May 22 – The Kings
John of England and
Philip II of France, sign a peace treaty at
Le Goulet, an island in the middle of the
Seine River, near
Vernon in
Normandy. The agreement recognizes John as overlord of most of the English owned lands in France, but John has to give Philip the lands of Norman
Vexin and
Évreux and a large sum of money (some 20,000 marks) – a "relief" payment for recognition of John's sovereignty of
Brittany.[2]
Temüjin (or Genghis Khan) manages to unite about half the feuding
Mongol clans under his leadership. He delegates authority based on skill and loyalty, rather than tribal affiliation or family. The main rivals of the
Mongol confederation are the
Naimans to the west, the
Merkits to the north, the
Tanguts to the south and the
Jin Dynasty (or Great Jin) to the east.[5]
