02 15th June 1215 - the Magna Carta?

03 23rd April 1564

04 5th November 1605 - Oooh. Whatshisface tries to blow up Parliament?

05 30th January 1649 - Cromwell comes to power?

06 2nd September 1666 - I want to say the fire of London or something plague-related?

07 18 June 1815 - Napoleon-related, I'm certain

08 11 December 1936 - possibly, something WWII-related, something to do with Churchill?
