*Ø* Blogmanac September 10 | Some today stuff

1067 One source claims this as the date of the death of Godgifu, or Godgyfu, wife of the Earl Leofric of Mercia – better known as Lady Godiva.

However, an old encyclopaedia says: “She probably died a few years before the Domesday survey of 1085 and 1086, and was buried in one of the porches of the abbey church.” (Source)

Everyone that gets an authority into his hands tyrannizes over others; as many husbands, parents, masters, magistrates, that live after the flesh do carry themselves like oppressing lords over such as are under them, not knowing that their wives, children, servants, subjects are their fellow creatures, and hath an equal privilege to share them in the blessing of liberty.
Gerrard Winstanley, leader of the Diggers, died on September 10, 1676

Wheresoever there is a people united by common community of livelihood into oneness, it will be the strongest in the world, for they will be as one man to defend their inheritance.
Gerrard Winstanley

For surely this particular property of mine and thine hath brought in all misery upon people. For first, it hath occasioned people to steal one from another. Secondly, it hath made laws to hang those that did steal. It tempts people to do an evil action and then kills them for doing it. Let all judge if this not be a great devil.
Gerrard Winstanley

1797 The death of English anarchist, feminist Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin). Author of the first great modern feminist tract in English, Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she was married to anarchist philosopher William Godwin. She died, aged 36, of ‘childbed fever’ after giving birth to Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Shelley), who grew up to marry English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and write Frankenstein.

Just think, nobody thought this would last.
