Historical events this day: (from Wikipedia)

193 - The Roman Emperor Didius Julianus is murdered in his palace by a troop of soldiers, after the Roman Senate has issued a death sentence against him. He has only been emperor for two months (since March 28), but has already become unpopular with both the people and the senate, having bought himself the title of emperor by bribing the Praetorian Guard. Lately, he has also come to the brink of this, since it has become clear that he does not intend to fulfill the promises he has made. To get rid of him, the sentence of death is thus issued and executed this day.
1442 - The Nordic Union king Eric of Pomerania is deposed in Norway, three years after he has been deposed in Sweden and Denmark (1439). He has then been king of Norway for almost 53 years (since 1389), but when he through his war with The Hanseatic League has become more and more unpopular as king, he is now finally driven from all his Nordic thrones. He retreats to Gotland, and for seven years engages in piracy in the Baltic Sea, with Visby as his base, before he is driven away from there in 1449 and then lives his last ten years (until 1459) as Duke of Pomerania.
1533 – Anne Boleyn crowned Queen of England.
1676 - A Danish-Dutch fleet of 42 ships, led by Niels Juel, defeats a Swedish squadron of 57 ships, under the command of Lorentz Creutz the Elder in the battle of Öland's southern cape. The Swedish flagship the regal ship The crown, armed with 126 guns, explodes and goes to the bottom, after the fire has broken out on board and reached the powder store, killing Creutz, along with 850 other sailors. The Swedish defeat leads to the Danes gaining dominion over the seas and a month later (June 29) can begin their landing in Skåne (at Råå fishing grounds), to regain the East Danish the provinces (Skåne, Halland and Blekinge), which were lost to Sweden at peace in Roskilde 1658.
1719 - The Swedish state is starting to collect the so-called the emergency coins, which have been minted and in circulation since 1715. These coins have a much larger nominal value (the value stamped on the coin) than the value of the silver content in the coin, which has led to strong Swedish inflation and the coins are therefore not popular. A week later, the coins are returned to the owner, but they are now worth 2 öre silver coins, instead of, as before, 32 öre. The owners also receive written proof that, when possible, the state will refund 14 öre of the value, against redemption of the coins, while the other 16 öre is deducted to the crown. In 1724, the value of the coins was reduced to 1 öre silver coin and it was as late as the 1760s before all coins were redeemed for the crown.
1792 – Kentucky is recorded as the 15th the state in it American Union.^[4] As early as 1783, the area became unorganized American territory and in 1788 it was part of Virginia, when it was admitted as a state. The state of Kentucky is thus a separation from Virginia, which is due to the fact that that state is very large in surface area, which means that it is far and dangerous for the people of Kentucky to travel to the state capital, Richmond, which in turn makes it difficult to manage the military defense against the Indians , as all matters relating to this must be approved by the governor of the capital. In addition, Kentucky residents are unhappy that the state government is impeding their trade on the Mississippi River.
1796 – Tennessee is admitted as the 16th state to be admitted to the American Union.^[5] This will be the first state to be created from territory administered by the US federal government.

The bourgeois parties have not considered themselves able to form a new government, so Prime Minister Take Erlander has formed a new government, who he has said will resign, if no solution is reached in the pension issue. The result of the election is that the socialist bloc advances with four mandates at the expense of the bourgeois, but since the distribution of mandates between the blocs becomes 115 equal (since the speaker is a social democrat and therefore has no voting rights), Erlander does not present his pension proposal until the following year and it is not adopted until 1960. This is the last time new elections have been held in Sweden and the only one of a total of two times this has happened (the second time was in the spring of 1914).
