Louis Of Brienne
Louis of Brienne, also known as Louis of Acre (died in 1297), was viscount of Beaumont-sur-Sarthe in Maine, France. Early life Louis was the second son of John of Brienne and his third wife, Berengaria of León. Louis and his two brothers, Alfonso and John, were commonly labelled as "of Acre" for the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, although they were born years after their father had ruled the kingdom. The barons of the Latin Empire of Constantinople offered to elect John of Brienne co-ruler of their minor emperor, Baldwin II, in 1229. John accepted the offer and the terms of his election were included in a treaty in Perugia in April 1229. The treaty stipulated that John's three sons were entitled to rule Epirus and Macedonia if he could occupy the two regions from the Greek ruler, Theodore Komnenos Doukas. John and his family moved to Constantinople where Baldwin II married John's daughter, Marie, and John was crowned co-emperor in July 1231. Louis and his two brothers ...

Guillaume De Nangis
Guillaume de Nangis (died 1300), also known as William of Nangis, was a French chronicler. William was a monk in the Abbey of St.-Denis to the north of Paris. About 1285 he was placed in charge of the abbey library as ''custos cartarum'', and he died in June or July 1300. Having doubtless done some work on the Latin manuscripts on which the ''Grandes Chroniques de France'' are based, William wrote a long ''Chronicon'', dealing with the history of the world from the creation until 1300. For the period before 1113 this work merely repeats that of Sigebert of Gembloux and others; but after this date it contains some new and valuable material. The chronicle had later continuations by other authors, though the so-called "second continuation", by Jean de Venette, which takes events up to 1368, was not a continuation of the ''Chronicon'' but rather an independent chronicle that happened to be bound into the same manuscript as the Nangis chronicle. William's other writings are: ''Gesta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Christians Of The Seventh Crusade
Christians () are people who follow or adhere to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The words ''Christ'' and ''Christian'' derive from the Koine Greek title ''Christós'' (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term ''mashiach'' (מָשִׁיחַ) (usually rendered as ''messiah'' in English). While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." It does not have a meaning of 'of Christ' or 'related or pertaining to Christ'. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, up from about 600 million in 1910. Today, about 37% of all Christians live in the Amer ...

Henry De Beaumont

Henry de Beaumont was a veteran campaigner who participated in every major engagement, from the Battle of Falkirk in 1298 to the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333. Although not now a widely known figure, he was, nevertheless, of considerable military and political importance. His long experience in the Scottish wars led him to develop a battle technique later used to great effect at Crécy and Agincourt. As one of a group of Anglo-Scots nobles later known as the 'disinherited' — Englishmen whose Scottish lands had been forfeited – he was to do much to overturn the peace between England and Scotland established by the Treaty of Northampton and bring about a Second War of Scottish Independence. By his marriage shortly before 14 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Alfonso X Of Castile
Alfonso X (also known as the Wise, es, el Sabio; 23 November 1221 – 4 April 1284) was King of Castile, León and Galicia from 30 May 1252 until his death in 1284. During the election of 1257, a dissident faction chose him to be king of Germany on 1 April.

Alfonso was a prolific author of Galician poetry, such as the ''Cantigas de Santa Maria'', which are equally notable for their musical content as for ...
