Karl of Austria - throne of Hungary in the early 1920s. Karl has generally been seen by historians as an honourable figure who tried as emperor-king to halt World War I. On 14 April 2003 the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints, in the presence of Pope John Paul II, promulgated Karl of Austria's "heroic virtues", a step on the road to sainthood in Roman Catholicism.

In 1911 he was married to Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma, a daughter of the exiled Duke of Parma.

Kaloyan of Bulgaria - younger brother of Ivan Asen I and Peter II. Before 1204, Kaloyan was involved in protracted negotiations with Pope Innocent III, promising to unite the Bulgarian church with the Roman Catholic church, if the pope would acknowledge his rank as Tsar. The pope sent a legate with a king's crown instead. According to the Chronicles of Geoffrey of Villehardouin, Kaloyan (who he calls Johannizza, King of Bulgaria and Wallachia) had repeatedly attacked Adrianople prior to 1204. In 1204 the Crusaders of the Fourth Crusade conquered Constantinople and founded the Latin Empire on the ruins of Byzantium, crowning Baldwin, Count of Flanders (IX) and Hainault (VI), as the Emperor of Constantinople.

Kenelm Digby - that the Roman Catholic Church, possessing alone the qualifications of universality, unity of doctrine and uninterrupted apostolic succession, is the only true church, and that the intrusion of error into it is impossible. He therefore exiled himself voluntarily to the France of Cardinal Richelieu. Returning to support Charles I in his struggle to establish episcopacy in Scotland (the Bishops' Wars), he found himself increasingly unpopular with the growing Puritan party. He left England for France again in 1641. Following an incident in which he killed a French nobleman in a duel, he returned to England via Flanders in 1642, and was jailed by the House of Commons. He was eventually released at the intervention of Anne of Austria, and went back again to France. He remained there during the remainder of.
Kingdom of Jerusalem - Italian city-states owed nothing despite living in the port cities. As a result, Crusader armies tended to be small, and drawn from the French families of the cities. The urban composition of the area, combined with the presence of the Italian merchants, led to the development of an economy that was much more commercial than it was agricultural. Palestine had always been a crossroads for trade; now, this trade extended to Europe as well. European goods, such as the textiles of northern Europe, made their way to the Middle East and Asia, while Asian goods were transported back to Europe. The Italian city-states made enormous profits from this trade, and it influenced their Renaissance in later centuries. Because the nobles tended to live in Jerusalem rather than an estate in the.
Kiss - also a means of expressing greetings between people of close acquaintance, often family members. This typically involves kissing on the cheek. Kissing may also be used to signify reverence and subordination, as in kissing the ring of a king or pope. A kiss can also be rude or done for the sake of irritating or proving one's superiority. A rude kiss or a kiss with a smack is referred to as a buss.

Know-Nothing movement - starting in the late 1840s, and was characterized by calls for a number of measures to maintain the United States as a nation of Anglo-Saxon Protestants. Causes of the Movement Distrust of the Pope The fact that many of the new immigrants were Roman Catholic sat poorly with much of the United States's largely-Protestant population. In particular, many Protestants viewed with distrust the strong allegiance of Roman Catholics to the Pope; many Protestants saw this allegiance to the Pope as an allegiance to a foreign prince (especially since the Pope is also head of state of The Vatican), and thus dangerous to American independence and possibly even treasonous. These concerns spawned widely-held conspiracy theories regarding the Pope's purported plans to subjugate the United States through a continuing influx of his followers..
