I know, but it gets boring doing it after a while!

No - we should do this the long way...

1261: Pope bans flagellants, population of Greenland accepts overlordship of king of Norway (courtesy of wikipedia as usual). That's actually quite interesting - I didn't think there WAS a population of Greenland in 1261. You won't get bored this way!

And we might learn something...

1262:
Strasbourg becomes an Imperial Free City of the Holy Roman empire. King Mindaugas of Lithuania renounces Christianity, returning to his Pagan roots and reverting to the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

Oops hit post before I was finished...

1262 (continued):
Richard of Chichester is canonised as a saint; he is best known as the author of the prayer later adapted into the song Day by Day in the musical Godspell.

Hang on, now this is post 1263...bugger...

1263:
King Alexander III of Scotland defeats the Viking armada of King Haakon IV of Norway in the Battle of Largs (gosh, they did fun things back then!).
Genoa captures the city of Chania on Crete from the Venetians.
And...our good friend Grand Duke Mindaugas is assassinated in an inside job (his cousin Treniota did it) - family, eh? Can't choose em, can only kill em.

Now tell me this isn't a better way to get to post 12345, Coastman.

Hmmm...does anyone think I have too much time on my hands these days?

S

1264: kings, battles..and another family feud - Kublai Khan defeats and imprisons his brother.

1265: Kudur-Enlil, king of Babylon, opened his Facebook account and said goodbye to MySpace forever.
