Peter Estenberg (also known as Peter von Estenberg and Petrus Estenberg) lived in the late 17th - early 18th century and was a member of the Swedish nobility of the house of Estenberg, a noted scholar, and an ambassador to Poland.
 His family Coat of Arms is displayed in the Riddarhuset in Stockholm.
 In the early 18th century, Peter Estenberg became an advisor to Poland's King Stanislaw (Stanisław Leszczyński).
 Peter Estenberg was also a master of Greek language, a tutor to the Swedish royal family, and a professor of Greek studies and Philosophy at the University of Lund, and later the rector of Jamshog and Nasum's parishes.
Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont (sometimes spelled Bellamont, 1636 – 5 March 1700/01), known as The Lord Coote between 1683–89, was a member of the English Parliament and a colonial governor.
 Born in Ireland, he was an early supporter of William III and Mary II, siding with them in the Glorious Revolution.
Meyer & Berenberg was a London trading firm active in the West Indies trade in the late 17th and early 18th century.
 It was founded in the late 17th century by Sir Peter Meyer, a London merchant and a native of Hamburg who became an English citizen, and members of the Berenberg family, who originally belonged to the Dutch merchant colony of Hamburg and who likewise became English citizens.
 It was one of the largest international trade (import–export) companies of London of the era.
 It should not be confused with Berenberg Bank, founded by the main branch of the same family.
The territory of the present United States state of New Hampshire has a colonial history dating back to the 1620s.
 This history is significantly bound to that of the neighboring Massachusetts, whose colonial precursors either claimed the New Hampshire territory, or shared governors with it.
 First settled in the 1620s under a land grant to John Mason, the colony consisted of a small number of settlements near the seacoast before growing further inland in the 18th century.
 Mason died in 1635, and the colonists appropriated a number of his holdings.
 Thomas Roberts served as the last Colonial Governor of the Dover Colony before it became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
 In 1641 the New Hampshire colonists agreed to be ruled by Massachusetts Bay Colony, which also claimed the territory.
 Massachusetts governed the New Hampshire settlements until 1680, when it became the royally chartered Province of New Hampshire.
 In 1686 the territory became part of the Dominion of New England, which was effectively disbanded in 1689 following the 1688 Glorious Revolution in England.
 After an interregnum under "de facto" rule from Massachusetts, Samuel Allen, who had acquired the Mason land claims, became governor.
 From 1699 to 1741 the governorships of New Hampshire and the Province of Massachusetts Bay were shared.
The Basques were among the first to catch whales commercially, and dominated the trade for five centuries, spreading to the far corners of the North Atlantic and even reaching the South Atlantic.
 The French explorer Samuel de Champlain, when writing about Basque whaling in Terranova (i.e. Newfoundland), described them "as the cleverest men at this fishing".
 By the early 17th century, other nations entered the trade in earnest, seeking the Basques as tutors, "for [they] were then the only people who understand whaling", lamented the English explorer Jonas Poole.
 Having learned the trade themselves, other nations adopted their techniques and soon dominated the burgeoning industry – often to the exclusion of their former instructors.
 Basque whaling peaked in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, but was in decline by the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
 By the 19th century, it was moribund as the right whale was nearly extinct and the bowhead whale was decimated.
Laing House of Plainfield Plantation is a historic house in Edison, Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States, built in the early 18th century when the region was being settled by Scottish Quakers in the late 17th and early 18th century, as recalled in the name of The Plainfields and Scotch Plains.
 The region was part of the colonial era Elizabethtown Tract and later part of Piscataway Township.
 It is not certain whether the name derives from the plain clothing worn by the founders or is a reference to the landscape.
 The house was added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The William Murray House is a historic First Period house at 39 Essex Street on the east side of Salem, Massachusetts.
 It is a two story wood frame house that consists of two distinct sections that have not always been treated as a single unit.
 Its construction history provides a window into 17th and 18th century building methods.
 The westernmost section was built c. 1688, and is three window bays wide and a single room in depth.
 The eastern section, also three bays wide and one room deep, was added in the late 17th or early 18th century.
 The western portion originally had an overhanging section of the second floor; this was altered in the early 18th century, when the roof was raised to a flatter pitch and the overhanging section was concealed by construction of a flush wall.
Peter Sergeant (died 1714) was a merchant in Boston, Massachusetts, United States in the late 17th and early 18th century.
 Born in England, he moved to Boston and prospered as a merchant.
 He served as town constable in 1674, and as a Councillor 1692–1703 and 1707–1714.
 He was a member of the Third Church congregation attending services at the Cedar House and later at the Old South Meeting House.
 He was also associated with the New England Company.
 During the 1689 Boston revolt, he participated in the Committee of Safety that ousted governor Edmund Andros.
 In 1679, Sergeant built a large house on old Marlborough Street, and lived there for most of the rest of his life.
 He left briefly 1699–ca.1700, in order to accommodate royal governor Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont.
 (After 1716 the Sergeant House was known as the Province House).
 Sergeant married four times: to Elizabeth Corwin; to Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Shrimpton (1682–1700); to Mary Phips (1701–1706); and to Mehitable Cooper (1706–1714).
 His funeral was held on February 13, 1714; he is buried in the Granary Burying Ground.
Hausmalerei (German: "home painting" ) is a tradition originating with the freelance enamelers on glass in Bohemia but developed in Germany on white tin-glazed earthenware in the 17th century, in which glazed and fired but unpainted wares "in the white" were purchased on speculation by unsupervised freelance ateliers of china painters, who decorated them in overglaze enamel colours and gilding, which were fixed by further firing in their own kilns.
 A few such freelance decorators of faience operated in Nuremberg in the late 17th century, but "hausmalerei" developed in Augsburg into a notable feature of tin-glazed earthenware production during the early 18th century, before the workshops turned entirely to porcelain.
 "Hausmalerei" reached am artistic pinnacle with paintings on Meissen porcelain and Vienna porcelain in the second quarter of the 18th century; sometimes Meissen porcelains remained blank for decades before they were painted.
The Maratha emperors, from the early 17th century to the early 18th century, built and ruled the Maratha Empire on the Indian subcontinent, mainly corresponding to the modern countries of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. )
 Their power rapidly dwindled during the 18th century and the last of the emperors was deposed in 1818, with the establishment of the British Raj.
 At their empire's greatest extent in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, they controlled much of the Indian subcontinent, extending from Bengal in the east to Atak and Sindh in the west, Kashmir in the north to the Kaveri basin in the south.
 Peshwas served as subordinates to the Chhatrapati (the Maratha king), but later, they became the leaders of the Marathas, and the Chatrapati was reduced to a nominal ruler.
 During the last years of the Maratha Empire, Peshwe were instrumental in expanding the Maratha empire to this extent.
