In the year 1482, history witnessed a myriad of significant events and personalities that left an indelible mark on various realms. One such figure was Margaret of Anjou, whose influence reverberated through time. Known for her resilience and determination, Margaret's legacy continues to captivate scholars and historians alike. Meanwhile, in the realm of literature and art, Dante Alighieri's epic masterpiece "The Divine Comedy" took shape during this period. Folios adorned with intricate illustrations depicted Dante's harrowing journey through Hell and Purgatory alongside his trusted companion Virgil. These vivid depictions continue to mesmerize readers even today. As we delve further into the annals of 1482, our gaze turns towards the celestial wonders above. The constellations Draco, Ursa Major (Big Dipper), and Ursa Minor graced the night sky as if choreographed by some divine hand. Their figuration served as a reminder of humanity's eternal fascination with the cosmos. On a different note, a race to Scotland unfolded in the skies as Imperial Airways' bi-plane "City of Glasgow" soared high above land and sea. This daring endeavor showcased mankind's relentless pursuit of exploration and adventure. Shifting our focus to Ghana in C1600, we encounter Elmina – a bustling hub where cultures converged amidst trade routes spanning continents. This vibrant coastal town stood witness to countless stories woven together by merchants from far-flung corners of the world. Closer to home in Stratford-upon-Avon at Mason Court resided one who would become synonymous with literary brilliance – William Shakespeare himself. In this very place where he once walked, his words still echo through time like whispers carried on gentle breezes. Music too found its voice in 1482 when Yehudi Menuhin graced record sleeves with his virtuoso violin performances. His melodies enchanted audiences worldwide while leaving an enduring imprint on classical music.
