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 9th through history
A parson, a mallet and the Crown of England
On May 9th 1671 a man in clerical dress arrived at the Tower of London at seven in the morning. He was Thomas Blood, an Irish adventurer, and he had spent weeks charming the elderly Keeper of the Jewels, Talbot Edwards, even proposing a match between Edwards’s daughter and his own nephew. Edwards was overpowered, the crown was beaten flat with a mallet to fit under a cloak, and the orb went down an accomplice’s breeches.
They were caught at the Iron Gate. Blood then refused to speak to anyone but the King, and Charles II, who found the whole affair entertaining, granted him an interview, pardoned him and gave him Irish lands worth £500 a year. Evelyn and most of London assumed a conspiracy; no satisfactory explanation has ever appeared.
On May 9th 1926 Richard Byrd and Floyd Bennett claimed to have flown over the North Pole from Spitsbergen. The claim has been disputed almost from the day it was made, and Byrd’s flight diary, rediscovered in 1996, has not settled it. On May 9th 1955 West Germany took its seat at NATO’s council table for the first time, days after its formal accession — ten years and a day after the war in Europe ended.
Two of the finest British screen actors of their generation share the date: Glenda Jackson, later also a Member of Parliament, in Birkenhead, and Albert Finney, one of the leading lights of the postwar British stage and screen, in Salford, both on May 9th 1936. The American singer-songwriter Billy Joel and the actress Candice Bergen, familiar for her role in the sitcom Murphy Brown, were also born on the date.
Born on May 9th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Glenda Jackson and Albert Finney — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Taurus — an Earth sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the Bull.
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.
