Charles B
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (James (wikt:Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/ǵerh₂-">ĝer-, where the ĝ is a palatal consonant, meaning "to rub; to be old; grain."

Charles Stuart (abolitionist)
Captain Charles Stuart (1783 – 26 May 1865) was a Bermudian-born military officer and abolitionist. After leaving the military, he was a writer, primarily on slavery. Biography Charles Stuart was born in 1783 in Bermuda, as shown by Canadian census records (countering assertions that he was born in Jamaica). His father was presumably a British army officer posted to the Bermuda Garrison, possibly Lieutenant Hugh ''Stewart'' of the detachment of invalid regular soldiers belonging to the Royal Garrison Battalion, which was disbanded in 1784, following the Treaty of Paris, probably resulting in Stuart's emigration from the colony; the surviving parish registries for the period, compiled by AC Hollis-Hallett as ''Early Bermuda Records, 1619-1826'', list no birth of a Stuart, Stewart, or Steward in or about 1783 other than an unnamed child of Lieutenant Steward, baptised in St. George's on 8 December 1781.

Charles Stuart (painter)
Charles Stuart F.S.A. (1838–1907) was a prolific English still life and Landscape art, landscape painter who exhibited widely throughout the British Isles. He was active from 1854 to 1904. He was listed as two separate persons in the Royal Academy records, which has caused subsequent confusion. This was added to by the fact that he initially mainly painted still lifes. After 1871 this ceased completely and he painted mainly landscapes thereafter. The abrupt change is seen in a number of exhibition records of his work. These, along with the associated Gravesend work address, show clearly that only one artist was involved. Life and family Charles Stuart was born in 1838 to William and Amelia Stuart, both artists. Other Stuart family members were also artists including his brother William who emigrated to Australia in 1859. In 1860, Stuart exhibited a work entitled ''Fair and Fruitful Italy (and J. M. Bowkett)'' at the Royal Society of British Artists. The 'J. M. Bowkett' was the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
