Annales Erphordenses
The ''Annales Erphordenses Fratrum Praedicatorum'' ("Dominican Annals of Erfurt") are anonymous Latin annals covering the years 1220–1253. They were begun some time after the arrival of the Dominicans in Erfurt in 1229. From the 1230s onwards, they are contemporary records. They record important events in local Dominican history, including the construction of the friary in Erfurt (1231) and of the Predigerkirche (1238). They also cover wider Dominican and German history, including the War of the Thuringian Succession and the outbreak of the revolt of Henry (VII). They are also a source for several major anti-Jewish incidents, including a pogrom at Fulda (1235), the disputation of Paris (1240) and the burning of the Talmuds in France (1242). They are the most important source for the Frankfurt ''Judenschlacht'' of 1241. The ''Annales'' share material with the '' Cronica sancti Petri Erfordensis moderna''.

List Of Rulers Of Frisia
Of the first historically verifiable rulers of Frisia, whether they are called dukes or monarch, kings, the last royal dynasty below is established by the chronicles of Merovingian kings of the Franks, with whom they were contemporaries. In these contemporary chronicles, they were styled ''dux'', a Latin term for leader which is the origin of the title ''duke'' and its cognates in other languages (''duc'', ''duce'', ''doge'', ''duque'', etc.). They were independent until the death of Radbod at the earliest. After coming under Frankish rule, Frisia was governed by counts the power of these counts was very limited due to the decentralized nature of the region specifically due to the terrain. Following the Treaty of Verdun and Treaty of Meersen the Frisians east of the Vlie came under the rule of the Saxon kings of East Francia, The Saxon counts that formally owned parts of Frisia generally held little power in the region and relied on local nobles to exploit the territory in exchan ...

Year Of Birth Missing
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the mea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
