October 5 in History for Kids

October 5 collects short history notes for families. The years on this page include 1524, 1609, 1143, 1465. Violent events and crimes are left off. Each line is a small true thing to ask about, not a whole lesson. February 29 is included so a leap-day birthday still has a page. Walk with the previous and next links, or open the October hub for the rest of the month.

In 1524, Rani Durgavati was born. Rani became known as queen of Gond.

In 1143, with the signing of the Treaty of Zamora, King Alfonso VII of León and Castile recognises Portugal as a Kingdom.
In 1465, king Louis XI of France is forced to sign the treaty of Conflans.

Pair a date with a story in the library or a geography quiz if you want to keep going.
