May 19 marks several notable historical events. In 1536, Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I, was beheaded, a significant event that altered the course of English history. In 1935, Pope Pius XI canonized Sir Thomas More and Cardinal John Fisher, both of whom were executed in 1535 for their refusal to accept Henry VIII as the head of the Church of England. Other events include the 1588 launch of the Spanish Armada, which aimed to invade England, and a speech by Col. Teddy Roosevelt in 1916, where he criticized the pacifism of Henry Ford and the Wilson administration's military readiness. More recent events include the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 in 2016, which resulted in the death of all 66 passengers on board, and the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, where they were granted royal titles. The day also remembers the tragic mudslides in Sichuan, China, in 2008, which claimed the lives of over 200 rescue workers following a devastating earthquake.
