Non-musical history for today: 1521 – The Diet of Worms began, lasting until May 25. Doesn’t that sound delicious!? It doesn’t mean what it says, any of it, other than “of.” A “diet” is a convention or meeting of parliamentary groups or legislature. Worms is pronounced virms and is one of the oldest cities in Northern Europe. So, it was a legislative meeting in a town called Worms. But, really, all that was to say that the most famous thing of this congregation was the fact that Martin Luther was summoned there in order to renounce or reaffirm his views in response to Exsurge Domine from Pope Leo X. He had famously wiped his backside (not literally) with it the December before.

Non-musical history for today: 1606 – The trial of Guy Fawkes and other conspirators began. I know I have mentioned this whole scenario a lot, but I am fascinated with it. Many stories, comics, films, songs, whatever, have come from this. Before Anonymous adopted the Guy Fawkes mask, it was designed by artist David Moore, the illustrator of the graphic novel V for Vendetta by Alan Moore.
