Boycott started in 1832, in Norfolk, England.
Boycott ended in 1897, at Flixton in Suffolk, also in England.
Boycott dealt with the payment of rent on tenant farms in Ireland, and the refusal of those farmers to engage in all interactions -- financial, social, and more.
Boycott's name was Charles. And he was the target of the activity that bears his name.
