Non-musical history for today: 1421 – A dike in the Grote Hollandse Waard in the Netherlands broke, killing about 10,000 people. It is/was known as St Elizabeth's flood. Researching this, I found the (supposed) story of Beatrix de Rijke. A wicker cradle with an infant girl was washed away in the flood. Upon the cradle was also a cat. The morning after the flood, as the townspeople emerged to survey the damage, they saw this cradle floating, with the cat jumping from corner to corner to keep it balanced and upright. The baby was supposedly Beatrix de Rijke. The main museum in Amsterdam is called the Rijksmuseum. I don't know if they're connected in any way. I don't know how much of that is true, but people seem to believe it.
