I tried to lose exactly 10 points to have any sort of obvious significance in my year, but CC wouldn't let me, so here's 1502:

Hmmm... trying to search 1777, I get pages and pages and pages of American Revolution stuff. The only interesting item in the whole bag is
January 15th -- Vermont declares its independence from New York
-- can't really blame them now, can you?

Can we find something non-Yankee-Doodlish? Oh, here we go:
The code duello is adopted at the Clonmell Summer Assizes as the form for pistol duels in Ireland. It is quickly denounced but nevertheless widely adopted throughout the English-speaking world.


But of course,
May 16 – Lachlan McIntosh and Button Gwinnett shoot each other during a duel near Savannah, Georgia. Gwinnett, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, dies 3 days later.
Wonder if they used the code duello rules? And would it have changed the outcome if they had?

May 13th - University library at Vienna opens
Some students had been lined up since 1735....

Aug 4th - Retired British cavalry officer Philip Astley establishes 1st circus
What, the American Revolution wasn't entertaining enough?

Dec 8th - Capt Cook leaves Society Islands
Anti-social prick...:-)

In Portugal,
The death of King Joseph in 1777 forced the accession of Infanta Maria Francisca, his eldest daughter, to the throne of Portugal; she succeeded her father as the first Queen regnant of the 650-year-old country, which was still recovering from the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
You're just rebuilding from one disaster and along comes another....:-)

A heart-rending love story:
Augusta was one of the most beautiful women of her time. Her father commissioned the painter Johann Heinrich Tischbein a portrait of Augusta showed as Artemisia. Count Heinrich XXIV showed this painting during the Perpetual Diet so potential marriage candidates were aware of his beautiful daughter.

In Ebersdorf on 13 June 1777 Augusta married Franz Frederick Anton, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Duke Franz previously acquired the Artemisia painting four times his original price because he was deeply in love with Augusta, but he had to married with a relative, Princess Sophie of Saxe-Hildburghausen, who died seven months after the wedding, so let the Duke free to pursue the hand of his beloved.
I wonder how Sophie died. Sure hope it wasn't a code duello thing...

The Swedes are distinguislied from other people of Europe by a national dress, establislied in 1777, with the laudable design of repressing luxury in the article of clothes
Prior to 1777, Swedes had worn things like this:
Image

The British, not to be outdone, established DENTS

In Asia,
The new description of central Asia, published at Pekin in 1777, contains the following notice: The territory of Khoutche produces copper, saltpetre, sulphur, and sal ammoniac.
Khoutche, Khoutche, Khoutche!

And finally,
Anastasios, son of Hatzigiovannis of Ankyra (Ankara), Asia Minor, was martyred for his Orthodox Christian faith and love of Jesus Christ, in the city of Ankyra , Asia Minor, in the year 1777.
As they put the torch to the pyre, Anastasios... screamed in vain
