Events

Byzantine Empire

  • Spring Co-Emperor Michael IX (Palaiologos) launches a campaign which reaches south up to Magnesia on the Maeander (near Ephesus). He seeks to confront the Turkish forces, but is dissuaded by his generals. In the meantime, the Turks resume their raids, isolating Michael at Magnesia. His army is dissolved without a battle, as the local forces are left behind to defend their homes. The Alans (Byzantine mercenaries) too leave, to rejoin their families in Thrace. Michael is forced to withdraw by the sea, followed by another wave of refugees.[1]
  • July 27 Battle of Bapheus: To counter the Turkish threat at Nicomedia, Emperor Andronikos II (Palaiologos) sends a Byzantine force (some 2,000 men) to cross over the Bosporus to relieve the city. On the plain, Turkish forces (some 5,000 light cavalry) led by Sultan Osman I (or Othman) defeat the Byzantines, who are forced to withdraw to Nicomedia. After the battle, Andronikos loses control of the countryside of Bithynia, withdrawing to the forts. Meanwhile, Turkish forces capture Byzantine settlements, such as the coastal city of Gemlik.[2][3]
  • October 4 Andronikos II (Palaiologos) signs a peace treaty with the Republic of Venice, ending the Byzantine–Venetian War. The Venetians return most of their conquests – but keep the islands of Kea, Santorini, Serifos and Amorgos – which are retained by the privateers who have captured them. Andronikos agrees to repay the Venetians for their losses sustained during the massacre of Venetian residents (see 1296).[4]

Europe

  • April 8 Sultan Muhammad II dies after a 29-year reign and is succeeded by his son Muhammad III as ruler of Granada. Within two weeks of his accession, he sends a Nasrid army under Hammu ibn Abd al-Haqq to seize Bedmar and other neighboring strongholds from Castile. Nasrid forces also attack Jódar, northeast of Bedmar, and recapture Quesada. Meanwhile, Muhammad contains friendly relations with King James II (the Just).[5]
  • April 10 The first meeting of the Estates General in France is convened King Philip IV (the Fair) at the Notre-Dame in Paris. During the assembly, all three classes – the French nobles, clergy, and commons – discuss the conflict between Philip and Pope Boniface VIII about the papal legate, Bernard Saisset – who is accused to raise a rebellion of Occitan independence, associated with Navarre, under the banner of the County of Foix.[6]
  • May 18 Bruges Matins: The French garrison in Bruges is massacred at night, by members of the local Flemish militia. The revolt is instigated by Pieter de Coninck and Jan Breydel. Approximately 2,000 soldiers are killed, Jacques de Châtillon, governor of Flanders, escapes disguised as a priest with a handful of soldiers. He arrives in Paris to bring the news of the massacre to Philip IV (the Fair), who sends an army to capture the city.[7]
  • July 11 Battle of the Golden Spurs: Flemish forces led by William of Jülich (the Younger) and Pieter de Coninck defeat the French army (some 9,000 men) at Kortrijk in Flanders. The cavalry charges of the French prove unable to defeat the untrained Flemish infantry militia, consisting mainly of members of the craft guilds. Many French nobles (some 500 knights) are killed, like the commander Robert II of Artois, and forced to retreat.[8]
  • August 31 Treaty of Caltabellotta: King Charles II (the Lame) makes peace with Frederick III, ending the War of the Sicilian Vespers. The Kingdom of Sicily will pass to Angevin rule on Frederick's death, in return Charles pays a tribute of some 100,000 ounces of gold. Frederick hands over all his possessions in Calabria and releases Charles' son Philip I, prince of Taranto, from his prison in Cefalù.[9]
  • September Roger de Flor, Italian military adventurer and knight (condottiere), founds the Catalan Company, with soldiers (Almogavars) jobless after the Treaty of Caltabellotta.

England

  • Spring King Edward I (Longshanks) and the Scottish nobles led by Robert the Bruce sign a peace treaty for 9 months. John Segrave is appointed to the custody of Berwick Castle, leaving him in charge with an English force of some 20,000 men. Robert, along with other nobles, gives his allegiance to Edward.[10]
  • March Robert the Bruce marries the 18-year-old Elizabeth de Burgh at Writtle in Essex. She is the daughter of Richard Óg de Burgh (the Red Earl), a powerful Irish nobleman and close friend of Edward I (Longshanks).

Levant

  • Autumn Fall of Ruad: Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad sends an Egyptian fleet (some 20 galleys) to Tripoli, where Mamluk forces are disembarked to siege and blockade the island of Ruad. A Crusader garrison (some 1,000 men) defend the fortress of Ruad and after a short siege the Knights Templar surrender on September 26. Grand Master Barthélemy de Quincy, all the Templar archers and Syrian Christian troops are executed.[11]

Cities and Towns
