__NOTOC__ Year 1212 (MCCXII) was a leap year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. == Events == * July 10 – The most severe of several early fires of London burns most of the city to the ground, Over 3,000 people die. * July 16 – Battle of Navas de Tolosa: The Christian kingdoms of Spain decisively defeat the Almohads. This victory leaves however the Kingdom of Castile in a difficult financial position as the numerous soldiers have to be paid by the treasury. * December – Frederick II of Hohenstaufen is crowned King of Germany with the support of Pope Innocent III. * The Children's Crusade for the Holy Land is organised. There are probably two separate movements of young people, both led by shepherd boys, neither of which embark from Europe, but both of which suffer considerable hardship: * * Early spring – Nicholas leads a group from the Rhineland to Genoa and Rome. * * June – 12-year-old Stephen of Cloyes leads a group across France to Marseilles. * The contemplative Order of Poor Clares is founded by Clare of Assisi. * In Japan, Kamo no Chōmei writes the ''Hōjōki'', one of the great works of classical Japanese prose. * Bran Castle is erected by the Teutonic Knights. * John of England impounds the revenue of all prelates appointed by bishops who had deserted him at his excommunication. He remains on good terms, however, with churchmen who stood by him, including Abbot Sampson, who this year bequeaths John his jewels. * The Banner of Las Navas de Tolosa is begun. It is a trophy of Ferdinand III of Castile, and will end up in the Museo de Telas Medievales. * The city of Bergen op Zoom probably gets municipal rights. * The fall of Argos to the Crusaders early in the year completes their conquest of the Morea. The city, along with Nauplia, is given to Otto de la Roche as a fief (Argos and Nauplia). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1212」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
