History for year 1269:

Bohemia's Ottakar II (the Great) takes Carinthia and Carniola from Hungary, whose Béla IV is too feeble to resist (see 1261; but see also1271; Diet of Regensburg, 1274).

The Pomeranian duke Mestwin II places his inherited lands under the protection of the margraves of Brandenburg in order to receive them back as a fief. Brandenburg will later claim hereditary rights to Pomerania and Pomerellen (see 1277).

Niccolo and Mateo Polo reach Acre, eastern outpost of Roman Christendom (see 1260; 1271).

The first toll roads appear in England.

Louis IX orders French Jews to "wear the figure of a wheel cut out of purple Woolen Cloth, sewed on the upper Part of their Garments on the Breast, and between the Shoulders" (see 1252; 1306; Fourth Lateran Council, 1215).

Epistola Petri Peregrini de Maricourt ad Syerum de Foucaucourt, militem, de magnete ("letter on the magnet of Peter the Pilgrim of Maricourt to Sygerus of Foucaucourt, soldier") by French scholar Petrus de Maricourt (Petrus Peregrinus) [b. c. 1240, d. c. 1270-90] is the first Western account of the forces between the poles of a magnet and of a compass dial. See also 1190 Transportation; 1600 Earth science.

Quiet here this morning... only see Tanjman around... hi Tanjman!!

[rtrapasso]

heh heh heh... should we annoy RUPD? he hates even the THOUGHT of a faber...

[rtrapasso]

and has anyone actually COMPLETED a faber since the GREAT ABRIDEMENT??

[rtrapasso]

It seems to me that someone has, but i could be wrong...

[rtrapasso]

It shouldn't be hard to check, there are only about 59 pages since then...

[rtrapasso]

That's not so many to check... no, not too bad...

[rtrapasso]

Of course, there have been several ATTEMPTS at Fabers that have been unsuccessful... [:-]

[rtrapasso]

Bad, BAD people - attempting to Faber... [:-] [:-] [:-]
