    Biography

    Fisher came from a family of farmers from Hethersett, near Norwich, who had been farming there for about 100 years. His father, David Fisher (1729–1782), a craftsman, and his mother Mary, née West (1730–1819) lived in Norwich. Fisher was born on 26 December 1760. He was the eldest son and the third of the eleven children. After he had finished school he trained as a carpenter. He performed in some amateur dramatics. As he was handsome, and had a fine tenor voice, he attracted the attention of Giles Barrett, the manager of the Norwich Theatre Royal. After a trial appearance he was engaged by Barrett as a singer.

    During the 1780s Fisher's fame in and around Norwich grew and by 1788, he felt secure enough to marry. With a growing family he took the bold step in 1792 to branch out on his own and purchased a large share in a touring company owned and managed by William Scraggs, taking on the management of it. Initially the company was in competition with several other troupes, but Fisher took a more business like approach (for example paying bills promptly) and taking care of his staff of twenty or more (most of them members of the Fisher or Scraggs families but with a leaven of other professional actors), and had better equipment such as scenery (which most other touring theatres in the region did not have), and a much larger collection of good quality costumes, so gradually the competition withered away, which left north East Anglia his.

    David Fisher (II)

    David Fisher (II) (1788–1858) was an English actor, and one of the managers of Fisher's company, which had a monopoly of the Suffolk theatres.

    Biography

    David Fisher was born on 29 December 1788 in St Giles's, Norwich, the eldest of the five surviving children of David Fisher (I) (1760–1832), who was at that time a singer and actor at the Norwich Theatre Royal, and his wife, Elizabeth, née Burrell (1761/2–1814), an actress.

    Fisher made his first appearance in London at Drury Lane, as Macbeth, 3 December 1817. This was followed on the 5th by Richard III, and on the 10th by Hamlet. The recovery from illness of Edmund Kean arrested his career. On 24 September 1818, at Drury Lane, then under Stephen Kemble, he played Jaffier in Venice Preserved, Subsequently he appeared as Lord Townly in the Provoked Husband, and Pyrrhus in Orestes, He was the original Titus in John Howard Payne's Brutus, or the Fall of Tarquin, 3 December 1818, and Angelo in Buck's Italians, or the Fatal Accusation, 3 April 1819. He failed to establish any strong position, and discovered at the close of the second season that his presence was necessary on the Suffolk circuit. On 7 November 1823 he appeared at Bath in 'Hamlet', and subsequently as Shylock, Leon, and Jaffier. He was pronounced a sound actor, but with no claim to genius, and failed to please. Returning again to the eastern counties, he built theatres at Bungay, Beccles, Halesworth, Eye, Lowestoft, Dereham, North Walsham, and other places. About 1838 he retired to Woodbridge, where he died 20 August 1858. He was a musician and a scene-painter, and in the former capacity was leader for some time of the Norwich choral concerts.

    David of Bulgaria

    David (Bulgarian: Давид) (died 976) was a Bulgarian noble, brother of Emperor Samuel and eldest son of komes Nicholas. After the disastrous invasion of Rus' armies and the fall of North-eastern Bulgaria under Byzantine occupation in 971, he and his three younger brothers took the lead of the defence of the country. They executed their power together and each of them governed and defended a separate region. He ruled the southern-most parts of the realm from Prespa and Kastoria and was responsible for the defence the dangerous borders with Thessalonica and Thessaly. In 976 he participated in the major assault against the Byzantine Empire but was killed by vagrant Vlachs between Prespa and Kostur.

    Another theory

    However, there's also another version about David’s origin. David gains the title "comes" during his service in the Byzantine army which recruited many Armenians from the Eastern region of the empire. The 11th-century historian Stepanos Asoghik wrote that Samuel had one brother, and they were Armenians from the district Derjan. This version is supported by the historians Nicholas Adontz, Jordan Ivanov, and Samuil's Inscription where it’s said that Samuel’s brother is David. Also, the historians Yahya and Al Makin clearly distinguish the race of Samuel and David (the Comitopouli) from the one of Moses and Aaron (the royal race):

    David, Chiriquí

    David (Spanish pronunciation: [daˈβið]) officially San José de David is a city and corregimiento located in the west of Panama. It is the capital of the province of Chiriquí and has an estimated population of 144,858 inhabitants as confirmed in 2013. It is a relatively affluent city with a firmly established, dominant middle class and a very low unemployment and poverty index. The Pan-American Highway is a popular route to David.

    The development of the banking sector, public construction works such as the expansion of the airport and the David-Boquete highway alongside the growth of commercial activity in the city have increased its prominence as one of the fastest growing regions in the country. The city is currently the economic center of the Chiriqui province and produces more than half the gross domestic product of the province, which totals 2.1 billion. It is known for being the third-largest city in the country both in population and by GDP and for being the largest city in Western Panama.

    David (Bernini)

    David is a life-size marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The sculpture was one of many commissions to decorate the villa of Bernini's patron Cardinal Scipione Borghese where it still resides today, as part of the Galleria Borghese It was completed in the course of seven months from 1623 to 1624.

    The subject of the work is the biblical David, about to throw the stone that will bring down Goliath, which will allow David to behead him. Compared to earlier works on the same theme (notably the David of Michelangelo), the sculpture broke new ground in its implied movement and its psychological intensity.

    Background

    Between 1618 and 1625 Bernini was commissioned to undertake various sculptural work for the villa of one of his patrons, Cardinal Scipione Borghese. In 1623 only yet 24 years old he was working on the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne, when, for unknown reasons, he abandoned this project to start work on the David. According to records of payment, Bernini had started on the sculpture by mid1623, and his contemporary biographer, Filippo Baldinucci, states that he finished it in seven months.
