On this day in history

Hugh Capet becomes king of France, founding a dynasty that will rule that kingdom for over 800 years, ending with Louis XVI.

William the Bastard becomes William, Duke of Normandy.  31 years later he would become William the Conqueror.

George Washington takes command of the Continental Army.

Oh, and The Queen Of The World was born.  I think that was the most important item on the list.  Happy Birthday, Darlin'.
