King Charles II restricts guns and bows to large landowners (who make up the nobility), thus disarming the emerging middle class and the poor. At its time, this was the most restrictive English weapons control law ever passed. 

Soon after this, King Charles III created for Chabaneau a public chair of mineralogy, physics, and chemistry at Madrid, lodged him in one of the royal palaces, and provided him with a valuable library and a luxurious laboratory (72, 73). 

Thus, in the millennia extending from antiquity to the mid-nineteenth century, epilepsy remained a medical condition surrounded by mystique— permitting charlatanism, superstition, and quackery to prosper. In general, the therapies of this time were without merit, as demonstrated by the detailed but disturbing description of King Charles IPs death, which provides a comprehensive summary of the complexity and futility of seizure therapy during the pre-modern era. 

Boyle was one of the founders and key members of the Royal Society, a group of scientists who conducted experiments under the patronage of King Charles the Second. 

In 1675, King Charles II issued an order to close the coffeehouses that were already widespread throughout England, citing idleness as the chief complaint. Two days before the proclamation was to take effect, however, Charles backed down, fearing massive protests by coffee drinkers.

As with ga.s, the methodical planned use of smoke in battle was a development of the World War. History does record sporadic attempts to Use smoke tactically in combat, as when, in 1700, King Charles XII of Sweden crossed the Dvina River in the face of the opposing Polish-Saxon army under the protection of a smoke screen generated by burning large... 

It was prohahly to this house that King Charles VI of France sent his minister to investigate rumors that Flamel was a successful alchemist. The minister visited the pair, hut observing that they ate off earthenware platters, decided that the tales of Flamel s alchemy were obviously pure invention, and reported so to his king. Below Flamel s house in 1900. 

Left King Charles II, who gave the Royal Society its first charter in 1660, and so helped chemistry establish itself as a nonmystical field of study. 

In this sense, the solar data in Table 1 represent the modem normality. However, there a few, but highly spectacular, deviant stars. Red stars [112] of spectral class S (T close to 3000 K) show absorption bands of the diatomic molecule ZrO (the far more frequent class M at the same T shows TiO absorption bands) and may also show spectral lines of atoms of teehnetium (Z = 43), of which no isotope is known to have t yj above 2.6 million years, and a quite conspicuous [46, 58] group is Ap stars (peculiar stars of class A), constituting about 5 percent of stars with T in a narrow interval close to 10000 K. The first one to be discovered was the star of third magnitude (with the ancient name Cor Caroli after the British king Charles II, a benefactor of the Greenwich Observatory) Canum Venaticorum, where Baxandall in 1913 detected strong Eu Fraunhofer lines of europium (We are not aware of any reaction to this from the 81-year old Crookes).
