Charles IV, king of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity.
When the Emperor died, the whole Empire mourned. More than 7,000 people accompanied him on his last procession.
The heir to the throne of the flourishing Empire was Charles' son, Wenceslas IV, whose father had prepared him for this moment all his life. But Wenceslas did not take after his father. He neglected affairs of state for more frivolous pursuits. He even failed to turn up for his own coronation as Emperor, which did little to endear him to the Pope. Wenceslas "the Idle" did not impress the Imperial nobility either.
His difficulties mounted until the nobles, exasperated by the inaction of their ruler, turned for help to his half-brother, King Sigismund of Hungary. Sigismund decided on a radical solution. He kidnapped the King to force him to abdicate, then took advantage of the ensuing disorder to gain greater power for himself. He invaded Bohemia with a massive army and began pillaging the territories of the King's allies. It is here that my story begins.

Get the Charles IV mug.When you have stranded wire and want to insert that into a connector, you should take care that all the tiny wires (strands) go into the connector. Any strands that miss the connector's terminal (and go stray), might end up in the vicinity of the connector, where they might be touchable by a human or animal (electric shock hazard!), or they might touch other parts of the electric circuit, and subsequently cause a short (hazard of electric fire, explosion, or ignition of flammable materials/parts nearby).

Get the Charles Taylor mug.A name for a person, especially a man, that plays Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox and more. It is often to describe a fat, couch potato. Most likely, they take their mom’s credit card and use it to buy in game currencies. Most of the time, they don’t do anything all day except play video games. They will probably work at a McDonald’s or Tropical Smoothie and get minimal wage. They will give up after 2 hours because it is “too hard” when they are flipping burgers. They will go back and hide in their room or basement. Their mom will glaze them and suck up to them. She will try to get him a job but to no luck because he is lazy as hell.
