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.
May 22nd through history
The Wars of the Roses begin at St Albans
On May 22nd 1455 the Duke of York’s men fought the King’s in the streets of St Albans, in the first battle of what a Victorian readership would learn to call the Wars of the Roses. It was over in under an hour and was fought around the market place and the abbey gateway rather than on any field. Henry VI, standing under his banner, was wounded in the neck by an arrow and afterwards found sheltering in a tanner’s shop.
Arthur Conan Doyle, later the creator of Sherlock Holmes, was born on May 22nd 1859 in Picardy Place, Edinburgh. He trained as a doctor and modelled Sherlock Holmes on Joseph Bell, a surgeon who made a habit of diagnosing patients before they had spoken. Doyle killed Holmes off in 1893, was bombarded with letters from readers in mourning, and brought him back.
On May 22nd 2017 a bomb was detonated at the Manchester Arena as the audience was leaving a concert, and twenty-two people were killed, many of them children. The vigil in Albert Square the following evening, and the benefit concert two weeks later, became part of how the city describes itself.
The date’s birthdays are Laurence Olivier, the actor, born at Dorking in 1907, Richard Wagner, the composer, at Leipzig in 1813, and Naomi Campbell, the model, in Streatham in 1970.
Born on May 22nd: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Arthur Conan Doyle and Laurence Olivier — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Gemini — an Air sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Twins. If you were born right on the cusp, sources vary by a day either way on exactly where one sign ends and the next begins.
Birthstone
Emerald for May.
Birth flower
Lily of the Valley (primary), also Hawthorn — most commonly cited sources agree on lily of the valley as the main May 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.
