1621 AD January 12 – Şehzade Mehmed, the 15-year-old half-brother of Ottoman Sultan Osman II, is put to death by hanging on Osman's orders. Before dying, Mehmed prays aloud that Osman's reign as Sultan will end soon. It seems that his dying prayer was granted to him. Osman died the next year!

1624 Cardinal Richelieu is appointed by Louis XIII of France to be his chief minister (and some centuries later, Dumas will blacken his name for all eternity, making him the bad guy in the Three Musketeers!)

1626 King Charles I of England is crowned. He will be the first king to lose his head on the executioner's block, setting a very bad example.

After 14th births!

1632 Two great philosophers were born this year, Locke and Spinoza. (they didn't die together, though, Spinoza died quite young at age of 44 where Locke managed to get to 72, a little rare for this time)

1634 Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, signs a classified order dismissing Albrecht von Wallenstein, the supreme commander of the Imperial Army. Wallenstein was prepared for this eventuality and had his officers sign an oath of royalty. This fails to protect him, though, from assassination.

1639 has nice multiples of 3 in it. 6, 3, 9, 63, 39, 639. 1639/3 = 546.333333333 which means 1639 has infinite threes after being divided by three.
