    1688 · Glorious Revolution
    Age 5
    The Glorious Revolution brought the downfall of Catholic King James II and the reign of his Protestant daughter Mary and her Dutch husband, William III of Orange.
    1720 · South Sea Bubble
    Age 37
    The South Sea Bubble Bill was passed by the House of Lords in 1720. This allowed the South Sea company to monopolize trade with South America. The company underwrote the English National Debt which promised 5% interest from the government. As shares rose exponentially, many companies were created and many fortunes were made. The stocks crashed and many people lost their money which caused them to become destitute overnight and suicide was common. Robert Walpole took charge of the South Sea Bubble Financial Crisis by dividing the national debt between the Bank of England, the Treasury, and the Sinking Fund.

    Name Meaning

    English (Kent and Middlesex): from Middle English whit bred (Old English hwīt brēad ‘white bread’), probably denoting a baker or seller of white bread. White bread, considered the best bread, was made from wheat flour. The name may also derive from Middle English whete bred ‘wheat bread’ (Old English hwǣte brēad), denoting a baker or seller of bread made from wheat. The terms ‘white bread’ and ‘wheat bread’, though of different origin but with identical reference, fell together. Alternatively, the surname may also derive from a metathesized form of Whitberd, from Middle English whīt ‘white’ + berd ‘beard’ (Old English hwīt + beard), a nickname for someone with a white beard.In some instances, perhaps an Americanized form (translation into English) of the German cognate Weisbrot .
