Burgundy

Today is the feast day of Fratemus, traditionally remembered as a Bishop of Auxerre in Burgundy and, by tradition, a martyr. The date is being noted alongside travel content about the Canal Latéral à la Loire in France, where local churches and chapels along the route between Briare, Nevers and Cours-les-Barres are tied to the region's religious history.

Macworld is recommending a $46 burgundy charger and cable combo pitched as an ideal match for the iPhone 18 Pro. The piece is drawing attention because it references Apple's rumored next flagship ahead of any official announcement, and because colored accessories styled to match iPhone finishes have become a popular trend among Apple users.

Anne of Burgundy, born on this day in 1404, was a daughter of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. Under the 1423 Treaty of Amiens she was married to John of Lancaster, son of England's Henry IV, a union meant to tie Burgundy to England during the Hundred Years' War. History enthusiasts are marking her birthday and her role in Anglo-Burgundian politics.
