September 2 in History for Kids

September 2 collects short history notes for families. The years on this page include 1548, 1661, -44, 911. 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 September hub for the rest of the month.

In 1548, Vincenzo Scamozzi was born. Vincenzo became known as italian architect.

In 911, the Byzantine Empire and the Kievan Rus sign a treaty regulating trade.

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