William of Ware (called the Doctor Fundatus; flourished 1290–1305) was a Franciscan friar and theologian, born at Ware in Hertfordshire. He almost certainly studied at Oxford University and lectured on the Sentences of Pierre Lombard there, but he is not listed among the Oxford masters. There is some evidence, but no certainty, that he also taught at the University of Paris, perhaps lecturing there too on the Sentences. He was known as the Doctor Fundatus (established doctor) and less commonly the Doctor Praeclarus (very clear doc ...

The Manesse Codex or Grosse Heidelberger Liederhandschrift (Heidelberg, University of Heidelberg Library, Cod. Pal. germ. 848) is a book copied and illustrated between 1305-1340 in Zürich, presumably compiled by Johannes Hadlaub. It contains love songs in Middle High German by important poets, several of whom were famous rulers. The term for these poets, Minnesänger, combines the words for "romantic love" and "singer", reflecting the content of the poetry, which adapted the Provençal troubador tradition to Germ

The Kamakura period (1185–1333) marks the transition to the Japanese "medieval" era, a nearly 700-year period in which the emperor, the court, and the traditional central government were left intact but were largely relegated to ceremonial functions. Civil, military, and judicial matters were controlled by the bushi class, the most powerful of whom was the de facto national ruler. The term feudalism is generally used to describe this period, being accepted by scholars as applicable to medieval Japan as well as to medieval Europe. Bo ...

Cremona - Ancient city. Cremona was originally a settlement of the Cenomani, a Gaul tribe. The today's city was founded in 218 BC by the Romans as a military outpost (castrum), together with the twin city of Piacenza. It quickly grew into one of the largest towns in northern Italy, as it was on the main road connecting Genoa to Aquileia, the Via Postumia. In 40 BC the heirs of the veterans who had sided with Marcus Iunius Brutus and the Senate forfeited their lands to Augustus' men. The city's prosperity c ...

The Děčín area was settled by the Slavic tribe of the Decane in the 9th century, giving it its name. At first it was built on the left bank of the Labe, but after a flood it was rebuilt on the right bank in 1059. From 1305, the Lords of Wartenberg were in control of Děčín for two hundred years until 1534, when it was bought by the rich Lord Rudolf von Bünau. This family introduced Protestantism to the region but the religion was dropped when the Bünaus were driven out in 1620. Unable to live in Děčín any more, in 1628 Bünau sold the town to the Baron of Thun, w ...

After the fall of Acre, the Franks who were able retreated to Cyprus, this including Jacques de Molay and Thibaud Gaudin, the 22nd Grand Master of the Temple. During a meeting assembled on the island in the autumn of 1291, J. de Molay spoke and pointed to himself as an alternative and reformer of the order. Before 16 April 1292 Gaudin died, leaving the mastership open for Jacques de Molay, as there were no other serious contenders for the role at the time. The election took place before 20 April, as a document in the archives of the Crown of Aragon attests and recognizes Jacques de Molay a ...

Mining became such an important part of life in the region that as early as the 12th century, tin miners developed their own set of laws (stannary laws) and, ultimately, their own parliaments (stannary parliaments). These laws applied to anyone involved in the industry. Stannary parliaments were established in Tavistock, Ashburton and Chagford by King Edward I in 1305. Plympton followed soon after. A Devon parliament once used to meet in an open air forum at Crockern Tor. Anyone who broke a stannary law could find himself imprisoned at ...

Coban attempted to neutralize the influence of the viziers. In 1318, he convinced the discredited former vizier Rashid al-Din to return to the Ilkhanid court. Rashid, who had many enemies, was accused of poisoning Öljeitü soon after he returned. Coban promptly turned on him, and Rashad was put to death in July of that year. In 1319, armies under the command of the khan of the Blue Horde, Öz-Beg, invaded the Ilkhanate. Abu Sa'id led a campaign to stop the invasion. Coban was on his way to assist Amir Husain (the father of the founde ...

Over the course of the preceding centuries, Capetians would spread throughout Europe, ruling every form of provincial unit from kingdoms to manors. Besides being the most numerous royal family in Europe, it also is one of the most incestual, especially in the Spanish Monarchy. Salic Law, reestablished during the Hundred Years' War from an ancient French tradition, caused the French monarchy to permit only direct male descendents of Hugh to succeed to the throne of France. This did not effect monarchies not under that law such as Portugal, Sp ...

Incorporation of Brittany into the Carolingian empire ensured that the political and social institutions were similar to those prevaling elsewhere in western Francia. Until the 10th century, Brittany was severely affected by Viking attacks and ducal authority was weak. Dynastic disputes caused the political fragmentation of the duchy into counties and authority suffered even further from the pressures of resisting claims by both the dukes of Normandy and the counts of Anjou. This process of fragmentation was halted and reversed from the mid-eleventh century, when intermarriage resulted in the ducal title ...

Mikhail of Tver, who ascended the throne of Vladimir in 1305, was one of the most beloved of medieval Russian rulers. His policy of open conflict with the Golden Horde led to his assassination there in 1318. It is an opinion of many historians that he was in fact killed en route to the Golden Horde by a band of Muscovite soldiers. The Moscow duke Ivan Kalita had agreed to murder his rival in exchange for the all-Russia reign, that was granted by the Horde. His son Alexander "the Terrible Eyes" succeeded him, and, concluding an alliance with the mighty Lithuania, mana ...
