EVENTNAME26000;The Acciajuoli Conquer Athens;x
EVENTHIST26000;In 1379 another force from the Iberian peninsula, the Navarrese Company, moved on from its efforts to conquer Albania and attacked the Catalan Duchy of Athens in concert with a Florentine force led by Nerio I Acciaioli. Finally, in 1388 the Florentine army defeated the Catalans in a decisive battle at Kaledes (a.k.a. Peritheorion or Anastasioupolis), at the far end of Lake Vistonis on the road from Xanthi to Komotini. Following this defeat and the subsequent loss of their Duchy, the Catalan Company disbanded.;x

EVENTNAME26001;The Compromise of Caspe;x
EVENTHIST26001;In 1410 the Aragonese king Martin the Ecclesiastic died - according to legend, from laughing at a joke told by his court jester - without naming an heir. He had been the last legitimate male of the ancient House of Barcelona, his sons having predeceased him, and a new king had to be chosen. The primary candidates were Louis d'Anjou and Jaume d'Urgell, but soon enough Ferdinand de Trastámara - brother of the Castilian king Henry III -  became interested in the possibility of obtaining the vacant crown, and Martin's bastard grandson Frederic de Luna - his only living male descendant - put himself forward as a claimant and had himself declared legitimate by the Aragonese Antipope Benedict XIII. Unable to find a solution and confronted with the possibility of a civil war ('ad evitandum rupturam manifestissime imminentem') the parliaments of the three sub-kingdoms (Aragon, Valencia and Catalonia) decided to appoint nine representatives (three for each kingdom) to meet in the Aragonese town of Caspe in 1412 to choose the new king. The Aragonese voted for Ferdinand, the Valencians voted two for Ferdinand and one abstention, and the Catalans voted one for Ferdinand and two for Jaume d'Urgell.;x

Finally, in 1388 the Florentine army defeated the Catalans in a decisive battle at Kaledes (a.k.a. Peritheorion or Anastasioupolis), at the far end of Lake Vistonis on the road from Xanthi to Komotini. Following this defeat and the subsequent loss of their Duchy, the Catalan Company disbanded.;x

EVENTNAME26004;Support for the Pisan Papacy;x
EVENTHIST26004;Disdainful of the bickering Avignon and Roman pontiffs, most of Christendom turned to the new Pisan pope, Alexander V, as legitimate head of the Catholic church. Though the Scots and Aragonese refused to recognize Pope Alexander, many thought that a 'neutral' third party would be able to heal the wounds caused by his two predecessors.;x
ACTIONNAME26004A;Support the Pisan Papacy!;x
ACTIONNAME26004B;He is not the Vicar of Christ!;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26005;Support for the Avignon Papacy;x
EVENTHIST26005;During the time of the Great Western Schism, support for the Papacy was undermined by the emergence of various antipopes who squabbled over legitimacy, nationality and whether it was permissible for the Pope to be based outside of Rome. The Avignon candidate was Pope Benedict XIII, an Aragonese nobleman whose chief claim to papal legitimacy was the fact he was the only surviving cardinal ordained by Pope Gregory XI, the last undisputed Pope. With the exception of the King of Aragon, a patron and close ally of Pope Benedict, most rulers chose to support the Pope who was most advantageous to their current schemes.;x

EVENTNAME26006;The Council of Pisa;x
EVENTHIST26006;In 1409, a group of cardinals and bishops called the Council of Pisa to address the ongoing schism and its resolution. Both of the reigning popes, the Bishop of Avignon and Bishop of Rome, chose not to attend the gathering. After having given two months for the pontiffs to appear, the Fathers of Pisa took a most unprecedented step. The Patriarch of Alexandria, Simon de Cramaud, declared to the gathered assembly, 'Benedict XIII and Gregory XII are recognized as schismatics, the approvers and makers of schism, notorious heretics, guilty of perjury and violation of solemn promises, and openly scandalizing the universal Church. In consequence, they are declared unworthy of the Sovereign Pontificate, and are ipso facto deposed from their functions and dignities, and even driven out of the Church. It is forbidded to them henceforward to consider themselves to be Sovereign Pontiffs, and all proceedings and promotions made by them are annulled. The Holy See is declared vacant and the faithful are set free from their promise of obedience.' After over a week of consultation, the gathered cardinals elected unanimously Cardinal Peter Philarghi to take up St. Peter's throne as Pope Alexander V. In short order, the Pisan pope was recognized by the majority of the Church.;x
ACTIONNAME26006A;Third time's the charm?;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26007;The Council of Constance;x
EVENTHIST26007;Called by the German King Sigismund, the main purpose of the Council of Constance was to end the Great Western Schism. At the time of the conference, three different individuals claimed the heritage of St. Peter. On 4 July 1415 the Prince of Malatesta (proxy for Pope Gregory XII) announced the resignation of the Pope and the deposition of the other two anti-popes. Two years later, Martin V would take the throne of St. Peter and was proclaimed the Pope of all Christendom.;x
ACTIONNAME26007A;The breach has been healed!;x

EVENTNAME26008;Manuel travels to Western Europe;x
EVENTHIST26008;In the late 14th century, the growing presence of the Ottoman Turks threatened not only the prosperity of the Byzantine Empire, but even its existence. In a desperate act, Emperor Manuel left the country and traveled to Western Europe, where he was to beg for the support of the foreign courts in his fight against the Turks.;x
ACTIONNAME26008A;We might find friends there;x
ACTIONNAME26008B;Nothing good can come of this;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26009;Manuel's Return;x
EVENTHIST26009;First of all, the Emperor visited Italy. In Milan he was lavishly endowed, but the local duke was shocked by the poverty of the Byzantine heir. He then visited the courts of Charles VI of France and Henry IV of England, where he was treated with great dignity and offered jousting tournaments and gifts, but he never received the firm support for a Western-backed crusade against the Turks that he had been hoping for.;x
ACTIONNAME26009A;It's good to have him back!;x

EVENTNAME26010;A Bridge in the Atlantic;x
EVENTHIST26010;In the early 15th century, the colonization of the Canary Islands by Castile began. That venture, sponsored by Henry III, was undertaken by two French cavaliers, Jean de Béthencourt and Gadifer de la Salle, in the King's name. On the 1st of May of 1402, the squadron left the port of La Rochelle headed to Cádiz, and from there to the Canary Islands. It was to be the start of the colonization race that took Castile to lands never before seen...;x

EVENTNAME26011;The Accession of Henry V;x
EVENTHIST26011;Being constantly in dispute with his father, having probably organised plots against him, 'Prince Hal' was not really the ideal chivalrous noble shown by Shakespeare and contemporary authors. Having finally accepted to wait for his turn (his father's illness helped him to be patient), Henry was crowned in 1413. England was not really in a good situation, but after the constant struggles and rebellions known during the reigns of Richard II and Henry IV, it appeared that the new King was luckily in a far better position: he was of age to rule, his legitimacy was not contested (though his father had been viewed as a usurper, the younger Henry was not), and his chief rivals were dead. For the first time since Edward II, almost a century earlier, a succession didn't cause major troubles: the new King could therefore focus on active policies, firstly against Wales and the Lollards, and later against France...;x
ACTIONNAME26011A;Destiny is all!;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26012;The Assasination of Louis, Duke of Orléans;x
EVENTHIST26012;As Charles VI's madness began to slip greater into insanity, factions emerged in a bid for control of the throne. As brother to the king, Louis of Orléans had a strong claim to head the regency and guardianship of the royal children. On the other side was his uncle, Philip of Burgundy, who had appointed himself regent in 1392. Their fight to control the royal treasury would outlive the both of them. Philip's son, John the Fearless, also managed to have himself appointed guardian of the Dauphin, following his father's death in 1404. Soon John and Louis began making threats on each other's lives. When, in 1407, Louis was hacked apart by a mob of armed men, none doubted that John was to blame.;x
ACTIONNAME26012A;Insanity takes a toll on us all;x

EVENTNAME26013;A Confucian State;x
EVENTHIST26013;The establishment of institutions of Confucian learning was given top priority in Joseon times in order to institute a homogeneous Confucian state. A college and five municipal schools were set up in Hanyang, and local schools were established in all the magistracies. From these schools, Confucian-oriented scholar-officials were recruited for government office, and by the turn of the century the Joseon kings had formally converted from Buddhism to Confucianism.;x

ACTIONNAME26013B;We should maintain the old order;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26014;T'aejo II's Land Reforms;x
EVENTHIST26014;In T'aejo II's time, the 'Kwajonpop' (rank land law) was instituted, providing not only land for him to distribute but also the power to rule the country. He and his cabal were well aware that the ability to bring order and to end the decadent Koryo Dynasty lay in the land tenure system. Under the terms of status land system, land was ordinarily distributed for life only, on the basis of one's status or rank. Recipients were given the right to collect rent, while the peasant was given the right to cultivate their lot. The customary rent amounted to half the crop and was usually paid as rent-tax to the state. Since the peasant, as tenant, was guaranteed land tenure in terms of cultivation rights, not subject to confiscation, his livelihood was improved.;x

ACTIONNAME26014B;No, we're fine;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26015;Promotion of Confucian Studies;x
EVENTHIST26015;In order to enhance Confucian learning, movable metal type was cast for the printing of Confucian classics and historical literature in 1403. Typography was developed and improved by the repeated casting of new fonts as a means of promoting Confucian studies for the welfare and prosperity of the state.;x
ACTIONNAME26015A;Yes, we must;x

ACTIONNAME26015C;We require no investments;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26016;The Approach to Lollardy;x
EVENTHIST26016;Repression of the Lollards began under Richard II but escalated during the reign of Henry IV, as the usurper needed the Church's support in order to consolidate his legitimacy. The first Lollard martyr was William Sawtre, a rector from Norfolk, in 1401. Royal decrees forbade the use of English versions of the Bible, and anyone who made the mistake to discuss the reality of transubtantiation was immediately accused of heresy. Forced with such restraints, the Lollard movement was forced to move underground.;x

EVENTNAME26017;The Ottoman Interregnum;x
EVENTHIST26017;After the death of Bayezid I, a massive host of Ottoman pretenders began to vie for head of the Sultanate. Bayezid's oldest son, Suleyman, ruled in Adrianople, his second in Bursa, and his youngest at Amaysa. Later in the civil war, another of Bayezid's sons, Musa would enter the fray with the support of his Karamanid allies.;x

EVENTNAME26018;The Start of the Colonial Race;x
EVENTHIST26018;In the early 15th century, the Portuguese wished to upgrade their commerce of wine, fish and salt to more lucrative goods such as as slaves, gold and spices. Their first objective in this military and commercial imperialism was to be the fortified city of Ceuta, near Tangiers, where a large Berber Muslim community lived. This 'crusading' campaign, organized by King John and led by his son Henry 'the Navigator' in 1415, resulted in success for Portugal. John chose to keep this strategic location rather than razing or abandoning it, as it could be used as a staging point for future invasion or colonization.;x

EVENTNAME26019;The Death of Timur;x
EVENTHIST26019;While preparing for a campaign against the Ming dynasty of China, Timur came down with a fever and died in Otrar in February, 1405. Although Timur had chosen his skilled grandson, Pir Muhammad, to succeed him, the succession was inevitably disputed. Supported by none of his relatives, Pir Muhammad found it impossible to hold onto the throne. After five years of warfare, his uncle, Shah Rukh would become undisputed ruler of the Timurid Empire.;x
ACTIONNAME26019A;All good things must come to an end;x
#;x
EVENTNAME26020;Armagnacs and Burgundians;x
EVENTHIST26020;Following the murder of Louis, Duke of Orléans in November 1407, his supporters (the Armagnacs) began a civil war with those of his murderer, John the Fearless (the Burgundians). This conflict, headed initially by Bernard of Armagnac on one side and John himself on the other - until his own murder in September 1419 (largely a reprisal for Louis' assasination) - dragged on for the best part of 30 years, with hostilities flaring up intermittently, often in tandem with the ongoing Hundred Years' War between England and France. An important arbiter in this conflict was the King of England, whom both sides sought as an ally against the other. Henry IV initially erred towards the Armagnacs in an effort to uphold the fragile peace treaty with France, whereas his more belligerent son Henry V threw his lot in with the Burgundians in order to divide and weaken opposition to his own claim to the French throne. Following the deaths of both Henry V and the insane Charles VI in 1422, and the subsequent Treaty of Arras in 1435, the victorious Charles VII definitively put an end to the bitter rivalry between the Armagnacs and Burgundians. By the end of the Hundred Years' War in 1453, many of those involved in the initial dispute were long dead, and France's ultimate victory had buried the rivalry along with them.;x

EVENTNAME26021;The Regreg War;x
EVENTHIST26021;The turn of the 15th century saw the territorial apogee of the Majapahit Empire, with numerous client kingdoms under its sway and holding a virtual monopoly on the lucrative East Indies trade routes. Despite this vast material wealth and geopolitical influence, it suffered from recurrent succession crises, and the state itself was an ineffectual bureaucracy that rarely enjoyed any kind of cohesive strategic leadership. Perhaps the single most destructive event in Majapahit's history was the Regreg War, in which the Emperor Wikramawardhana, based in western Java and Sumatra, was challenged by his eastern vassal Bhre Wirabhumi, a powerful Javanese prince who wished to influence imperial diplomacy towards his backers in Ming China and away from the Emperor's preferred allies in Southeast Asia. This civil war did immense damage to Wikramawardhana, already weakened by a moribund foreign policy and having designated his daughter Suhita as his heir. Following the deaths of Suhita and her brother Kertawijaya, Majapahit would finally collapse.;x

EVENTNAME26022;Distant Shores;x
EVENTHIST26022;By the early 15th century the neighboring kingdoms of Portugal and Castile had begun to live a relatively peaceful coexistence after decades of mutual mistrust, and having been on opposing sides in several wars of succession. The rulers of both kingdoms knew that commercial and colonial interests overseas provided much greater opportunity than intermittent border wars, or being caught up in the dynastic schemes of foreign crowns. Initially, these enterprises were focused on Jean de Béthencourt's conquest of the Canary Islands for Castile, and Gonçalo Velho's discovery of the Azores for Portugal. Following these two events, numerous explorers and merchants offered their services. The Age of Discovery had begun...;x

EVENTNAME26024;The Welsh Revolt;x
EVENTHIST26024;The Welsh Revolt was the final coordinated large-scale rebellion by the native Welsh against English rule. Led by the charismatic Owain Glyndwr, Prince of Wales, the rebels managed to unite most of the country and storm several English castles, from which successive raids and skirmishes bolstered the rebel cause and swelled their ranks. Though Glyndwr himself was never killed or captured, his rebellion was put down over a ten-year period from 1400, and the future Henry V - then heir to the throne - earned his spurs fighting rebels across both Wales and Northern England. By 1415 the rebellion had died out, English control of Wales had been restored, and the new king had set his sights on matters in France.;x

EVENTNAME26025;The Ming Conquest of Dai Viet;x
EVENTHIST26025;The late 14th century had been a time of unprecedented calamity for Dai Viet, and saw it ravaged by plague, famine, rebellion and repeat invasions by the neighboring Champa kingdom. By the turn of the century, the ruling Tran dynasty had been overthrown by the short-lived Ho dynasty, whose attempts at bringing stability and establishing peaceful relations with China would prove futile. To make matters worse, exiled members of the Tran dynasty lobbied the Yongle Emperor to intervene on their behalf, believing that the Ming dynasty would safeguard a restored Tran dynasty if they were favorably disposed to China. The matter was finally decided in 1406, when the Yongle Emperor sent his favorite general, Zhang Fu, at the head of 200,000 Chinese soldiers to conquer Dai Viet. Zhang Fu's army was undoubtedly the most advanced on Earth at that time - his forces were equipped with thunderclap bombs, multiple kinds of cannon, handguns, grenades and rudimentary rocket artillery.;x

EVENTNAME26026;The Revolt in Beta Israel;x
EVENTHIST26026;The ancient Jewish communities of Beta Israel had lived in the lands of the old Axum kingdom since time immemorial, and the Solomonid dynasty claimed descent (and thus its legitimacy to rule) from the eponymous King Solomon and the legendary Queen of Sheba. Originally, a number of local rulers in East Africa practised Judaism, but over the centuries war, trade and diplomacy had seen them adopt the emergent faiths of Christianity and Islam - or in rarer cases, revert to local pagan beliefs. By the end of the 14th century, the few remaining non-Muslim realms in the region were limited to the Coptic kingdoms of Nubia and the Oriental Orthodox Empire of Ethiopia. The remaining tribes of Beta Israel - such as the old royal family of Gideon - continued to lose power and influence owing to their refusal to convert, and over time were pushed further west. Though sporadic rebellions occurred, they were generally small in scale, uncoordinated, and posed little threat to the ruling Solomonid dynasty. The final major revolt took place in Gonder during the reign of Dawit I (1382-1413), after which the Beta Israelis were forcibly converted and assimilated into Ethiopian society.;x
