List of "Original Fellows" of the Royal Society

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of the “Original Fellows” of the Royal Society gives an overview of the persons elected to the Royal Society after the entry into force of the second Royal Charter on May 20 and June 22, 1663 , who are known as “Original Fellows”.

history

First Royal Charter

The Royal Society was founded on November 28, 1660 at Gresham College , London . Its twelve founding members - the "Founder Fellows" - were Christopher Wren , Robert Boyle , John Wilkins , William Petty , William Brouncker , Robert Moray , Alexander Bruce (around 1629–1680), Paul Neile (1613–1686), Jonathan Goddard (1617 -1675), William Ball , Abraham Hill (1635-1722), and Lawrence Rooke (1622-1662). The name Royal Society first appeared in print in 1661. On July 15, 1662, Charles II granted the company its first royal charter . She appointed William Brouncker as their president and appointed the members of the council:

Second Royal Charter

The Society's council, however, was dissatisfied with her and obtained some changes. The second Royal Charter came into force on April 23, 1663. It set the name of the society as the Royal Society of London for Promoting Natural Knowledge , recognized Charles II as the founder and patron, and authorized it to carry a coat of arms . The second Royal Charter was read out on May 13, 1663 at a meeting of the members. It also gave the President and the Council the right to appoint suitable members to the Society during a two-month transition period without election. The members elected to the Royal Society on May 20 and June 22, 1663 in this way are referred to as "Original Fellows".

John Wallis and founding member Christopher Wren resigned from the council and were replaced by founding member Abraham Hill (1635–1722) and Gilbert Talbot (around 1607–1695). The appointments for the positions of President, Treasurer and the two secretaries remained unchanged.
