The following year, taking advantage of a rumour that Conradin was dead, he was crowned King of Sicily at Palermo on August 10. The falsehood of this report was soon manifest; but the new king, supported by the popular voice, declined to abdicate and pointed out to Conradin's envoys the necessity for a strong native ruler. The pope, to whom the Saracen alliance was a serious offence, declared Manfred's coronation void. Undeterred by the excommunication Manfred sought to obtain power in central and northern Italy, where the Ghibelline leader Ezzelino III da Romano had disappeared. He named vicars in Tuscany, Spoleto, Marche, Romagna and Lombardy. After Montaperti he was recognized as protector of Tuscany by the citizens of Florence, who did homage to his representative, and he was chosen "Senator of the Romans" by a faction in the city. His power was also augmented by the marriage of his daughter Constance in 1262 to Peter III of Aragon.
Terrified by these proceedings, the new Pope Urban IV excommunicated him. The pope first tried to sell the Kingdom of Sicily to Richard of Cornwall and his son, but in vain. In 1263 he was most successful with Charles, the Count of Anjou, a brother of the French King Louis IX, who accepted the investiture of the kingdom of Sicily at his hands. Hearing of the approach of Charles, Manfred issued a manifesto to the Romans, in which he not only defended his rule over Italy but even claimed the imperial crown.
Charles' army, some 30,000 strong, entered Italy from the Col de Tende in late 1265. He soon reduced numerous Ghibelline strongholds in northern Italy and was crowned in Rome in January 1266, the pope being absent. On 20 January he set southwards and waded the Liri river, invading the Kingdom of Sicily. After some minor clashes, the rival armies met at the Battle of Benevento on 26 February 1266, and Manfred's army was defeated. The king himself, refusing to flee, rushed into the midst of his enemies and was killed. Over his body, which was buried on the battlefield, a huge heap of stones was placed, but afterwards with the consent of the pope the remains were unearthed, cast out of the papal territory, and interred on the bank of the Garigliano River, outside of the boundaries of Naples and the Papal States.
What if Manfred won this battle and did not perish?

Victory of Manfred of Sicily
The following year, taking advantage of a rumour that Conradin was dead, Manfred was crowned King of Sicily at Palermo on August 10. The falsehood of this report was soon manifest; but the new king, supported by the popular voice, declined to abdicate and pointed out to Conradin's envoys the necessity for a strong native ruler. The pope, to whom the Saracen alliance was a serious offence, declared Manfred's coronation void.

In 1263 he was most successful with Charles, the Count of Anjou, a brother of the French King Louis IX, who accepted the investiture of the kingdom of Sicily at his hands. Hearing of the approach of Charles, Manfred issued a manifesto to the Romans, in which he not only defended his rule over Italy but even claimed the imperial crown.
Charles' army, some 30,000 strong, entered Italy from the Col de Tende in late 1265. He soon reduced numerous Ghibelline strongholds in northern Italy and was crowned in Rome in January 1266, the pope being absent. On 20 January he set southwards and waded the Liri river, invading the Kingdom of Sicily. After some minor clashes, the rival armies met at the Battle of Benevento on 26 February 1266, and Manfred's army won and defeated Charles, Count of Anjou and killed Charles, Count of Anjou in action in Latium, the victory was a pyrrhic victory against the Papacy and the Angevins and Manfred forced the pope to lift his excommunication.
After the death of Charles, Count of Anjou, the body of Charles, Count of Anjou was found and sent to Provence to his wife, because of his winning he decided to make an offer to Conradin and that is marrying Beatrice, the daughter of Manfred to Conradin in order to secure Conradin's claim to the Holy Roman Throne and to have Conradin give up his caim to Sicily , King Louis IX has no lost love for the Count of Anjou when he was alive, now that Provence and Anjou are under a regency the King of France can declare both lands as fiefs of France and made Richard, King of Romans renounce Provence since it is now defacto a French vassal.
the offer to marry Conradin to his cousin was not accepted by Conradin but Conradin decided not to pursue his claim to Sicily because he realized that he is not a native ruler to Sicily and he needed to concede and the Sicilians don't like him and that Sicily would be better under Manfred, Beatrice is married to John IV Laskaris, the Basileus of the Eastern Roman Empire on 1267 in celebration of the winning of Manfred of Sicily, the marriage made Manfred of Sicily support him against the Palaiologos faction who want to rule all of the Byzantine Empire.
Beatrice of Sicily:I am about to be betrothed to someone right?
Manfred of Sicily:Yes, and that is to the Eastern Roman Emperor!
Beatrice: What is an Eastern Roman Emperor.
Manfred of Sicily: He is the King of the Greeks, do you remember about the Greek Philosophers, he speaks the same language as them
Beatrice of Sicily: okay.
Manfred of Sicily supported John IV Laskaris against his enemies and gave him soldiers and for that reason, John IV Laskaris is able to rule the Eastern Roman Empire again and because of the alliance, John IV Laskaris is able to focus on attempts on reconquering Anatolian lands from Rum and due to this, the Eastern Roman Empire became actually stable for a time and it avoided more crisis due to the help of Manfred of Sicily, Manfred of Sicily is happy because he has an ally against the pope and due to that, Manfred of Sicily is confident that the throne of Sicily would remain under the Hohenstauffens.
Manfred of Sicily told John IV Laskaris that he would help the Eastern Romans against the Empire of Rum and the Seljuks and he said the Turks needed to be expelled from Anatolia, John IV Laskaris was happy at what Manfred of Sicily said to him.
Manfred of Sicily decided that the Eastern Romans will need help from him so he decided to improve the Military of his Southern Italian realm.
Manfred of Sicily talked again to Conradin and told him about what is happening on Italy and his Eastern Roman alliance, Conradin reacted very happy that his uncle is maintaining the Kingdom of Sicily and that the Kingdom of Sicily would remain under the hands of the Hohenstauffen for a long time.



Conradin
On 1268, the Lombard league reformed are interested in appointing a new King different from the King of the Romans and it is Conradin who was the best candidate at that time.
The leader of the Lombard league said;
"Conradin looks perfect and he is related to the Holy Roman Emperors, he could be a good King for the Kingdom of Italy"
the other member said
"Yes, if Conradin can defeat all his enemies then the Kingdom of Italy can be independent from the "
Conradin was invited in Padua in order for him to be known by the new Lombard League.
Conradin was very shocked at the offer to him to be the King of the Kingdom of Italy.
He said
"I did not expect much support from the people of Italy."
Conradin said
"I will be a good king because I want to return the trust that you had given me!"
Conradin smiled at the Lombard league.
Conradin was crowned and given the Iron Crown of Lombardy which is the Crown of the Kings of Italy, he felt the texture of the crown and said.
“It is a great honor to be your King and I will do my best as your King and the only thing possible that stands between me and my is death in which I would not be in the world any more”
One of the people in the Lombard League and the duke vassals of the Lombard Crown or the Kingdom of Italy said.
“Long live the King!”
Conradin was flattered because of what was said to him by his own subjects and he felt that he is very much fit for being a King because of the trust give to him by his subjects.
After sometime, Conrad I of Italy decided that he needs the support from the french so a marriage alliance is needed by France, he summoned ambassadors to tell the french king that Conradin is interested in an alliance with France against the King of Germany.
Louis IX felt very flattered at the proposition of marriage and it was decided by Louis IX that Margaret was assigned marry Conrad I of Italy, Margaret of France was hesitant at first to agree at the marriage.
Louis IX: You will marry Conradin
Margaret of France: No, dad I would be rather a Nun rather than marry that man!
Louis IX: He is a handsome and Kind man
Margaret of France: Are you sure.
Louis IX: Yes of course.
Margaret of France rode a chariot with the ambassadors of Conrad I of Italy and her retinue not knowing what will happen to her once she arrives to Conrad I of Italy.
Conrad of Italy finally meets the young Margaret of France and meets Conrad I of Italy, the meeting was very pleasant at first but Margaret of France is very shy.

Agrippina died on January 24, 1288. Leszek the Black contacted Waclaw in order to find a lady to marry and Kunigunde of Bohemia, he was quickly granted dispensation by Pope Nicholas IV ,he was married to Kunigunde of Bohemia, the niece of Agrippina of Slavonia via her sister Kunigunde of Slavonia on April 4, 1288 , the marriage with Kunigunde went smooth, Kunigunde was fresh from a convent, and from the Order of the Poor Ladies and she was so naive that she always did what her husband Leszek has asked from her, Leszek acted more like a father to her than a husband but the marriage was consumated on the wedding night, she asked what happened to her aunt Agrippina but Leszek told her that she died and their marriage was not consumated Kunigunde said to him that she would try be the best wife for him.
Kunigunde of Bohemia gave at last birth to a male heir on June 4, 1289 and named their son Przemysl after her own father, Przemysl Ottokar, Kunigunde had no problems in giving birth to Przemysl Ottokar, the birth would mean that the Polish throne would not be up for grabs, Leszek and Kunigunde presented their son, Przemysl Ottokar to the public and Przemysl was baptized one month after being born.
Leszek promised Henry Probus that he would grant him Greater Poland if Przemysl II of Greater Poland dies without a male heir which made Henry Probus happy, Kunigunde of Bohemia talked to her brother Waclaw and later to Wladyslaw the Elbowhigh in order for the couple to improve their relationship to them.
It was later revealed that Waclaw and Wladyslaw the Elbowhigh both wanted the Polish throne themselves but due to the good health and the heir of Leszek the Black it would now be impossible to happen, Waclaw could had claimed the position of being the ruler of the Seniorate Principality of Krakow if Leszek the Black died heirless via proximity of blood while Wladyslaw could had claimed the throne because he is the next line to the Polish throne after Leszek the Black dies.
In October 6, 1289, Judith of Habsburg gave birth to twins Waclaw and Agnes, another son of Waclaw, last year, they had a son named Przemysl Ottokar who died a few months after his birth, Kunigunde and Leszek were invited on the baptism of the twins.

Przemysl II of Greater Poland dies in 1290 and his daughter, Richeza is kidnapped by Henry Probus of Wroclaw and later engaged promptly to Henry Probus of Wroclaw a few months after her father's death in order to guarantee Greater Poland to himself, Leszek was shocked of the incident but accepted it.
In 1291, Kunigunde of Bohemia told Leszek the Black that they should meet with King Waclaw II of Bohemia in order for him to see the young child, Przemysl Ottokar, Waclaw II was very fond of the child and even loved the child like he is his own son, Leszek the Black was very happy of the treatment of the child by Waclaw II, Judith of Habsburg was annoyed of the fact that Kunigunde of Bohemia is harboring Zavish.
On the latter part of 1291, Leszek the Black sent an envoy to Rome in order for him to be crowned as the King of Poland, the Pope was amused of the proposal of the envoy for the Prince of Poland, Leszek to be crowned so he approved the proposal and allowed the coronation of the Duke of Krakow, Leszek in order for him to be the King of Poland, the crown was sent by Pope Nicholas IV to the envoy of Leszek the Black in order for him to be crowned as the King of Poland.
The Crown finally arrived in December 4, 1291, and the crown was laden with Gold, Silver and Gem stones, Kunigunde and Leszek duke of Krakow were crowned as the King and Queen of Poland, Leszek became King Leszek I of Poland and Kunigunde became Queen Kunigunde of Poland.
Kunigunde of Bohemia met Judith of Habsburg in 1292 but Judith distrusted her because she harboured Zavish and let her stay in Poland and she did not even invited Kunigunde to the baptisms of her daughters, Anna(b. October 10, 1290) and Elisabeth(b. January 20, 1292), Kunigunde arranged the future marriage of Agnes of Bohemia and her son, Przemysl Ottokar, Prince of Poland and obtained the necessary dispensation from the Pope Nicholas IV, in order for the marriage to happen, the next Pope, Boniface VIII was also fond of Kunigunde of Bohemia, Queen of Poland that he also favored Queen Kunigunde in order for the betrothal to remain possible.
Judith of Habsburg brought German influences to the Prague court, like the introduction of knights at court. She made Prague a cultural centre, later in 1294, Zavish attempted to return to Bohemia and was captured by the people of Judith of Habsburg and she had him killed shortly after he was captured.
In the end, Judith and Kunigunde decided to make peace with each other again after Zavish was killed, Kunigunde found out that Judith had Zavish killed, which worsened the relationship between Judith and Kunigunde which also led to the worsening of the relationship between Waclaw and Judith, later Waclaw was able to meet Wladyslaw, the younger brother of Leszek and called him a dwarf.
Judith of Habsburg died in 1296, a few years after Zavish died, Kunigunde was happy about the death of Zavish.
In 1300, Kunigunde and King Leszek witnessed the wedding of Henryk of Wroclaw and Richeza of Greater Poland.
Empress Beatrice of the Eastern Roman Empire
Beatrice is married to John IV Laskaris, the Basileus of the Eastern Roman Empire on 1267 in celebration of the winning of Manfred of Sicily, the marriage made Manfred of Sicily support him against the Palaiologos faction who want to rule all of the Byzantine Empire and due to the marriage the rule of John IV Laskaris was saved from the revolts that plagued the Empire.
Beatrice of Sicily gives birth to a son named Theodoros on June 5, 1270.
The marriage between Beatrice and John IV Laskaris meant strong relations between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Sicily but it also meant that they have a stake in the succession if Manfred fails to have male progeny.
Due to Beatrice being a Catholic, she is unpopular at first but she was loved by the people in her court in the Byzantine Empire and for that reason, Empress Beatrice is very concerned of her husband.
On 1271-1272, the Eastern Roman Empire becomes involved in the war against the Kingdom of Italy that had splintered from the Holy Roman Empire, the result of this was the loss of Abruzzi from the Kingdom of Sicily, but this defeat was not embarassing since Manfred retained Sicily aside from Abruzzi after the battle.

Beatrice of Sicily gives birth to another child and this time to a female named Anna Laskarina on November 4, 1273.
She told her husband, John that she thinks that the Eastern Empire needed more reforms and she also told him that the Eastern Roman Empire should try to improve its relationship with the pope, John IV Laskaris did not want to upset the citizens so John told Beatrice that this is not possible yet but Beatrice wanted it to happen but both John and Beatrice made steps to make the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church to be more united as possible and he also made visits to the pope.
Beatrice of Sicily: We should unite the Eastern Orthodox Church with rome in order to strengthen us against enemies.
John Laskarina: That would cause the nobles to hate us since none of the liked Rome.
later on the reign of her husband on 1286, a skirmish happens between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Caliphate of Rum which ends up with the Eastern Romans securing a land connection to the Trebizond, which made both Beatrice and John happy, the defeat was embarassing to the Seljuks that in the next decade they are starting to splinter more into smaller states which the Eastern Romans took advantage.
John Laskarina was quoted in saying “this restoration of lands and alliance with Sicily is a great miracle to us!”

Meanwhile on 1290, Fennena of Kuyavia marries Prince Frederick of Italy, the son of Conrad I of Sicily, the marriage between Frederick of Italy and Fenenna of Kuyavia meant an addition of a smart princess to the court of Italy, the marriage was meant to counter the Habsburg-Sicilian alliance established by the marriage of Clementia of Habsburg and Frederick of Sicily.
Maria of Brabant, Queen of England
After the death of her husband on 1285, Philip III of France, she has decided that she should marry an English Prince and be a queen again, inspired by Eleanor of Aquitaine, she decided that the son of Edward I, John I of England is fitting to be her husband and married him on 1286, she gave birth to a son named Edward, Duke of Cornwall on June 4, 1287, her daughters Margaret and Blanche were betrothed to Rudolf of Habsburg and Charles of Provence respectively, the birth of the Child made England and France more connected diplomatically and aside from that the marriage caused a leak of information between the French court and the English court since Maria of Brabant goes back and forth from the French court and the English court.
On 1290, the son of Edward I, Edward is betrothed to Margaret of Norway, the fair Maid of Scotland, the future Queen of Scotland and because of that he becomes the future monarch of Scotland and for this reason England now has some influence on Scotland, the Maid of Norway was made the Queen of Scotland after her own arrival, their future marriage meant that Scotland would now fall under English influence.

Alexandre is groomed to become a successor of Clementine but he could not fit in that role because he is more lecherous than his father and wants to be more powerful than his father while Lucrezia was a girl known for her betrothals and the betrothals that don't really end up well due to Clementine changing his mind about the betrothals.
Lucrezia had a betrothal with the baron of Milan which was very successful and Lucrezia is married to the baron of Milan in 1293.
Lissander approached Conrad I and told him to make Alexander one of the advisors of Conrad I but Conrad I said no, and said he does not deserve any position.
Lissander was very much evil as well due to him being known to kill his servants who erred.
Conrad I of Italy and Lissander did not like each other due to the lechery and lust for power of Lissader and aside from that Lissander was called scum in the court of Conrad I of Italy.
Lissander was exiled from the court of Conrad I of Italy and went to the court of Pope Clementine, his father who also did not accept him as well so the fate of Lissander remained in limbo but later Lissander proved himself worthy of the court so he was allowed by his father to reside in his court with the condition of not doing what he did.
In this time the lecherous Lissander was able to acquire a harem for himself which annoyed everyone including the Pope.
On 1294, Pope Clementine was surprised about the Eastern Roman vassalization of the Kingdom of Sicily but there is nothing that they could do because the Eastern Romans are now stronger and due to this he is afraid about the Eastern Roman Empire and what it could do to the papacy but Conrad I of Italy did not lift any finger for Clementine whom he never liked anyway so instead Clementine spent most of his time in Conrad's court instead where he was not treated very well.
Lissander and his harem were a very talked much matter in Rome and for this reason the reign of Clementine was tarnished because of what Lissander did and due to this Clementine made it quite difficult to Lissander by separating him from his court and putting him in a house where in he can't bring his harem in but Lissander will do everything to be able to put his own harem there.
Clementine was also sad because of the Teutonic Order's loss of Livonia to Novgorod but Clementine decided not to intervene because there is no way for the Teutonic Order to regain that land and aside from that there are bigger fish to catch for him and this is the approval of the Kings of France and Italy to start a crusade in order for him to gain much wealth which will also feed his son Lissander.
A Horizon in the South of Orient
In the late 13th century, the population of Irraya started to increase and due to that the town of Irraya started to expand and flourish that it absorb it's nearby towns, Irraya started to look more as a progressive town.
The population increase also happened in Meykawayan and Irraya although it is less than that of Irraya.
Due to the population of Irraya and it being a trading hub in Ma-I it became a big city and very prosperous compared to other towns in Ma-I, and second to it is Meykawayan and third is Lingayen in Kaboloan.



Mongol Invasion of Nippon
In 1274, The first invasion devastated the Nipponese. The battle took place on the beaches where the two forces met. The Mongols had several advantages; the Nipponese were overwhelmed and began to retreat. Not knowing they had won, the Mongols feared the Nipponese were coming back with reinforcements and retreated but they decided to stay and hide in a remote area in Nippon instead in the Kanto region instead of boarding again the ship that they ride from Korea.


During the time period between the first and second invasion, the Nipponese prudently built two-meter walls to protect themselves from future invaders and the Nipponese did not see the Mongols would invade Nippon very successfully and wipe off Nippon from the map.


Seven years later, the Mongols sent another army in 1281 they were able to land themselves in North of Nippon in Fokuriku(later Hokuriku) wherein they marched and later assisted by their allies that once hid once they knew about the landing of another army , Kublai Khan followed after he knew that the Mongols were successful in invading Nippon and Emperor Yohito( Go-Uda Tenno) was forced to submit but Yohito does not want Nippon to depend on the Mongols and rebels against their new liege and because of that, Yohito and his son, Kuhiharu and Yohito, and the rest of his family and clan was stripped of his titles, banished and exiled creating their own polity in Tohoku in 1290 and some even went to Ryukyu and Taiwan, the first Emperor in the new polity is Kuniharu, while the daughter of Yohito was married to Manggala by force in order for the new polity in Hokkaido and Tohoku to have peace with the rest of Japan, the son of Yohito although it styles itself as the legitimate government of Nihon it is called as the Ezo Kingdom , The invasion and invasion of Western part of Nippon was described as a wrath of gods and gone down to history as an event that had changed history and no one would believe that the Nipponese Archipelago can be a superpower because Nippon has been crippled because of the Mongolian Annexation, because of the belief wrath of the gods some people in Nippon lost their faith in their traditional Shinto and Buddhist religion decided to convert to Nestorian Christianity and in general, the Nestorian faith recovers in Asia instead of being destroyed and becomes the basis of the future new churches in Asia.


Apparently, the Mongols decided annex the western part of Nippon as Mongol dominion with which is ruled by Manggala because the Yamato dynasty of Nippon is very hostile against the Mongols at this time and the Nipponese don’t want to cooperate with the Mongols, the Mongols decided not to bother with the budding polity in Tohoku(Tofoku) and Ezo by the members of the former royal family which vowed to get the rest of Nippon the new Japonic language in the eastern part of Nippon that is heavily laden with Ainu words starts to develop and the new polity has a tolerance to the Nestorians and after this the Nipponese became quite fragmented.


Nestorianism in East Asia at this point although recovering also starts to splinter into the new National Eastern Churches, because of the influence of the native religions and Buddhism.


If only Nippon had been more luckier they could had survived the mongols they could had been united and a power that defeated the Mongols and have pride in defeating the Mongols but they were not lucky.


Lithuaniae et Novgorodiae


In 1264 he escaped assassination plot by Treniota and Daumantas against his father and two of his brothers. Treniota was murdered by former servants of Mindaugas. Vai[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]š[/FONT]vilkas allied himself with his brother-in-law Shvarn from Halych-Volhynia. They managed to take control over Black Ruthenia and Duchy of Lithuania. Then they waged a war against Nal[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]š[/FONT]ia and Deltuva, two main centers of opposition to Mindaugas and Vai[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]š[/FONT]vilkas. Daumantas, Duke of Nal[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]š[/FONT]ia, was forced to flee to Pskov. Suks[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]ė[/FONT] (Suxe), another influential duke from Nal[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]š[/FONT]ia, fled to Livonia. Vai[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]š[/FONT]vilkas become the Grand Duke of Lithuania. As a Christian, he tried to maintain friendly relationship with the Teutonic Knights and the Livonian Order. He signed a peace treaty with Livonia regarding trade on the Daugava River. Lithuanian support of the Great Prussian Uprising ceased, and the orders made advances against Semigallians and Curonians uninterrupted. Together with Shvarn Vai[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]š[/FONT]vilkas attacked Poland in 1265 to avenge devastation of Yotvingians in 1264, due to what happened to him, he became a strict and wise ruler who advances his countries causes before his own and he loves his country above his own life, after this point he became known as Basil I of Lithuania.
The Mongols attack Lithuania on 1270 causing it to be crushed but King Basil I of Lithuania is not discouraged of the destruction of Lithuania but instead he decided that the survival of Lithuania is a miracle that should be celebrated and he told his court that he is still alive and they should be thankful of this miracle because Lithuania will rise again and when it rises again it will be one of the great nations that ever existed, later on he married Anna, the daughter of a late ruler of Novgorod.
Basil I of Lithuania also became the ruler of the Republic of Novgorod as Basil I of Novgorod in 1270 due to the electors liking what Basil I did in Lithuania and how he stopped the teutonic attacks, in his first acts as the ruler of Novgorod, he reformed the Republic of Novgorod and attacked the Golden Horde and allied with the Ruthenian duchies and due to that he got the trust of the other Ruthenian duchies or principalities and due to that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Novgorod's union was solidified and the people wanted the union between the two stay, aside from that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Novgorod is losing its powers in the North and the Sweden is starting to control the tribes of Karelia and Murmansk, the tribes of Karelia and Murmansk became more happy with trading with the Swedes rather than their current master, the ruler of Novgorod, Lithuania is merged with the Republic of Novogrod and formed the Duchy of Novgorod-Lithuania which is just known for the outsiders as Novgorod and due to that it is believed that the merger of Lithuania and Novgorod strengthened Novgorod and now it is Novgorod that is attacking the Teutonic Knights but they are weak on the Northern part or the areas near Sweden due to the tribes near Sweden preferring Swedish rule rather than Novgorod rule.
Anna of Novgorod gave birth to a son named Vladislav, in 1270, her son has been raised on the Orthodox faith.
Due to the preference of the tribes of Karelia and Murmansk, Sweden annexes Murmansk and Karelia completely on 1296 which were former parts of Novgorod which floated away from the control of the republic due to the destruction of Novgorod in the Mongol raids.
On 1297, Novgorod annexes Livonia and Semigalia from the Teutonic Order and makes peace with Sweden and renounces the lands acquired by Sweden in order to get an ally against the Teutonic Order.
 
Marco Polo meets Conrad I
Manfred of Sicily dies due to sickness on 1300, the death was not a surprising news for Conrad I and Frederick of Sicily replaced him as the King of Sicily.
On 1301, due to the arrival of Marco Polo, the lands in the east were known to the westerners.
Marco Polo was called in the court of Conrad I because Conrad I is interested at the new lands discovered by Marco Polo, Marco Polo came to the court of Conrad I from Venice and told him of his discoveries and Conrad is very interested about the new countries and he told him about the new countries at this point he made his son Otto the duke of Swabia.
The most known rival of the Duchy of Swabia ruled by the Hohenstauffens is the Habsburgs who are now controlling the Holy Roman Empire.
At first Conrad I was very annoyed by Marco Polo, he is very annoyed and very envious of him because he gets to know many lands more than him, Conrad I is also interested at what he is trying to say about the lands to the east to Conad I so he decided for Marco Polo to stay at the Italian court.
but Marco Polo briefly described the countries that he encountered and the countries, he said stories which were proven to be true and proven .
Irraya was an island country which is just emerging as the description of Marco Polo (but really it is just a principality at this point that had swallowed many cities surrounding it).
Nippon is mostly under the occupation of the Mongols, although there is a part of that is not under occupation, he said that the people of Nippon liked raw fish allot.
Cathay is ruled by Kublai Khan, the ruler who conquered its southern part, which they called as the Song Empire.
Conrad I lost his annoyance at Marco Polo but still Marco Polo decided to depart from the court of Conrad I and back to the republic of Venice even if Conrad I told him to stay.
Conrad I: Please stay Marco!
Marco: I prefer to stay in the Republic of Venice
Conrad I: If that is what you want, I respect it.
It is hard to be an Emperor - Secrets revealed
On the death of Manfred of Sicily on 1300, the Basileus or Emperor John Laskaris told Frederick that Bari should be ceded to the empire after his death since it is a part of secret agreement between him and Manfred which was to cede Bari to the empire after his death, Frederick decided to give up the area of Bari since it was the agreement between John and his father and that area would be treated as the dowry land of Beatrice.
Beatrice and John IV Laskaris talked about what happened to him in 1260 and how he was almost planned to be usurped by his enemies, which are the Palaiologos but it did not happened because his new care taker at that time Georgios took care of him as a regent and also treated him as a son, Georgios was quite protective of him, it is quite known that Georgios admired the father of John IV Laskaris, Theodoros who he thinks is a very good emperor.
Beatrice: He was a nice regent, right
John IV Laskaris: He was the one who stopped the usurpation of the throne, actually we did not notice the small remnant of the Latin Empire in Constantinople and I annexed it later on my reign and I think I owe my life to Georgios because he stopped the other Co-Emperor, Michael VIII Palaialogos from trying to conquer Constantinople and took control of the regency because he knew the plans of Michael VIII Palaialogos to really usurp the crown aside from that remember, Beatrice, he married Constance, your aunt right of should we call her Anna who was also one of the people who made our marriage possible.
Beatrice: huh...she was also responsible in arranging our marriage.
John IV Laskaris: yes, she is your Aunt just did not know or remember and that she .
Beatrice: You should be greatful of him due to him saving your reign and life and I think he is just doing his duties as your regent.
John IV Laskaris: Yes, I am greatful of him.
Beatrice smiles at John IV Laskaris and talks to him.
Beatrice: He also has brought you to me, he is the reason why we two are together.
Georgios: What are you two talking about..
John IV Laskaris: We are just talking how greatful I am of you and how it is hard to be the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Beatrice smiles again..
John IV Laskaris: I forgot to tell you, Andronikos, the son of Michael VIII Palaialogos escaped to the court of Conrad I of Italy.
John IV Laskaris: Frederick I of Baden gave up his rights to Verona on 1277 in exchange of the support in his rule in Austria against the Habsburgs, the Habsburgs at this moment are ruling the Holy Roman Empire but the King of Italy is now protecting Austria.
John IV Laskaris: Andronikos, the son of Michael VIII is the new ruler of Verona since 1280, I admit he had a good stint at ruling that since he has gained some parts of Istria which was disputed at the time.

Nipponese revolt
On 1300, the Nipponese in the Mongol occupied Nippon are divided into small statelets that make tribute to the Mongols while Northern Japan is ruled by the Emperor and his Shoguns and due to this the Nipponese are very much divided and the Nipponese were still devastated of the Mongol attacks to Nippon, the Nipponese were said to be quite intelligent people and even contributed to the Yuan Empire.
On the later part of 1300, many Nipponese peasants in Kyoto started a plan to revolt against their masters and the Mongol yoke, the Nipponese starting to make organized revolts against their Mongol masters and their underling lords, the Mongols and the lords under them suppressed this rebellion and due to this it would take a while until the Nipponese would revolt against their Mongolian masters.
In the meanwhile the free part of the Kingdom of Nippon gave a tribute to the Mongols in order to end Mongol raids to the Kingdom of Nippon and at this time, the Kingdom of Nippon started to become less interested in regaining the lands occupied by the Mongols.

New King of Germany
The electors felt that the Habsburgs are now weaker at this point in time due to their loss of Austria and restoring the previous dynasty would be good to the country and aside from that the Electors hated the Habsburgs due to the decay that happened in Germany, so in 1302, the German electors decided to crown Otto of Swabia in order to restore order in Germany, so Otto of Swabia was crowned as the King of Germany in 1302.

Anglo-Byzantine alliance
On June 2, 1292, Eleanor of England, Queen of Aragon gave birth to a son named Frederick, Eleanor and Constance were in contact with Manfred and John IV Laskaris and the two are thinking that a marriage between a sister of Eleanor of England and Theodoros, the son of John IV Laskaris would be a good idea, so they contacted both Edward I and John IV Laskaris for that marriage to happen.
On 1301, the Eastern Romans were looking for an alliance with the English, John IV Laskaris and Constance were able to finalize the marriage negotiations, and the nun sister of Eleanor of England, Maria of England came forward to travel from her convent to the arms of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Roman Empre, Theodoros.
Maria of England was quoted in saying
I wanted to stay being a nun rather than marry that man that I have difficulty in understanding the language!
After she said those things the retinue of Maria calmed her and told her that everything would turn out fine and the marriage would make her country have a better prestige.
the two finally met on 1302, the two were very much fond of each other but both felt strange when they first met each other, Maria of England felt strange because her future husband looked strange and Theodoros at first uneasy about the future marriage since Theodoros for a long time is single and very pious and he had no mistresses the two at first were annoyed at each other and because there is no way that the wedding could be stopped since everyone is waiting for them to be married.
Finally the two were married on October 4, 1302, the Kings of Aragon, England and the Basileus of the Eastern Roman Empire attended the wedding, the wedding improved the relations of the Eastern Roman Empire with England and also made both England and the Eastern Roman Empire allies as long as Maria of England is alive, Maria of England is very much happy because her father, Edward I is there in the wedding although she was not really happy about her marriage and prefered being a nun to marrying.

Mexica
On 1300, the Mexica were driven north by the other Nahua people to the area of the mound builders in the Turtle Island causing them rule the mound builders instead, which devastated the Mound builders due to the Mexica ruling them required sacrifices per year.

In the Plains of Irraya
In Irraya where in the Indian and Chinese merchants also pass other than Tondo this was a stop of the Indian merchants in Ma-I before they pass to China or Nippon, this town is rich and had absorb the towns around it earlier, other than that the lands of Irraya was a rich farmland, the rich farmlands of Irraya supports a large population.
The plains of Irraya are filled with Ricefields that feeds the population of Irraya at this point in time, a Confederacy centered in Irraya starts to form and Irraya at that time is just a flourishing trading city, the Confederacy of Irraya would be a place where the indian traders would stay before they go to Nippon and aside from that the indian traders would deposit goods to Irraya which Irraya would benefit on as well and the Mongol traders would also trade to Tondo via Irraya if they wanted a short route to Tondo they would stop to Irraya to get the goods from Tondo such as beeswax, cotton, true pearls, tortoise shell, medicinal betel nuts and yuta cloth, the Mongol and Chinese traders preferred to go to Tondo rather than Irraya because it is too inland and the mouth of Bannag river is not that navigable compared to the Bay of Tondo near Tondo but the Indian and Nipponese prefer to trade in this place rather than on another part of Ma-I due to its stable location compared to Tondo which can be easily raided by neighboring countries and for that reason Tondo was not frequently visited by traders from India and Nippon, the Koreans are also interested in trading in Irraya, Irraya was a more stable trading city compared to Tondo which is one of the reasons why it is prefered by some traders that visit Ma-I and aside from that the people of Irraya were very welcoming to the traders due to them enjoying their wealth and prosperity which is brought about by their city being in a river valley, the trade just improved the wealth that it already has and for this reason the other cities in Ma-I aside from Tondo like Lingayen are envious if Irraya which is the second trading city in Ma-I but it is not a trading port as well like Tondo but just a trading city since the port where the ships enter is Kamalanyugan which is quite undeveloped but has a large population which is very dependent on Irraya.
The Confederacy of Irraya started to form because of the trade and food dependency of the nearby towns of Irraya, the area around Irraya is very rich in farmland, the Kingdoms of Kaboloan, Lagawe and Tondo would envy Irraya, when the Confederacy of Irraya was starting to form some Nipponese migrated there too, the people of the Confederacy of Irraya are very happy because of the traders that always come to Irraya, the port town of Kamalanyugan serving as the entrance to Irraya also started to form as well, the small port town of Kamalanyugan is just an annoying village at the mouth of Bannag river leading to the town of Irraya the center of the Confederacy of Irraya, the small port town of Kamalanyugan looked very undeveloped when it is looked into the sea and the only one that really developed at that time is Irraya but it willl take time for Kamalanyugan to develop because Irraya overshadows it, although it is a port, the people of Kamalanyugan were also dependent to Irraya due its supply of Rice which complements Kamalanyugan's food supply because it cannot produce enough food for its own expanding population that had already benefited from the trade in Irraya, Kamalanyugan is still an insignificant town on the mouth of Bannag river that is used by the traders to come to Irraya which is where the traders really would want to go and the people just pass by Kamalanyugan to go to Irraya.

The Princess of Italy or the Return of the Ivrea
On 1306, Prince Frederick of Italy, the other son of Conrad I of Italy dies due to a disease, leaving behind a daughter named Isabella(b. June 4,1295), his daughter to Fennena of Kuyavia and due to that many royal are trying to woo her to marry their dynasty even the King of Sicily, Frederick I of Sicily wants her to marry his son, Giorgio(b. 1292) in order to unite Italy, the other people who want to woo her into marrying one of their sons included the King of France Philip III and the son of pope Clementine I, Lissander , which never worked because Conrad I did not accept what he wants which is to marry her to his spare son, Conrad I did not like any Capetians ruling Italy.
But Conrad I has another plan and that is to marry Ferdinand of Castile, the son of Infante Sancho of Castile, the marriage plan really looked good to him since he believes Northern Italians and Castillans are of the same langauge and culture and they would easily learn to love each other, Conrad I of Italy was very shrewd about his dynastic marriage and he thinks that this is for the best of his grand daughter, Isabella, although the Italians nobles are also quite anxious of the marriage plans of Isabella, however, Isabella was not keen of the marriage match because she believes that Frederick of Castile is an oportunist who wants to gain the Italian throne but she changed her mind when she actually met Frederick of Castile.
Frederick of Castile visited the Kingdom of Italy on 1307, in order to see Isabella of Italy.

Conrad I sighed.
Conrad I said on his sigh
“Now the De Ivreas have returned to Northern Italy, their home.”
Frederick of Castile was very happy on how he was recieved on Italy, he said to Conrad I of Italy that he would take care of his Grand Daughter and his Kingdom of Italy.
Frederick of Castile said to Conrad I of Italy that he would take care of the Kingdom of Italy because he likes being a King and a King should take care of his own subjects.
Conrad I of Italy said
“You look very happy on marrying my Grand daughter because of the throne right?”
Frederick of Castile said
“Yes, my majesty.”
Conrad I of Italy said
“There will be difficulties you will face if you rule Italy.”
Frederick of Castile said
“That would be fine to me.”
Conrad I of Italy said
“You are fit to be the future King! After me but first you will need to marry my Grand Daughter!”
Frederick of Castile said
“Of course I know that.”
Conrad I of Italy finally made the betrothal between Frederick of Castile and Isabella of Italy, their marriage would take a while to actually take place.

Occitan Renaissença and Dante
On 1301, an Occitan Poet named Sebastian from made the King of England, Edward I very happy due to his his poems since it reminded him of his late wife, Eleanor of Castile since Sebastian made a poem about Eleanor of Castile, Edward I gave Sebastian a tribute and he gave him a very nice house in his hometown in Guyenne, the people of Guyenne were happy of the recognition given to him by the King of England, many Occitan poets appeared in Guyenne in France the Occitan poets in Provence gain popularity again as well as those Occitan Poets in Duchy of Savoy in Italy which were supported by King Conrad I of Italy and the Count of Savoy, Amadeus V, due to the prestige of the people of Guyenne, the Occitan language became generally known as the Aquitainian Language or Guyenese/Guianesa.
On the courts of Pope Clementine I, the Occitan Poets gained prestige as well because they created poetry that some of it depicted Pope Clementine I as a man that should be emulated and because of that Pope Clementine got a staff of loyal poets to him.
On 1308, Dante Alighieri of Tuscany or Dante Aligueri decided to start writing his novel, Divina Comedia which he decided that it will be written in the Aquitainian Language of Southern France which would make Occitan or Aquitainian a more popular language, the book of Dante Alighieri is about the people who are dead that are in Hell and in Heaven now.
The Book Divina Comedia is divided into three chapters which are L'infern Lo Purgatori, Lo Paradis in English it is Hell, Purgatory and Paradise.
Here are the interesting parts of the book Divina Comedia(Those that were different from OTL)
In the second circle of Hell are those overcome by lust. Dante condemns these "carnal malefactors" for letting their appetites sway their reason. They are the first ones to be truly punished in Hell. These souls are blown back and forth by the terrible winds of a violent storm, without rest. This symbolizes the power of lust to blow one about needlessly and aimlessly.
In this circle, Dante sees Semiramis, Dido, Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Achilles, Paris, Tristan, and many others who were overcome by sensual love during their life.
Dante meets Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Henry II in the second circle of hell they talked about of the wrong marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry II and her relationship with the ruler of Antioch, it is said in the book that Eleanor of Aquitaine felt remorse at what happened and her marriage to Henry II and her divorce from Louis VII, her divorce was valid but her marriage to Henry II was not valid on the eyes of god.
In the Ninth Circle of Hell he meets Mordred, Judas and King John, who killed his nephew Arthur and betrayed his father many times, in this part of hell, King John is tormented by Arthur of Brittany in the Ninth Circle of Hell due to what happened to his sister, Eleanor of Brittany.
In Heaven, Dante meets his friend Beatrice and the Saints which included Saint Louis and his wife Margaret of Provence who is believed to have lived a virtuous life while she was living.
Divina Comedia was said to be one of the shining examples of Literary Aquitainian which still know to this day and still popular, the Book Divina Comedia was finished by Dante on the year of his death on 1321, the book was spread during the advent of printing which happened in later centuries but this book was frequently copied or translated by scribes by the nobles who wanted a copy of the book.

Rebellion against the Queen
Isabella of Italy marries Infante Fernando of Castile and at 1311, Conrad I of Italy unconveniently dies and Infante Fernando becomes the King of Italy as Ferdinand I of Italy which causes a rebellion in Central Italy against King Fernando, which the Eastern Roman Empire takes advantage of and they send agents of discord against the rulers of the Kingdom of Italy because that would destroy the Kingdom inside out, however Northern Italy and its duchies and the lombard league are loyal to the new King of Italy although the Central Italian States are swinging on their loyalty and some really like to join the Byzantine Empire but the people who live in Latium and Abruzzi and the current pope, Clementine I are close to Isabella of Italy and her grandfather so any attempts by the Eastern Roman Empire to destroy the Kingdom of Italy had been stopped because the people living in Royal Central Italy are loyal to the Kingdom of Italy, however, rebellions sparked in the Central Italian duchies against Ferdinand I of Italy but these were quelled later on.
The County of Nice was made the dowry of Margaret of France, the youngest daughter of Philip IV of France and Joan in her marriage to the Count of Savoy Aymon I on 1311, Nice was ceded due to the people of Nice not liking being a part of the French fief of Provence and also to weaken the Republic of Genoa completely which the Kingdom of Italy and France views as a thorn on their side, and also Philip II of France helped Aymon I to annex the Republic of Genoa completely, however on 1312, Guilhem Belibaste, a Cathar who is already wanted in France in order to avoid persecution later decided to go to the County of Savoy and the Kingdom of Italy and this caused a problem to the relation of France and Italy and caused some discord between France and Italy, but later Guilhem Belibaste was expelled from Savoy and the Kingdom of Italy itself because of the request of the King of France and Guilhem Belibaste decided to go the Eastern Roman Empire where it would be easy to hide but for how long he will hide in the Eastern Roman Empire.
Isabella of Italy gives birth to a son named Conrad on June 4, 1312.

Anglo-Aragonese Alliance
Since the marriage of Eleanor of England to Alfonso III of Aragon, Aragon became an ally of England, the marriage meant an alliance, the new line of Kings of Aragon are also allied with England and this means that again it will be a head ache to France because Navarre which is now in union with France has a border with Aragon and that it's situation would be something that Aragon would be something to exploit. The Prince of Aquitaine and duke of Cornwall, Alphonse visited Aragon to meet his brother in law in Aragon and also this would also mean that the King of Aragon becomes a faithful ally to England.
A Kingdom of Aragon that is resurgent is a bad luck to France and a headache and due to the Occitan resurgence the language of the Kingdom of Aragon, which is called Occitan or Aquitainian but there it is called as Catalonian or Catalan, this meant that the Kingdom of Aragon and the South of France have stronger links and stronger ties again, the Occitan resurgence strengthened the links of Occitan with Catalan and aside from that the courts of the Kingdom of Aragon is filled with Occitan poets.
On 1300 Alfonso III of Aragon passed reforms in the Kingdom of Aragon which improved the economic situation of the Kingdom of Aragon, Alfonso III of Aragon is loved by people of Aragon as well as his wife, Eleanor of England, the marriage was an unpopular choice at first but she was very kind and fair and very beloved queen so the people learned to love her as their Queen.
The reforms made by Aragon benefited the people of Aragon alot that it made Aragon a Meditereanean power again and also restored the old glory of Aragon, Eleanor of England and Alfonso III raised their son James as a good ruler, however this also meant that he will be an excelent ruler and would try to do the best for his own country and he would have the advantage due to the alliance of England with Aragon and the Byzantine Empire and this alliance would make a network of this three allied countries.

Treaty on England and Aquitaine and its effect on France
On 1310, a treaty was made for the Duchy of Aquitaine in Paris by Prince Alphonse and Maria of Brabant which is named the treaty of Angouleme and according to that treaty, Angouleme, Perigord and Limotges would be now under Aquitaine while the Duke of Aquitaine and the King of England would give up their claims to the other Angevin dominions and the other provision of that treaty is that Aquitaine and England would split and no longer in Personal Union in the next generation, so Isabella and Edward would only rule Aquitaine as a French fief while England would be united with Scotland ruled by Margaret and Edward after the death of Alphonse I of England and Maria of Brabant, this treaty would end the old problem of Aquitaine for England and due to that Aquitaine would be a French vassal and not in personal union with England and because of this England will lose all of its trade of wine from Bordeux after the death of Alphonse I of England but since England is shifting its focus north the loss of Aquitaine would not really effect England and Aquitaine would just be a pain for England to retain.
The nobles of England accepted the treaty because they believe it will restore the focus of the ruler of England on England only and it will only focus on the welfare of the people of England rather than the people on the other side of the Channel and aside from that, England and Scotland would be on a personal union which would strengthen the Kingdom England and the conflicts with the Kingdom of France would had been ended completely due to what Alphonse I of England did.
The impending transfer of Aquitaine would help in the renaissenca of Renaissença of the Aquitainian language due to it being an autonomous vassal of France again and Alphonse I of England gave his son the complete control over Aquitaine before passing it as a fief to France after his death since according to the treaty his son would rule Aquitaine while his brother would rule both Scotland and England after his death.
In the mean time Anna Commena gives birth to a son named Louis, the Infante of Navarre and Future King of France on June 4, 1310.

The Shin Dynasty
On the early 1300, Irraya became a center of confederation of towns known as Irraya and basically a state and it is controlling all sides of the Mahabe Pagotan mountain range and all of the Bannag River Valley, this was due to the control of Irraya on the trade in Mahabe Pagotan and of the Bannag River Valley, although there were competing states like Kaboloan and Tondo and there were Nipponese refugees who were able to escape to Irraya as well.
On the meanwhile in the south of Cathay on 1305, on the south of Yangtze, there is a peasants rebellion which will crush the Mongol Forces and Kublai Khan can only do nothing to defeat it, this means that the Mongols are now weakening at this point on the Southern part of the Mongolian Empire and aside from that the Tibetans also did not like the Mongolians and also won their freedom from the Yoke of the Mongols.
The leader of the revolt against the Yuan Dynasty's name is Shin Tauzu who wanted to end the opression of the Han people by the Mongols. Shin Tauzu had good charisma and charm that the people that were against the Mongol rule in Southern China.
Later on 1306, it was revealed that Shin Tauzu is a son of Kublai Khan to his mistresses but Shin Tauzu chose to adopt his mother's culture instead because he believed that the Chinese people needed his help and that it is his mission in life to free the opressed Chinese people. Shin Tauzu was very happy that the people supported him in what he wanted.
On 1308, Shin Tauzu established the Shin Dynasty of Zhongguo, however the Shin Dynasty is only controling the South of Yangtze and they would need to survive the Mongols and that is if they really want to survive the scourge of god, the Mongols and give its dynasty the Mandate of heaven.
Meanwhile in the country of the Nippon in the area conquered by the Mongols the fragmented countries subservient to the Mongols have unified into one vassal state of the Mongols named Izumo and it is very loyal to the Mongols that it has been very much attached to the Mongols and their subservience to the Mongols have been strengthened while the country East of Izumo named Nihon still wanted to regain the territories of Izumo, however it is too late for that to happen since the people of Izumo preferred the rule of Izumo.

A Journey to the Unknown
On 1288, there was a rebellion in the Majapahit Empire that finally crushed Sri Vijaya completely and because Majapahit won but there are many Sri Vijayan influenced states were later established such as Irraya, Tondo, Melaka and Sulu and those countries would carry on the Sri Vijayan legacy.
A man from the revolt decided to migrate to a place where in they can possibly continue their struggle against the Majapahit and restore their lands again and he decided too look into the ocean. that man decided that the possible land on the other side of the ocean would be a perfect land for them to restore the Glory of the Sri Vijayan empire and perhaps later restore the rule of Sri Vijaya to the lands of the Sri Vijayan Empire.
The man has already convinced some people that they can reestablish the Sri Vijayan state on the other side of the sea and regain their former land, and because of that, that man was able to sail south with those people and establish a colony in the continent in the land on the other side of the Indian Ocean.
Due to the person leading the Sri Vijayan survivors to a new land, the survivors found a place to hide..they tried to farm rice but it did not work and instead they decided that they will farm another crop and they decided to farm Taro.
There were other concerns about the land and it is the Natives of the new land south of the Indian Ocean and they were quite hostile but the new settlers dealt with them by being kind to the natives and even intermarrying them.
The Settlers brought with them Hinduism to the Native Aboriginals which is similar to their ancestral religion. Hinduism influenced the religion of the Native Aboriginals of this new land just discovered and aside from that the Native Aboriginals initially contacted by the settlers had been assimilated by the settlers on 1300 due to mass intermarriage between the settlers and the aborigines and this meant that the settlers also increased their population which became roughly 5000 people at 1300 CE but the settlers including the people who had been assimilated so most of them decided to move into a more fertile land where in they can farm the crops they used farm before because the colonizers discovered a better land in this new continent( the OTL Swan river) so most of the settlers left for that are that was discovered and were later able to flourish and also plant the food they ate which is rice but that would not happen for so long because Rice cannot adapt to that area but those that decided to stay are the people who decided to stick to Taro and other Root Crops which allowed them to thrive in the hostile environment where in they live and later on they doubled their population to about 2000 on 1305 which made them able to repopulate the mostly abandoned settlement in the area where the settlers firs.
On 1300, the people were complaining that they cannot farm like in their homeland because the fertile lands for rice cannot be fertile anymore that the people were hysterical but in order to survive they needed to plant tubers instead of the rice that they had always eaten so they reverted to planting Taro again. There are new batches of people who arrived to the new land down under who would also shift to Taro and other local crops as well, the people also hunted the Standing Deer as food which they started to domesticate as a domesticated animal but the Standing deer was very difficult to tame for the settlers but they were able to at least tame some.
The New Settlers arrived from Java due to the people being curious about the rumor of a man that led people to settle in a land in the other side of the Indian Ocean.
The new domesticated animal, the Standing Deer was very tasty and they decided to propagate it via animal husbandry and pastoralism, the Standing Deer became the staple meat in the Suvarnadipan cuisine.
The people of the new continent call their land as Suvarnadvipa because of the dunes of the desert of the continent are colored like gold.

Italian-Roman War over Central Italy.
On Central Italy after Isabella gave birth to her son, the Principates in Tuscany and Urbino threatened to ask for annexation to the Eastern Roman Empire due to Isabella and her husband prioritizing Lombardy and appeasing their Vassal, Savoy.
The son of the Basileus of the Eastern Roman Empire, Alexios was invited to the Central Italy in order to talk with the principates, the princes of Central Italy were asking for annexation to an Eastern Roman Vassal, the real ambition of Theodoros is to establish the Kingdom of Central Italy or Toscania as he called it which matched what the princes of Central Italy wanted and it is that to get rid of the rule of the D'Ivreas in Central Italy.
On 1313 just after Isabella gave birth to her son the Republics of Tuscany made a revolt again against the Castilian dynasty ruling the Kingdom of Italy which the Republics of Central Italy found very opressive and also there is the support of the Eastern Roman Empire which wants to carve a fief from the Kingdom of Italy. The Kingdom of Italy would not give up the land and would try to quel the revolt, however the rebels dragged the Eastern Roman Empire to the revolt. Pope Clementine I was paranoid and decided to pack his bags to Avinhon in order to avoid the impending war between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Italy. Castile and France supported the Kingdom of Italy against the Eastern Romans in this war while England and Aragon supported the Eastern Romans in this war.
The Eastern Roman, and English troops both arrived in the Kingdom of Italy and supported the rebels from Central Italy which meant a more stronger revolt that the people from Central Italy supported the Eastern Romans which meant that the troops from Italy would have a hard tme battling the Eastern Rome and trying to quell the rebellion.
The Eastern Roman troops which included the Sicilian troops were many and were able to overwhelm the troops of the Kingdom of Italy, however, the troops were able to overwhelm the Italian troops but the French and Castillan troops arrived and they were able to make a temporary victory..however..the Aragonese and English troops arrived and were able to surprise the French and Castillan troops and join the Eastern Roman troops.
The Eastern Roman Empire with the English and Aragonese support were able to win Central Italy as the new fief of the Eastern Roman Empire which Alexios ruled as Toscania and due to that loss a treaty on 1315 was made to establish peace and according to this treaty, Tuscany, Lazio, Urbino and Abruzzi should be given to Alexios, the chosen overlord of the Central Italians.

The Revival of Hungary
Euphemia of Kuyavia marries Ladislaus IV the Cuman of Hungary on 1286, Euphemia of Kuyavia gives birth to a son named Ladislaus who would reach maturity on 1302.
Prince Ladislaus of Hungary was very handsome and beloved by the people of Hungary, Magyars, the Slovaks and the Romans/Vlachs who lived in Hungary, the first thing he did when he reached his majority is to marry an Eastern Roman Princess named Anna Laskarina.
The marriage of Anna Laskarina and Prince Ladislaus brought alot of benefits to Hungary and it included an Eastern Roman alliance of Hungary to the other countries of the Eastern Roman Empire and this also meant another thing and it is that Hungary can gain more in hostile wars against its hostile neighbours like the Cumans due to the help of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Anna Laskarina gives birth to a son on 1305, named Louis, which made Prince Ladislaus very happy and because of this the connection between the Eastern Roman Empire and Hungary became stronger and stronger but still attacked by the Mongols but at this time the mongols are starting to weaken because of the rebellion in the South of Cathay and the establishment of the Shin Dynasty on the south of Yangtze which distracted the Mongols from cooperating with each other and aside from that due to the enemies of the Mongols who wanted to avenge themselves from the destruction that the mongols had given them.
The alliance with Hungary was one of the reason why the Eastern Roman Empire was able to defeat the Sultanate of Rum and also because of that the Sultanate of Rum is now just a rump state that would not evolve into a superpower and now the Eastern Roman Empire has regained its prestige and power on 1310 thanks to Sicily and Hungary which provided armies for the Eastern Roman Empire when it was battling the Turks and aside from that the Hungarians are now a contender for power in Eastern Europe, however, Poland has been divided mainly into two countries, Prussia and Vistulia, with the stray duchies of Kuyavia and Mazovia.

The Confiscation of Liguria
On 1316, after the loss of Central Italy to the Eastern Romans, the County of Savoy harbored the fugitive Guilhem Belibasta again and due to this Isabella of Italy is furious of Amadeus V and her adviser, Lissander, the son of the pope told Isabella I of Italy to confiscate Liguria from Amadeus V, the Dukes of Parma and Modena were also telling her to do this and because of this , Isabella I of Italy is furious to confiscate Liguria from Amadeus V, her husband, Ferdinando, the King-Consort of Isabella wants to have Liguria as well so they deviced a plan to confiscate Liguria from Savoy, something that Amadeus did not learn earlier and it caused him the loss of Liguria completely which narrowed the sea shore of Savoy.
At this time, Savoy became more Aquitainian and lost its French or Burgundian character because of the influence of Aquitainian poets in Northern Italy and its proximity of Savoy to France, the Oil like dialects in Savoy gradually assimilated to Aquitainian due to the influence of the Aquitainian Troubadors and Aquitainian Poets and the Aquitainians from the Cathar crusade that fled to Savoy but the Northern Italian or Lombardic dialects of Piedmont are unaffected and aside from that the Aquitainian speakers in Poitou and Saintonge were able to recover their speakers and able to dillute the Oil speakers and at this point even parts of the French Speaking Brittany are influenced by Aquitainian and also at this time Dante is also writing his book Divina Comedia in Aquitainian.
The King and Queen of Italy declared war against Savoy because of them harboring Belibaste but really it is a justification for the warring in order for Genoa to be confiscated from Savoy, later knowing the plans of the King and Queen Amadeus would never give it up without a fight so a civil war against the County of Savoy started in the Kingdom of Italy, the civil war between the County of Savoy and the Kingdom of Italy was bloody and short but France did not intervene because both sides are allies with France, so the conflict did not go outside of the country but the seizure or the confiscation of Liguria was a difficult thing to do for the Kingdom of Italy but they were able to confiscate that land and also had Guilhem Belibaste beheaded as a way to please France.
It was on 1317 when the civil war ended and Liguria was now a part of the Royal Demesne of the Kingdom of Italy which changed its name at this point as the Kingdom of Lombardy known as Reino Lombarda in its native language, because Isabella of Italy decided that this name fits the Kingdom because it has lost Central Italy already.

Roman Recovery of North Africa and the Annihilation of Rum
On the same time as the annexation of Central Italy as a dominion on 1316, the Eastern Roman Emperor, the old John Laskaris had ambitions in Tunisia and wanted to annex lands in Tunisia.
These were believed to be the last accomplishment of the old king as the Byzantine Emperor and these were two things the annihilation of Rum and recovery of North Africa.
On 1315, Rum was menacing again the border lands of the Roman held Anatolia causing the Sicilian and Hungarian forces to help the Eastern Roman Empire and one of the fighters or soldiers that fought in this war is Manfredi, the son of the King of Sicily who wanted to help the Eastern Roman Empire in the end the Sultanate of Rum was annexed due to the power of the Eastern Roman Empire soldiers and the help of Hungary and Sicily and the whole of Anatolia is under the dominion of the Eastern Roman Empire, there, Manfredi met an Armenian woman who he later married but the Eastern Romans had the second war in mind and it is the annexation of Tunisia.
The annexation of Tunisia is not an overnight plan because it needed careful planning out but it still happened.
The Eastern Roman Empire made a crusade against the Eastern Romans with the help of the Sicilians and Hungarians, the troops of the Eastern Roman Empire occupied the coastal towns causing the Almohads to react and retaliate but the Almohads at this point in time loss their power in the Meditereanean.
The Eastern Roman Empire had already annexed Tunisia on 1317 completely due to the Almohads losing the battle of Tripoli, this was because of the Sicilian help but also because Toscania was located in Italy and it would reinforce the troops of the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Pope at this point is now in France and was quite laughing in the starting loss of the Almohads which meant that the Castillans would be successful in their reconquista but it meant the opposite and the Almohads had turned their focus to Iberia and Mali which meant that the Castillans would have a hard time and the reconquista is now at halt because the Almohads defended Granada but the Portuguese are able to defend themselves and their territory.
On the end of the year 1317, John Laskaris dies and another emperor, the son of John Laskaris, Theodoros who is declared as Basileus Theodoros III Laskaris of the Eastern Roman Empire. The fate of the powerful Eastern Roman Empire rests on two middle aged men, Alexios Laskaris(Alessio di Toscania) and Theodoros III Laskaris, the two eldest sons of the late John Laskaris and Beatrice of Sicily.

Majapahit conquest of Suvarnadipa and the tribute of Irraya to the Majapahit
On 1315, the ruler of Majapahit at that time saw the new land where in the refugees of Sri Vijaya migrated to and he said that..
"I want to expand my realm's borders"
The ruler of Majapahit and his troops encountered storms before passing to Suvarnadipa, however they were able to land and see what is actually happening on Suvarnadipa and Suvarnadipa is nothing but an arrid land with desert and sparsely populated, he was able to see settlers on the coasts, he was able to pacify and conquer some settlements in Suvarnadipa.
The submission of settlements in Suvarnadipa was a very easy task to the current ruler of Majapahit at that time...however it was very difficult to maintain the rule there without it being a fief so a man was assigned to rule it as a vassal of the Majapahit empire, the ruler was very happy of his own conquest and although the conquest was hard but still he felt no remorse about what has happened and the conquest is just nothing to him and he wanted to have more vassals and subordinates, the people of Majapahit really wanted more living space and for that reason, the land of Suvarnadipa and Madagascar are places where the people that migrated from Majapahit go to.
But still there are places in the Majapahit area that are still unsettled and one of those areas are the hilly areas and the inner areas of Borneo, those areas are not settled yet although certain tribes use it as their hunting grounds and it caused the loss of some species and some biodiversity in Borneo until gold was discovered in Borneo which boomed the mining industry of Borneo and improved the trading in Majapahit and the Majpahit were able to send settlers to the interior of Borneo to extract gold from its interior as well to Suvarnadipa where it is very difficult to settle and they need to switch to tubers to survive but the settlers sent to Borneo and Suvarnadipa were able to survive and adapt, however, the areas remain majorly hostile to the settlers that migrated to Borneo and Suvarnadipa.
Suvarnadipa remains as a wasteland and devoid of good resources and Borneo is a land rich of resources and plenty of vegetation.
The people of Irraya learned about the richness of Majapahit and the discovery of Suvarnadipa, so they gave some tribute to the ruler of Majapahit, the tribute was made by having some Irrayans go to the center of Majapahit in Java where they were able to meet the current ruler of Majapahit.
The Irrayans who were sent from Irraya to make tribute gave the best things in Irraya such as rice and pots, the ruler of Majapahit was happy that Irraya was able to make such tribute to Majapahit.
The people of Irraya heard what the ruler of Majapahit said about the tribute of the Irrayans to the ruler of Majapahit and it made them very happy and a network of Trade from Irraya to Suvarnadipa was made which made the Majapahit rich but the trade was just the begining although Madagascar is still not directly connected to this trading network.
In China, the land of Suvarnadipa was also heard as a promised land which is settled by the people from Majapahit, however, the Chinese did not make such a fuss over that land, it was only the Majapahitans that really made that fuss but they are also interested in the land of Suvarnadipa.

A marriage between two countries
In Bohemia Anna gives birth to a daughter named Kunigunde of Bohemia on June 4, 1314, named after her husband's mother, the other sister of Anna of Bohemia is Elisabeth of Bohemia who is now married to John of Luxembourg who is vying for the control of Bohemia, Kunigunde of Bohemia was born very frail and very sickly but a few days after she was born she became very lively, however many trials would be encountered on her life, her brother is groomed to be a ruler while she herself would be groomed to be the wife of a ruler, she wondered when she was a 10 year old on 1324, would she married to a good man, she prayed for a time that she would be married to some one responsible and nice.
Many suitors wanted to get the hand of Kunigunde and one of them were the son of Henry of Prussia, but his attempt was refused, there were many other offers of marriage for Kunigunde of Bohemia but it was the French marriage to Prince Louis of France and Navarre who is the future King of France, the betrothal was very much preferred by her parents and her parents Premysl Ottokar II of Bohemia and Anna of Bohemia were excited about the union between Kunigunde and Prince Louis of France, whose representatives are very good and were entertained by the King of Bohemia.
It was very hard for Kunigunde to go to France due to the risks of being kidnapped by a German Princes, however her retinue were very protective of her but there were attempts to kidnap her and use her against her parent's kingdom, money was given to Kunigunde as her dowry on her marriage to the Crown Prince of France.
Kunigunde changed her name to Claude once she entered the french court on 1326, the marriage was attended by the retinue of Claude who reports what happened to her to Claude's parents, the marriage was also visited by the uncle of Claude, John of Luxembourg and Elisabeth...the retinue of Claude came back to Bohemia to report what happened to Claude/Kunigunde...Premysl Ottokar II and Anna of Bohemia learned about the name change of Kunigunde to Claude and Anna of Bohemia told the returned retinue that the change of name of her daughter was expected because she believed her name unsuitable for a French Queen.
