Supposedly ice cream was invented by the royal chef of Charles I of England, in the 1600s.

The origins of ice cream go back to the 4th century B.C. when the Roman emperor Nero ordered ice to be brought from the mountains.
Charles I of England had a cook named Demirco who is credited with creating ice cream. The recipe became public in 1649.
