American serial killer - and now Netflix star Ed Gein was found insane and committed to Central State Hospital indefinitely OTD in 1958; just a year or so later, the first of the books/movies riffing off his life would hit the public...
My Little Book of Mary Queen of Scots was published by @thehistorypress in 2015; I think it's on the third printing at present, and even after all these years I still absolutely love the cover! Available via links
The Little Book of Mary Queen of Scots eBook : Mayhew, Mickey: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
British actress Rosalie Crutchley was borb OTD in 1920; she played Henry VIII's sixth wife - Catherine Parr - in the 1970 BBC drama 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII'.
Actress Annabel Marlow was born OTD in 1999; she originated the role of Catherine Howard in the first small-scale productions of the hit musical Six, both at the Edinburgh Fringe and Cambridge in 2017, before it became a global phenomenon.
Finally, managed to snap a pic of the author copies of my new book from @penswordbooks - I think they look great! Available via link
Buy The Romanovs Under House Arrest: The Russian Revolution and A Royal Family’s Imprisonment in their Palace by Mickey Mayhew (ISBN: 978139
Wow, four years ago OTD I was at the British Library with the Mary Queen of Scots Society to see the exhibition on Mary and Elizabeth I, and still all of us masked-up for the pandemic...Very proud to see my book in the attendant gift shop!
English actress Dame Judi Dench was born OTD in 1934; she played Elizabeth I - briefly - in the 1998 movie 'Shakespeare in love'. As to whether the famous Tudor queen's teeth really were quite so manky, well, that's not one I'm getting into - But there are plenty of historians pulling their hair out about that one, I'm sure...
American serial killer Ed Gein murdered his first victim OTD in 1954; she was bawdy bar owner Mary Hogan, and it would be some three years before her repurposed remains were found in Gein's lonely Wisconsin farmhouse...
One of my heroines - Mary Queen of Scots - was born OTD in Tudor times (1542), in Linlithgow Palace in Scotland; her trials (literal) and tribulations (often, and v.dramatic) have made me both weep and smile, and sometimes even at the same time - it's never a quiet life when you're convinced you're the rightful heir to the English throne...
Out and about in Whitechapel with volume one of my 'Dear Boss' new book trilogy; this pic was actually staged by a member of a large corporate travel business as part of a guided Jack the Ripper walk!

Australian actor Keith Michell was born OTD in 1926, in Adelaide; his portrayal of the Tudor tyrant Henry VIII - both for the BBC and also at the movies - is probably one of the most popular, defining the role for a generation back in the 1970s. He died in 2015.
My new book is out today and I couldn't be prouder - My telling of the Russian Royal Family's imprisonment in their own palace was, in the words of my editor, '...to be honest, the best book I've read all year'.
Buy The Romanovs Under House Arrest: The Russian Revolution and A Royal Family’s Imprisonment in their Palace by Mickey Mayhew (ISBN: 978139
Although many books cover the lives of Russia’s last royal family in some considerable detail, their time spent under house arrest in their
The British movie Nicholas and Alexandra was released OTD in 1971; Tom Baker would play the notorious Rasputin, several years before he made his mark as the fourth Doctor Who
Rasputin's daughter Varvara was born OTD in 1900; precious little is known about her life - or - what she thought of her famous father -only that at some point she lived with him in St Petersburg, this whilst he was serving the Romanovs as their spiritual advisor/guru
The Russian Tsarevich Alexei Romanov taking a mud bath treatment in Livadia 1913-1914; such remedies were necessary in the ongoing battle to fight the damage his haemophilia caused to his body. The only person who could bring true relief from his condition, meanwhile, was the Siberian Holy man, Rasputin
The wedding of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna took place OTD in 1894 (modern dating), in St Petersburg, Russia; he was the unassertive son of a mighty, overbearing ruler and she was the headstrong and - arguably- favourite granddaughter of Queen Victoria. It was a match that would topple the throne and spawn the Russian Revolution
The Russian Tsarevich Alexei Romanov with his tutor Peter Vasilievich Petrov in 1916, in the midst of World War One
