These strips, or front edges of the former large collar, became longer, until the collar had developed into the cravat.

"Louis XVI (August 23, 1754 ? January 21, 1793), was King of France and Navarre from 1774 until 1791, and then King of the French in 1791-1792. Suspended and arrested during the insurrection of the 10th of August, he was tried by the National Convention, found guilty of treason with the enemy, and guillotined on January 21, 1793. He is interred in the Chapelle Expiatoire in Paris." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loui…
"Louis XIV (Louis-Dieudonné)(September 5, 1638 - September 1, 1715) reigned as King of France and King of Navarre from May 14, 1643 until his death." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loui…
"And this night...the gates of the City ordered to be kept shut, and double guards every where."
L&M note: "There is no trace of any order to this effect in the principal city records or in those of the Privy Council (which occasionally issued directions to this effect). There were rumours of a plot at this time...."
When "Dunkirk... was sold to the French for 5 m. livres by a treaty signed on 7/17 October [1662], a deputation of London merchants went to Whitehall...to protest that the surrender would make Dunkirk 'the Harbour of all the *Privateers*', and the King therefore asked Louis XIV to issue an edict against the corsairs....But the Privateers, based in Dunkirk and thereabouts, inflicted millions of pounds worth of damage on English shipping during the Anglo-French wars of the following hundred years. In the period 1656-1783 English prize goods totalling almost ?6m. were sold in Dunkirk prize-courts alone...." L&M 1662 iii.220 note 1.

L&M note "Nicholas was now close on 70, and had been Secretary for almost 20 years. He received a *douceur* of £10,000 from the King and kept his place in the Privy Council. The King had obtained his consent - 'he would not do it otherwise' (as Clarendon later wrote) 'to so old and faithful a servant'...But Nicholas was loath to go and to have appealed to Clarendon to save him...His resignation was a victory for the young royalists over the old guard led by Clarendon, Southampton and Ormond"

"John Playford published a new book called The English Dancing Master in London in 1651. This volume contained the figures and the tunes for 105 English country dances, the first printing of these group social dances that were to dominate Western ballrooms for the next 150 years. The book appeared at a time of great upheaval in England. Civil disorder and natural disasters forced city residents to seek refuge on remote country estates; expanding trade and emigrations to distant lands carried Englishmen far from their homeland. Both phenomena affected the social life of the upper classes for whom these dances were a satisfying vehicle for leisure time recreation.
"Playford's slim volume sold quickly and he issued a second edition with nine additional dances the next year. Two editions of a third appeared in 1657 and 1665. He dropped the term ?English? in the second edition and thereafter the books were simply called The Dancing Master. The books evidently filled a real need in Englishmen's lives and copies were very likely carried or shipped to country homes and colonial outposts as soon as they appeared in Playford's shop.
"The series eventually grew to eighteen editions of the first volume (1651-1728), four of a second (1710-1728), and two of a third (1719-1726) and long out-lived its originator. The three volumes eventually encompassed 1,053 unique dances and their music. Many were copied from one edition to the next so that the entire contents, with duplicates, amounts to 6,217 dances, including 186 tunes without dances and 3 songs (Dunmore Kate, Mr. Lane's Magot, and The Quakers Dance)."

What is a "fair share of fish" was internaional law's perhaps earliest burning Q., addressed by Huig de Groot (Hugo Grotius) 1583-1645, founder of the modern natural law theory
"Grotius' conception of the nature of natural law is set forth in....1609 as Mare Liberum (The Freedom of the Seas). Mare Liberum talks about the rights of England, Spain, and Portugal to rule over the sea. If these countries could legitimately control the seas, this would prevent the Dutch from sailing, for example, into the East Indies. Grotius argued that the liberty of the sea was a key aspect in the communications amongst peoples and nations. No one country can monopolize control over the ocean because of its immensity and lack of stability and fixed limits." http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/p…
