Charles gathered allies, among them Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac, to support his claims for the property that had been confiscated from him. Peace was solemnly sworn in 1410, and John returned to Burgundy, and Bernard remained in Paris and reportedly shared the queen's bed. Armagnac's party was not contented with political power, and, after a series of riots and attacks against the citizens, John was recalled to t ...

| | | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - History of Galway - 20th Century In 1972, part of the city center was destroyed by fire. The area involved the southern-west corner of Eyre Square, where the Bank of Ireland used to be situated.
In more recent years, the resignation of Eamon Casey as Bishop of Galway in "scandalous circumstances" in 1992 came to be seen as pivotal in the Roman Catholic Church's loss of influence in Ireland.

| | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - Philip III Duke of Burgundy - Patron of the Arts Philip was considered an extravagant ruler who embodied the qualities of chivalry. He declined membership in the English Order of the Garter in 1422, but created his own order in 1430, the Order of the Golden Fleece, supposedly based on the Knights of the Round Table. He had no fixed capital and set up court in various places, usually Brussels, Bruges, or Lille. He held grand feasts to show off his power to his subjects, and the knights of his Order frequently travelled throughout his territory participating in tournaments. In 1454 Philip planned a cru ...

| | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Nicopolis - The battle On the 25th both sides prepared for battle. Before the battle began, the prisoners from Rahova were killed, for unknown reasons. The French and English formed the vanguard, while Sigismund divided his troops into three: he commanded the centre himself, the Transylvanians formed the right wing, and the Wallachians under Mircea cel Bătrân formed the left. Bayezid formed his lines with a vanguard of cavalry protected by a line of stakes, a main line of archers and Janissaries, and the main body of Ottomans and ...

| | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - History of Scotland - Rise of the Kingdom of Alba The myth of MacAlpin's Treason tells how Alba was born when the Dalriadan Kenneth mac Alpin conquered the Picts. Modern studies are less sure of Kenneth's Dalriadan roots and consider Kenneth and his successors to be Pictish Kings. Kenneth's son Constantine had the Series Longoir written to show his family's claim to the throne of a united Pictland. The triumph of Gaelic over Pictish and the change from Pictland to Alba is placed in the half-century r ...

| | | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Nicopolis - Preparations The plan was for John of Gaunt, Louis of Orleans, and Philip the Bold to leave in 1395, with Charles and Richard following them the next year. By the beginning of 1396 these plans had been abandoned. Instead, John of Nevers led a force of approximately 10,000 Burgundians, mostly cavalry, with an English contingent of about 1000 men. There were also about 6000 men from the Palatinate, Bavaria, and Nuremberg. Sigismund had the largest force by far, about 60,000 men. The French forces set off from Montbéliard in April of 1396, arrived in Vienna in M ...

| | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - History of Scotland - Anglo-Norman influence Malcolm's victory foreshadowed what became a major thread of Scottish history for the next thousand years. He had relied on Northumbrian assistance to return to the throne, and from then on Scotland at no time remained very far from the thoughts of England's rulers. The reciprocal condition equally applied.
In 1066 the Norman Conquest shook England to its foundations and one of the claimants of the English throne opposing William the Conqueror, Edgar, eventually fled to Scotland. Malcolm married Edgar's sister Margaret, and thus came ...

| | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - Anglo-Norman literature - Lyric poetry The only extant songs of any importance are the seventy-one Ballads of Gower (Stengel, Gower's Minnesang, 1886). The remaining songs are mostly of a religious character. Most of them have been discovered and published by Paul Meyer (Bulletin de la Soc. Anc. Textes, 1889; Not. et Extr. xxxiv; Rom. xiii. 518, t. xiv. 370; xv. p. 254, &c.). Although so few have come down to us such songs must have been numerous at one time, owing to the constant intercourse between English, French and Provençals of all cl ...

| | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - Tsar - Etymology and spelling The word tsar is derived from the Latin title Caesar by way of the Old Slavonic tsesar (цесарь). The word is cognate with German Kaiser, Gothic káisar, Dutch keizer, Danish kejser, Swedish kejsare, and Norwegian keiser. The contraction of цесарь into царь occurred by the way of shorthand writing of titles in old Slavonic church manuscripts, see Titlo article. One may see the examples of this, e.g., in th ...

| | | | | 1396: Encyclopedia II - Tsar - History of usage "Tsar" is a corrupted Slavonic transliteration from the Roman "Caesar", which has a complex history, ending in utter devaluation as the Byzantine empire, which forged ever loftier princely styles for the imperial houses in its long history, commonly handed out 'honorary princeships' to 'allies' (and enemies it needed to placate) of ranks no longer high enough to be reserved for the porphyrogenetes, such as Caesar.
Throughout history, the terms Emperor ("Imperator") and Tsar were used informally as if interchangeable for the Russian so ...
