In 1153 – Malcolm IV, 12, becomes King of Scotland following the death of his grandfather David I. Malcolm had become heir apparent the previous year when his dad Henry had died, and History generally gives him indifferent marks…While the heir apparent, Malcolm had contenders for the throne and he was crowned before his brother was buried. Malcolm, always sickly, would only reign until 1165, dying of apparently natural causes when he was 24. He was succeeded by his brother William I.
In 1975 – The Philadelphia Flyers win the Stanley Cup, defeating the Buffalo Sabres 2-0 in Game 6 in Buffalo. It was the second consecutive and final Stanley Cup for the Flyers and was the second of three losses in the Finals for the Sabres. It was the first Stanley Cup Finals to have two expansion teams playing and the Flyers remain the last Stanley Cup champion with an all-Canadian roster.
In 1989 – Madonna is at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart for the sixth and final consecutive week with Like a Prayer. The album went to #1 in 19 other countries including Argentina, Norway, and Great Britain, and was Billboard’s 12th-biggest album of 1989 and its 94th-biggest of 1990. It was the third of nine #1 albums for Madonna and produced five chart singles, including the #1 title track.
