The Crusade of 1197 (also known as the Crusade of Henry VI or the German Crusade of 1197 German: Deutscher Kreuzzug) was a crusade launched by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI in response to the partway victory of Frederick I Barbarossa's crusade in 1190, and thus is also known as the "Emperor's Crusade". The Crusade ended abruptly, after the fall of Sidon and Beirut. Henry VI died of a fever in Messina in October 1197, with many higher-ranking nobles returning to Germany to protect their interests in the next imperial election. The remaining nobles in the Crusade captured Sidon and Beirut before returning to Germany.


Fratton Park tomorrow for the visit of Hartlepool, after visiting mother-in-law in Southsea nursing home.
 
Innocent III (r.1198--1216) has been considered the greatest pope of the high Middle Ages: he launched the Fourth Crusade, sent an army against the Albigensians, convened the Fourth Lateran Council, and in his struggle for the supremacy of the spiritual over the temporal power, excommunicated both King John and the Emperor Otto IV. In him, many of the abiding concerns and contradictions of the medieval papacy are powerfully embodied.

Taking my dad to the club for dinner tonight then the mad clean up before the minister for warfare returns !!

Hello anti. 3 more points, and to top it all, we are at last playing some lovely football. Did you pass muster, when your other half returned home ?
 
The Sack of Constantinople or Siege of Constantinople (also called the Fourth Crusade) occurred in 1204; it destroyed parts of the capital of the Byzantine Empire as the city was captured by Western European and Venetian Crusaders. After the capture the Latin Empire was founded and Baldwin of Flanders was crowned Emperor Baldwin I of Constantinople in the Hagia Sophia.

That was the storm cloud I was referring to previously I have 9 hours to restore Chateau Paradise to its former glory

THIS IS A HOOT Many sources state that U-120 was "sunk by a toilet" (probably a very bad way to go! :). However, the story should rightly be attributed to U-1206, one of the late model boats fitted with a new high-pressure toilet allowing the toilet to be used at greater depths than before (though in reality the culprit was not actually the toilet itself).
On 14 April 1945, the boat was quietly cruising at a depth of 200ft only 8-10 miles off Peterhead, Scotland, when the commander, Kptlt. Schlitt, decided to use the toilet without consulting a rating trained in its operation (the procedure was complicated). Something went wrong, and when the specialist arrived he misunderstood the situation and opened the wrong valve, which resulted in large quantities of seawater entering the boat. The water reached the batteries directly under the toilet, causing the production of chlorine gas, and the boat was forced to surface immediately; unfortunately right underneath an enemy aircraft.

Episode 1207 - Historical KnittingDec 11, 2013 by Annie B

This episode of Knitting Daily TV with Vickie Howell is about knitting items from the Downton Abbey era.

I kid you not <laugh>
 
In a scene increasingly littered with mallpunk junk, California's 1208 is a rock & roll life raft. Pumping out music with an edge and an intensity sorely lacking in the genre these days, this South Bay-reared quartet effortlessly teeters between melody and mayhem on its exhilarating second album, Turn Of The Screw.

Greetings Woopert - nice clean car I trust - dull morning showers for the week I fear the dryer will be used this week at great expense to the management

Type V116 U-boat U-1209. No ships sunk or damaged. Scuttled off the Scilly Isles on 18 December 1944, after hitting Wolf Rock, with 9 dead and 44 survivors.

Hello anti. Spent day shopping, and moving furniture indoors. Feels like I have strained muscles I didn't know existed. Having a few glasses of Yellow Tail Shiraz from Yendo, South Eastern Australia, and very nice too it is !
 
Ramset Epoxy Paste 1210 is a tough 100% solids, trowellable epoxy repair mortar for use in high build concrete repair applications such as
&#8226; Structural repairs to damaged concrete and masonry
&#8226; Filling holes, wide cracks, chips in concrete
&#8226; Filling gaps between steel and concrete and timber and concrete

Pardon me but it begs the question why was the furniture outside in the first place - and yes Shiraz is my favourite we have the Hunter Valley wineries but an hour away its the driving back which is the bugger

The 1211th Test Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last was assigned to the 9th Weather Reconnaissance Group, stationed at Kirtland AFB.

Hi anti. Sorry if I confused you, what I was trying to say was we were moving furniture around between the lounge, the conservatory, and the garage ! Still dog tired now.
 
1212 is possibly a typo or short form for 12/2012 made by a Youtuber while talking about the Simpsons Season 20 Episode 7 : Where Lisa purchases a "Mapple" and receive her "My Bill". The two consecutive 12 refer to the month and year and refer to the supposed grandiose event that will happen in the year 2012 (or on 12/21/2012).

Greetings Woopert - now perfectly clear thankyou - worth all the effort to be able to indulge in a bottle of yellow tail - bottoms up

Magna Carta (Latin for Great Charter), also called Magna Carta Libertatum or The Great Charter of the Liberties of England, is an Angevin charter originally issued in Latin. It was sealed under oath by King John at Runnymede, on the bank of the River Thames near Windsor, England, on 15 June 1215.

Magna Carta was the first document forced onto a King of England by a group of his subjects, the feudal barons, in an attempt to limit his powers by law and protect their rights.

The charter is widely known throughout the English speaking world as an important part of the protracted historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law in England and beyond.

Good Afternoon (well it is here !) anti. Nice day today. Hope it continues.
 
As a peace treaty Magna Carta was a failure and the rebels invited Louis of France to become their king. When John died in 1216 England was in the grip of civil war.

Evening greetings Woopert - got up with the lark shot it dozed off but I've made it before british slumber time - nice morning lashings of rain forecast later - cheers
