Events
Politics and world events
Holy Roman Empire
- April 1st : Bishop Albrecht I of Riga receives Livonia from King Philip of Swabia as a fiefdom of the Holy Roman Empire. The Order of the Brothers of the Sword receives a third of the territory conquered in Livonia by contract.
- Archbishop Hartwig II. Of Hamburg - Bremen leads a crusade against the Stedinger farmers with papal approval , which ends without success with his death on November 3rd .
- Philipp von Schwaben reaches an agreement with the Bohemian King Ottokar I about the engagement of his five-year-old daughter Kunigunde von Staufen to Ottokar's two-year-old son and successor Wenzel , in order to receive support from Bohemia against Otto von Braunschweig in the German throne dispute . In doing so, he breaks the promise of engagement that he had given the Bavarian Count Palatine Otto VIII von Wittelsbach four years earlier and makes him an enemy.
- Philipp offers his increasingly isolated opponent Otto von Braunschweig to give him his eldest daughter Beatrix as his wife and to enfeoff him with the Duchy of Swabia . Despite his desperate situation, Otto refuses this offer and declares that he only wants to lose his kingship through his death.
Fourth crusade
- February 4 : The Latin Emperor Heinrich marries in Hagia Sophia Agnes von Montferrat, the daughter of Boniface von Montferrat , King of Thessaloniki and former competitor of his brother in the election for the office of Emperor, and thus reconciles the two Crusader states .
- The Bulgarian Tsar Kaloyan and Theodor I. Laskaris , Emperor of Nicaea , join forces and begin an offensive against the Latin Empire from two sides. Kalojan invades Thrace again and besieges Adrianople , at the same time Laskaris attacks several Latin castles in Asia Minor, both on land and at sea. With a fleet of Venetian and Pisan ships, Heinrich succeeds in relieving the castle of Ciboto, which is by the sea, and in repulsing Laskaris. In April, Kaloyan abandons the siege of Adrianople and withdraws from Thrace after his Cuman warriors fall from him. In the summer Heinrich and Theodor sign a two-year armistice.
- In the summer Heinrich meets with his father-in-law Boniface von Montferrat in Cypsela near Adrianople and receives homage from him as his overlord. On the way back to Mosynopolis , Boniface plundered the Sweti Joan Prodrom monastery , shortly afterwards he was ambushed by the Bulgarians. He is captured and beheaded on September 4th , his head sent to Kaloyan.
- Under the tutelage of his mother Margaret of Hungary, the underage Demetrius von Montferrat succeeds his father Boniface as King of Thessaloniki . This succession arrangement is not without controversy among the followers of Boniface. In particular, a large group of Lombard knights under Oberto II von Biandrate favored the successor to Demetrius' older brother Wilhelm VI. , who succeeds Boniface in the Margraviate of Montferrat , mainly because he is the eldest son of his father and also of the age to lead the fight against Bulgarians and Greeks. The Lombards' revolt, however, was put down by the Latin Emperor Heinrich in favor of Demetrius.
- Autumn: Kalojan dies in the siege of Thessaloniki , possibly murdered by his own people. His brother Boril is elected as his successor .
- The Venetian nobleman Marco Sanudo conquered the island of Naxos and founded the Duchy of Archipelagos there .
- Venice is conquering the island of Crete from Genoese pirates who have established themselves there in recent years. The Venetocracy begins in Crete.
- Garin de Montaigu succeeds the late Geoffrey le Rat as Grand Master of the Order of St. John .
- The crusader Gottfried von Villehardouin receives rule over Mosynopolis in Thrace from Boniface von Montferrat. In the same year he began to write his chronicle Histoire de la Conquête de Constantinople about the conquest and sacking of Constantinople by the crusader army in 1204 .
- Beginning of the year: After the death of Erling Steinvegg , the Baglers elect Philipp Simonsson as King of Norway on the proposal of Archbishop Tore Gudmundsson and Nikolas Arnason , the Bishop of Oslo . At the same time, Inge II rules the country for the Birkebeiner party . However, both sides are already showing a certain degree of war weariness in the Norwegian civil war .
