How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
August 2nd through history
A king dies in the New Forest
On August 2nd 1100 William II, known as Rufus, was killed by an arrow while hunting in the New Forest. The shot was attributed to Walter Tirel, who did not linger to argue and was in France within days. By tradition the body was carried to Winchester on the cart of a charcoal burner named Purkis. The king’s younger brother rode straight for the royal treasury, seized it, and was crowned Henry I three days later.
The Government of India Act received royal assent on August 2nd 1858, dissolving the East India Company’s rule and transferring its territories, armies and revenues to the Crown. A trading company that had governed a subcontinent was wound up by statute, and the office of Secretary of State for India was created to replace it.
Iraqi forces crossed into Kuwait on August 2nd 1990 and took the country in a day. The United Nations demanded withdrawal within hours, and Britain committed more than 53,000 personnel to the coalition that followed under the name Operation Granby.
Peter O’Toole, the actor who found lasting fame playing the title role in Lawrence of Arabia, was born on August 2nd 1932, though he never entirely settled whether it was in Connemara or Leeds. James Baldwin, the writer and essayist whose work explored race and identity in America, arrived on the same day eight years earlier, in Harlem.
Born on August 2nd: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Peter O’Toole and James Baldwin — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
traditionally Sardonyx, or Peridot or Spinel in the modern list for August.
Birth flower
Gladiolus (primary), also Poppy — most commonly cited sources agree on gladiolus as the main August flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — sardonyx for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
