See also:FAUCHET, See also:CLAUDE (1530-1601) , See also:French historian and See also:antiquary, was See also:born at See also:Paris on the 3rd of See also:July 1530. Of his See also:early See also:life few particulars are known. He applied himself to the study of the early French chroniclers, and proposed to publish extracts which would throw See also:light on the first periods of the See also:monarchy. During the See also:civil See also:wars he lost a large See also:part of his books and See also:manuscripts in a See also:riot, and was compelled to leave Paris. He then settled at See also:Marseilles. Attaching himself after-wards to See also:Cardinal de See also:Tournon, he accompanied him in 1554 to See also:Italy, whence he was several times sent on embassies to the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king, with reports on the See also:siege of See also:Siena. His services at length procured him the See also:post of See also:president of the chambre See also:des monnaies, and thus enabled him to resume his See also:literary studies. Having become embarrassed with See also:debt, he found it necessary, at the See also:age of seventy, to sell his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office; but the king, amused with an See also:epigram, gave him a See also:pension, with the See also:title of historiographer of See also:France. Fauchet has the reputation of an impartial and scrupulously accurate writer; and in his See also:works are to be found important facts not easily accessible elsewhere. He was, however, entirely uncritical, and his See also:style is singularly inelegant. His See also:principal works (1579, 1J99) treat of Gaulish and French antiquities, of the dignities and magistrates of France, of the origin of the French See also:language and See also:poetry, of the liberties of the Gallican See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church, &c. A collected edition was published in 161o. Fauchet took part in a See also:translation of the See also:Annals of See also:Tacitus (1582). He died at Paris about the See also:close of 16oI.
