1584. While still in school, Marlowe wrote his play Tamburlaine the Great, about a 14th century shepherd who became an emperor. The blank verse drama caught on with the public, and Marlowe wrote five more plays before his death in 1593, including The Jew of Maltaand Dr. Faustus.
In May of 1593, Marlowe's former roommate, playwright Thomas Kyd, was arrested and tortured for treason. He told authorities that "heretical" papers found in his room belonged to Marlowe, who was subsequently arrested. While out on bail, Marlowe became involved in a fight over a tavern bill and was stabbed to death.
1631. La Gazette, the first French newspaper, is published. Before the advent of the printed Gazette, reports on current events usually circulated as hand-written papers (nouvelles à la main). La Gazette quickly became the center of France for the dissemination of news, and thus an excellent means for controlling the flow of information in a highly centralized state. La Gazette remained silent about the birth of the French Revolution, and didn't even mention the storming of the Bastille on the 14th of July in 1789.
1635. The Peace of Prague is signed in the Thirty Years' War. The Peace of Prague was a treaty between the Habsburg Emperor Ferdinand II and the Electorate of Saxony representing most of the Protestant states of the Holy Roman Empire. It effectively brought to an end the civil war aspect of the Thirty Years' War; however, the combat actions still carried on due to the continued intervention on German soil by Spain, Sweden, and, from mid-1635, France, until the Peace of Westphalia was concluded in 1648.
1730. Royal mistress Arabella Churchill dies. She was the mistress of King James II, and the mother of four of his children (surnamed FitzJames Stuart, that is "son of James Stuart"). Arabella was the child of Sir Winston Churchill (an ancestor of the Prime Minister of the same name) and Elizabeth Drake.
An older sister of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, she began her relationship with James, then Duke of York, around 1665, while he was still married to Anne Hyde. Arabella became the duchess's lady-in-waiting in that year, and gave birth to two children during Anne's lifetime. Some time after 1674, she married Charles Godfrey and had three more children.
1806. Andrew Jackson kills Charles Dickinson in a duel after the man had accused Jackson's wife of bigamy. Charles Dickinson was a 19th century American and nationally famous duelist. An expert marksman, Dickinson's dueling career included 26 kills before it was ended at the hands of future President Andrew Jackson.
Jackson's political opponents convinced Dickinson to insult Jackson's wife, assuming Jackson would not survive. At a party near Hillsboro, Maryland at the Daffin House plantation, he met Andrew Jackson and struck up a conversation about horse racing. Later the two would meet again when Dickinson had relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. A duel was arranged between the two. The men rode from their homes in Tennessee to Kentucky, where dueling was legal, in order to settle their deadly feud as gentlemen.
Jackson attempted to fire, but his pistol misfired. Dickinson then proceeded to shoot, and Jackson took one ball in the ribs. Without wavering, Jackson then fatally wounded Dickinson with a .70-caliber shot to his middle, severing an artery, technically breaking the rules of the duel. He died a few hours later, the only man Jackson ever killed in any of his 103 duels.
1842. John Francis attempts to murder Queen Victoria as she drives down Constitution Hill, London with Prince Albert. This was the second of three attempted assassinations. The Queen survived them all to become Britain's longest reigning monarch,
1868. Decoration Day (the predecessor of the modern Memorial Day) is observed in the United States for the first time in accordance with a proclamation by Commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic John A. Logan.
1879. An F4 tornado strikes Irving, Kansas, killing 18 and injuring 60.
1911. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the first Indianapolis 500 ends with Ray Harroun becoming the first winner of the 500-mile auto race in his Marmon Wasp.
1922. In Washington, D.C., the Lincoln Memorial is dedicated. The building is in the form of a Greek Doric temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln. It is open to the public 24 hours a day.
1927. The Kentucky River peaks during a massive flood that kills 89 people and leaves thousands homeless. Torrential rains caused this unprecedented flood. This flood had a serious long-term impact on the communities of the region: 12,000 people were left homeless and men were out of work for months as the mines in which most worked had to be shut down.
1935. Babe Ruth plays in his last baseball game, in the uniform of the Boston Braves.
1942. In World War II, a thousand-plane raid on the German city of Cologne is launched by Great Britain. Almost 1,500 tons of bombs rain down in 90 minutes, delivering a devastating blow to the Germans' medieval city as well as its morale. 600 acres of the city sustained heavy damage, 45,000 Germans were left homeless and 469 were killed.
1948. A dike along the flooding Columbia River breaks, obliterating Vanport, Oregon within minutes. Fifteen people die and tens of thousands are left homeless.
The Vanport Flood parallels the more recent Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans. In both cases, public officials led the population to believe that the damage would be slight, and in both cases the government response to the disaster was harshly criticized.
1958. On Memorial Day, the bodies of several unidentified soldiers killed in action during World War II and the Korean War are buried at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery.
1959. The world's first hovercraft is tested at Cowes, England.
1961. Long time Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo is assassinated in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
1966. Former Congolese Prime Minister Evariste Kimba and several other politicians are publicly executed in Kinshasa on the orders of President Joseph Mobutu.
1968. Charles de Gaulle reappears publicly after his flight to Baden-Baden, Germany, and dissolves the French National Assembly by a radio appeal. Immediately afterwards, about one million of his supporters march on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. This is the turning point of May 1968 in France.
The May 1968 protest was historically significant for being the first wildcat general strike ever, and for being the largest general strike ever, bringing the economy of an advanced industrial country to a virtual standstill. It began as a long series of student strikes that broke out at a number of universities and lycées in Paris, following confrontations with university administrators and the police. The De Gaulle administration's attempts to quell those strikes by police action only inflamed the situation further, leading to street battles with the police in the Latin Quarter, followed by a general strike by students and strikes throughout France by eleven million French workers, roughly two-thirds of the French workforce. The protests reached such a point that government leaders feared civil war or revolution. De Gaulle fled to a French military base in Germany, where he created a military operations headquarters to deal with the unrest, dissolved the National Assembly, and called for new parliamentary elections for 23 June 1968. Violence evaporated almost as quickly as it arose and workers went back to their jobs. When the elections were finally held in June, the Gaullist party emerged even stronger than before.
1971. The U.S. unmanned space probe Mariner 9 is launched on a mission to gather scientific information on Mars, the fourth planet from the sun. The 1,116-pound spacecraft entered the planet's orbit on November 13, 1971, and circled Mars twice each day for almost a year, photographing the surface and analyzing the atmosphere with infrared and ultraviolet instruments.
Mariner 9 revealed a planet that boasted enormous volcanoes and a gigantic canyon stretching 3,000 miles across its surface. The spacecraft's cameras also recorded what appeared to be dried riverbeds, suggesting the ancient presence of water and perhaps life on the planet. The first spacecraft to orbit a planet other than earth, Mariner 9 sent back more than 7,000 pictures of the "Red Planet" and succeeded in photographing the entire planet. Mariner 9 also sent back the first close-up images of the Martian moons. Its transmission ended on October 27, 1972.
1972. The Angry Brigade goes on trial over a series of 25 bombings throughout Britain. The Angry Brigade was a British anarchist-communist terrorist group responsible for a long string of bomb attacks around Britain between 1970 and 1972. Their targets included banks, embassies and the homes of Tory MPs. In total, 25 bombings were attributed to them by the police.
The actions of the Brigade came to an end in one of the longest criminal trials of English history (it lasted from May 30 to December 6, 1972). As a result of the trial, John Barker, Jim Greenfield, Hilary Creek and Anna Mendleson received prison sentences of 10 years.
1982. Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles plays in the first of a record 2,632 consecutive major league baseball games.
1989. During the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the 33-foot high "Goddess of Democracy" statue is unveiled in Tiananmen Square by student demonstrators.
1990. Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev arrives in Washington, D.C., for three days of talks with President George Bush.
1998. A magnitude 6.6 earthquake hits northern Afghanistan, killing up to 5,000.
2005. American teenager Natalee Holloway, during a visit to Aruba, was last seen leaving a bar with three young men before disappearing. Her fate remains unknown.

May 31 is the day of The Godiva procession in the UK -- a commemoration of the legendary ride, instituted on May 31, 1678, as part of Coventry fair. It was celebrated at intervals until 1826. From 1848 to 1887, it was revived and continued into the 21st century.
Godiva was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry in England in order to gain a remission of the oppressive toll imposed by her husband on his tenants. The name "peeping Tom" for a voyeur comes from later versions of this legend in which a man named Tom watched her ride and was stricken blind. (See picture.)

1223. In the Battle of the Kalka River during the the Mongol invasion of the Cumans, Mongol armies of Genghis Khan lead by Subutai defeat Kievan Rus, Kipchaks, Cumans, and Volga Bulgars, warriors under Mstislav the Bold.
There was no mercy for the defeated army. Six princes were taken prisoner, stretched out under wooden boards and slowly suffocated while Mongols feasted upon the boards during their victory banquet.

Perhaps a story in this one?:confused:
 
1859. The famous tower clock known as Big Ben, located at the top of the 320-foot-high St. Stephen's Tower, rings out over the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, for the first time. The name "Big Ben" originally just applied to the bell but later came to refer to the clock itself. Two main stories exist about how Big Ben got its name. Many claim it was named after the famously long-winded Sir Benjamin Hall, the London commissioner of works at the time it was built. Another famous story argues that the bell was named for the popular heavyweight boxer Benjamin Caunt, because it was the largest of its kind.
Its famously accurate timekeeping is regulated by a stack of coins placed on the clock's huge pendulum, ensuring a steady movement of the clock hands at all times. At night, all four of the clock’s faces, each one 23 feet across, are illuminated. A light above Big Ben is also lit to let the public know when Parliament is in session.
 
1964. Fifteen-year-old Alleen Rowe is killed by Charles Schmid in the desert outside Tucson,Arizona. Earlier in the night, Schmid allegedly had said to his friends, "I want to kill a girl! I want to do it tonight. I think I can get away with it!" Schmid went on to kill three other teenage girls before being caught by police.
The subsequent trial gained national attention as an example of the depravity of young people in the 1960s. Schmid was convicted and sentenced to death, but he survived because the Supreme Court invalidated most death sentences in 1972. Later that year, he escaped from state prison, only to be caught a few days later.
1965. American model and actress Brooke Shields is born. Shields' career as a model began in the 1960s as an infant, and she continued as a successful child model throughout the 1970s. In early 1980 (at age 14), Shields was the youngest fashion model to ever appear on the cover of the top fashion publication Vogue magazine. Later that same year (at age 15), Shields appeared in controversial print and TV ads for Calvin Klein jeans. The TV ad included her saying the famous tagline, "Do you wanna know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing."
Shields's film career began in 1978 with her appearance in Louis Malle's Pretty Baby, a movie in which she played a child living in a brothel (and in which there were numerous nude scenes). Because she was only 12 when the film was released, and possibly 11 when it was filmed, questions were raised about child pornography.
After two decades of movies, her best-known films are still arguably The Blue Lagoon (1980), which included a number of nude scenes between teenage cousins on a deserted island (Shields later testified before a U.S. Congressional inquiry that older body doubles were used in some of them), and Endless Love (1981).
Shields has appeared in a number of television shows, the most successful being the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan, in which she starred from 1996 until 2000 and which earned her a People's Choice Award in the category of Favorite Female Performer in a New Television Series in 1997. (See pictures.)

and rhe rest of may

1279 BC. Ramses II becomes pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. Called Ramses the Great, he is often regarded as Egypt's greatest and most powerful pharaoh. He is traditionally believed to have been the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
This identification has often been disputed, as critics point out that Ramesses II was not drowned in the sea. The primary Exodus account itself makes no specific claim that the pharaoh was with his army when they were "swept ... into the sea" only Psalm 136 makes this claim.
Critics of the theory also emphasize that there is nothing in the archaeological records from the time of Ramesses' reign to confirm the existence of the Plagues of Egypt. However, this is not surprising since few pharaohs wished to record natural disasters or military defeats in the same manner that their rivals documented these events (as in the Biblical narratives).
455. Emperor Petronius Maximus is stoned to death by an angry mob while fleeing Rome. He was Western Roman Emperor for two and a half months in 455. A wealthy senator and a prominent aristocrat, he was instrumental in the murders of the Western Roman magister militum, Flavius Aëtius, and the Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III. Maximus was killed during the events that culminated in the Vandal sack of Rome in 455.
Within two months of his gaining the throne, news reached Rome that Geiseric was sailing for Italy. As the news spread, panic gripped the city and many of its inhabitants took to flight. The Emperor decided that it was fruitless to mount a defense against the Vandals, and so attempted to organize his escape, urging the Senate to accompany him. However, in the panic, Petronius Maximus was completely abandoned by his bodyguard and entourage and left to fend for himself. As he rode out of the city on his own on, he was set upon by an angry mob who stoned him to death. His body was mutilated and flung into the Tiber. He had reigned for only seventy eight days
526. A devastating earthquake strikes Antioch, Turkey, killing 250,000.
1578. Martin Frobisher sails from Harwich, England to Frobisher Bay, Canada, eventually to mine fool's gold, used to pave streets in London.
Frobisher found what he thought was gold and carried 1,500 tons of it home on a dangerously overloaded boat, only to be informed that it was worthless iron pyrite. Undaunted, Frobisher returned to Canada and found what he thought to be another source of gold. He carted 1,300 tons of it back and was informed that it was the same substance.
1678. The annual Godiva procession through Coventry begins.
1759. The Province of Pennsylvania bans all theater productions.
1902. In Pretoria, representatives of Great Britain and the Boer states sign the Treaty of Vereeniging, officially ending the three-and-a-half-year South African Boer War.
1911. The R.M.S. Titanic is launched.
1916. In the Battle of Jutland during World War I, the British Grand Fleet engages the Kaiserliche Marine in the largest naval battle of the war; the outcome proves indecisive.
1921. The Tulsa Race Riot breaks out in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The official death toll is 39, but recent investigations suggest the actual toll may be much higher.
The Tulsa Race Riot was a large-scale civil disorder confined mainly to the racially segregated Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa. During the 16 hours of rioting, over 800 people were admitted to local hospitals with injuries, an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, 35 city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire, and $1.8 million (nearly $17 million after adjustment for inflation) in property damage. Thirty-nine people were officially reported killed, although most experts agree that the actual number of citizens killed during the riot was around 300.
1929. After two years of exploratory visits and friendly negotiations, Ford Motor Company signs a landmark agreement to produce cars in the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union, which in 1928 had only 20,000 cars and a single truck factory, was eager to join the ranks of automotive production, and Ford, with its focus on engineering and manufacturing methods, was a natural choice to help. The always independent-minded Henry Ford was strongly in favor of his free-market company doing business with Communist countries. An article published inMay 1929 in The New York Times quoted Ford as saying that "No matter where industry prospers, whether in India or China, or Russia, all the world is bound to catch some good from it."
1935. A 7.7 earthquake destroys Quetta in modern-day Pakistan: between 30,000 and 60,000 people are killed.. This ranks as one of the deadliest earthquakes that has hit South Asia.
1941. Despite Ireland's neutrality in World War II, a Luftwaffe air raid in Dublin, claims 38 lives. German Radio, operated by the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, broadcast that - "it is impossible that the Germans bombed Dublin intentionally". Irish airspace had been violated repeatedly, and both Allied and German airmen were being interned at the Curragh. A possible cause was a navigational error and mistaken target. Numerous large cities in the United Kingdom were targeted for bombing, including Belfast, which like Dublin is across the Irish Sea from Great Britain. Navigational error, equipment malfunction, or weather may also have played a role. A pilot who was one of the pathfinders on the raid later recounted this as the cause of the raid. War-time Germany’s acceptance of responsibility and post-war Germany’s payment of compensation are cited as further indications that the causation was error on the part of the Luftwaffe pilots.
1942. During World War II, Imperial Japanese Navy midget submarines begin a series of attacks on Sydney, Australia.
1952. Dwight D. Eisenhower retires from active service in the United States Army in order to run for president.
1962. Near Tel Aviv, Israel, Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi SS officer who organized Adolf Hitler's "final solution of the Jewish question," is executed for his crimes against humanity.
1970. The Ancash earthquake causes a landslide that buries the town of Yungay, Peru; more than 47,000 people are killed.

1971. In accordance with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1968, observation of Memorial Day occurs on the last Monday in May for the first time, rather than on the traditional Memorial Day of May 30.
1973. The United States Senate votes to cut off funding for the bombing of Khmer Rouge targets within Cambodia, hastening the end of the Cambodian Civil War and clearing the way for the Cambodian Genocide, also known as the Killing Fields.
The Khmer Rouge regime is remembered mainly for the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million people (estimates range from 850,000 to 3 million) under its regime, through execution, starvation and forced labor. In terms of the number of people killed as a proportion of the population of the country it ruled (an estimated 7.5 million people, as of 1975), it was one of the most lethal regimes of the 20th century. Many victims were murdered with pick axes in order to save bullets.
1981. An organized mob of Sinhalese origin goes on a rampage on the nights of May 31 to June , burning the Jaffna public library. It was one of the most violent examples of ethnic book burning of the 20th century. At the time of its destruction, the library was one of the biggest in Asia, containing over 97,000 books and manuscripts.
1985. A swarm of tornadoes hits Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario, leaving 88 dead in the US-Canadian Tornado Outbreak. Forty-one tornadoes were counted, including 13 in Ontario. It is the largest and most intense tornado outbreak ever to hit this region.
The outbreak lasted roughly from just after 4 PM EDT, when the first tornado touched down in Ontario, until 11 PM EDT when tornadoes struck central and southern Ohio. However, the peak of the outbreak took place during the early evening hours, where the deadliest tornadoes across western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio took place.
In all, 88 people lost their lives. It was the third costliest tornado outbreak in the history of the U.S., where it caused $450 million (1985 U.S. dollars) damage in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. It was also one of the costliest in Canada: damage in Ontario totalled an estimated $100 million USD. The damage would total nearly $1 billion in 2005 US dollars.
The small Pennsylvania town of Wheatland was nearly wiped out by a massive tornado, the most violent of the 41 recorded that day. Registering F5 on the Fujita scale, it was one of the most powerful tornadoes ever observed east of the Mississippi. When it reached Mercer County, Pennsylvania, it was a half-mile ( 0.8 km) wide monster packing winds estimated at 300 mph (480 km). At Wheatland Sheet and Tube, the asphalt was scoured off the parking lot, and shards of sheet metal and routing slips were left wedged beneath the remaining asphalt.
Another of the more notable tornadoes that day struck in Barrie, Ontario in Simcoe about an hour north of Toronto. Killing 12 and injuring 155, this F4 was one of the most powerful in Canada's history.

June is named after the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and equivalent to the Greek goddess Hera. More than other major Roman deities, Juno held a large number of significant and diverse epithets, names and titles representing various aspects and roles of the goddess. In accordance with her central role as a goddess of marriage, these included Interduca ("she who leads the bride into marriage"), Domiduca ("she who leads the bride to her new home"), Cinxia ("she who loses the bride's girdle"). Perhaps this explains the popularity of June weddings.
In Ancient Rome, June 1 was the day of another goddess, however. It was the festival in honor of Carna. Carna refers to two distinct women from Roman mythology. One was a nymph. The modern English word "carnal" is derived from this name. The other Carna, whose festival was on June 1, was the goddess of the heart and other organs.
 
1495. Friar John Cor records the first known written reference to a batch of Scotch Whisky on June 1, 1494. The actual words, from the Exchequer Rolls, 1494-95, are: "To Friar John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae VIII bolls of malt."
