The feud began and hatred grew between them. Flamsteed attempted to make amends by giving him calculations, but Newton insisted that he needed observations and the not calculations. Flamsteed felt mistreated and threatened to withhold his data believing it was his own individual property. Eventually, Flamsteed had to hand over the data to the Royal Society, which Newton was President at the time, so it was directly handed over to him. Flamsteed was excluded from discussion on the research and without the authorization the findings that Newton discovered with his theory were put under Historia Coelestis Britannica, which was published in 1712 when the council of the Royal Society ordered it to be published. Through the discoveries and conflict between Flamsteed and Newton, Newton thought he had control over Flamsteed. During Newton’s court sponsor he lost influence and Flamsteed gained. With revenge, Flamsteed purchased all copies of his catalogue and burned
