Geoffrey Chaucer - Linguistic.
Chaucer wrote in continental accentual-syllabic metre, a style which had developed since around the twelfth century as an alternative to the alliterative Anglo-Saxon metre.

A notable set of artifacts is the Tărtăria tablets, which appear to be inscribed with an early form of writing. Also deserving mention is the Butmir Culture, found on the outskirts of present day Sarajevo. Likely over ...

No railways were allowed to be built in Dalmatia, communication between Agram (Zagreb) ...

There is no single rule to distinguish the one from the other: several factors, like interpretations of historians, the size and characteristics of the governed realm, and the title(s) chosen by the monarch play a part in distinguishing the one from the other. General characteristics indicating that a monarch is to be considered an emperor rather than a king include:
The monarch chose a title that usually translates as "emperor" in English, and/or is accepted as the equivalent of "emperor" i ...
