This page is a member of the Uncyclopedia Timeline. If an event isn't listed in the timeline, it most likely happened.

Represented here are the time periods from donkey ages ago to a nice round number in the scheme of things.




In the 1300s, people look forward to Christmas visits by Naked Santa, who brings them games and other gifts.

The 13th century includes the years 1301 to 1400.

Overview[edit]

The political landscape changes as the Hundred Years' War between France and England blows hot and cold as the two separate into French food lovers and Indian food lovers. The Golden Horde loses its foothold in Eastern Europe and gets the boot in China, though Timur the Lame (Tamerlane) would begin a resurgence later in the century.

The century is marked by the Black Death, dancing epidemics and insanity in kings in Europe, while saddle sores would finally catch up to Mongol soldiers. It will get people thinking about good medical plans and seeking high-paying jobs as gravediggers.

Chronicle of events[edit]

1301 to 1310[edit]

Buskers are a common sight at castle gates but travelers would quickly grow weary of Greensleeves being sung over and over.

  • 1314Battle of Bannockburn. Stubborn Scots and English knock each other about for two days. Tempestuous English King Edward II criticizes many of his nobles for cowardice whilst they are actually being cautious. Being chivalrous as all get out, each noble then charges in individually to prove his mettle and gets axed or speared for his show-and-tell. Disturbed to see their leaders gone, the morale of the English army melts away with aggressive Scots attacking them with pikes or large salmon. Retreat turns into rout, clogging the M74.[7]

  • 1316 – Election of Jacques Duèze as Pope John XXII. Looking old and frail with a hacking cough, Jacques asks the cardinals to 'make a sick old man happy for a few weeks before I see Jesus'. They elect him. Once he is proclaimed pope, John XXII is like a man re-born and lives on for another 20 years.
  • 1316 – King Jean I of France is born. He is proclaimed king, baptised, crowned, washed, scrubbed and then dies after four days. What a life.
  • 1318 – Berwick-on-Twee is captured by the Scots who say it was a 'dainty, quaint occupation'. Even its residents don't get very excited about their new overlords.
  • 1320Red Bull is first brewed by Austrian Benedictines. The energy drink increases work created in a scripitorium from two fully illustrated bibles a year to six.

That ruler offers help to take back Jerusalem and the holy places from the Turks, all for just 10,000 gold pieces. A wary pope sends a reply asking the sender if he could identify himself as a true Christian by naming the Son of God and if he could also provide a reference. The pope is delighted when he receives the reply 'Jesus Christ!! U mother fugger! Send the cash.', clear confirmation that John is Christian and knows banker Jakob Fugger's mother Ulrika. The monies are duly sent by caravan to Prester John, then on pilgrimage in Nigeria.[9]

Europeans would have cannons at about the same time, using the wheeled weapons to ram castle doors until they finally discover the instruction books that come with them.
  • 1327 – King Edward II of England plays poker and loses his arse.[11]
  • 1328 – Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV arrives in Rome with an army. He wants a full blown imperial coronation by Pope John XXII.

  • 1349Black Metal plague enters Norway. Quorthon has a good day.[15]
  • 1350 – The Black Death declared to be officially over. Everyone can come out and kiss each other again.

~ King Peter of Castile to King Peter of Aragon

  • 1351 – First international Rugby Union match between France and England. Known as the Battle of the Thirties, two sides with 30 players a side attack each other with swords, knives, axes and big balls on chains. The French claim victory, having only six dead compared to the nine Englishmen who perished that day. A replay is requested and agreed but with only 15 a side to make it easier to follow the game.
  • 1354 – The Turks take Gallipoli from the Greeks. First time Europeans experience genuine kebabs.
  • 1355 – The St. Scholastica Day Riot in Oxford occurs when a student orders the cheapest beer possible, Budweiser. He actually drinks it and then complains, starting a battle with the barkeep and townspeople. It is unknown if the student dies from fighting or from the so-called beer.[16]
  • 1356Battle of Poitiers. The English send a 50 foot tall Sidney Poitier to fight the French 18 meter tall anti-Sidney Poitier. They both disappear in a brilliant flash once they touch swords. So once again, it comes down to English longbow archers, though it is disputed today whether their arrows were effective against heavy armor except to deliver a pleasing thunk. Nonetheless, their arrows work a treat on French cavalry horses and unarmored foot soldiers. It is another resounding English victory. French King Jean II the Good Hostage is taken prisoner by the Knight Formerly Known as the Black Prince.[17]
  • 1356 – King Peter of Castile goes to war against King Peter of Aragon. The former acquires the nicknames Peter the Cruel and Peter the Just, but most historians compromise and call him Just Cruel.[18].]]
Étienne Marcel ('Marcel Le Wave').

  • 1358 – Étienne Marcel ('Marcel Le Wave') leads the first 'Gilet Jaunes' (Yellow Jackets) rebellion in France against the elites. With his distinctive hairstyle, Marcel and his ally King Charles the Bad of Navarre at first do well but the rebellion is broken when the French Riot Knights suppress the rebels with laughing gas[19]. Marcel dies and his hairstyle is banned for the next six hundred years. Charles escapes to become even more badder and madder (see entry for 1387).
  • 1360 – French forces attack Winchelsea on the English coast in an attempt to rescue King Jean II the Good Distance Away.
  • 1360 – French Dauphin Charles V finally raises enough cash and signs the Treaty of Brétigny to ransom dear old Dad and to concede a chunk of France back to the English. In this era, a treaty really means time to re-arm and time to retax the peasants to pay for it.
Rookie peasants would be sent on snipe hunts, to the amusement of all.

1361 to 1370[edit]

  • 1369 – King Peter the Cruel of Castile is killed by his half-bastard brother Henry who stabs him in the face. So who was the more cruel?
  • 1369 – Byzantine Emperor John V is jailed for trying to cash dud travellers' cheques in Venice. John's new friend Pope Urban V supplies bail but first the Greek must 'go Catholic' to stay out of prison. John agrees and then high tails it out of Italy.
  • 1370Battle of Rudau. Teutonic Knights continue to attack pagan Lithuania in order to baptise them whilst they are dead. Lithuanians launch a retaliatory strike but fail due to a lack of metallic clothing.

  • 1373 – Teh start of the dyslexic 1337 era.

In the meantime, rats inside the building pass important legislation. They authorise the Privy council to buy a mop and bucket, discuss enabling Salic law and settle on replacements for several king's councillors. They are able to do this without raising new taxes. This done, the rats go back to normal business and piss all over the benches and floors.
  • 1376 – Death of England's only cool dude. The Black Prince meets his maker.
  • 1377 – Pope Gregory XI denounces critic John Wycliffe who had earlier suggested replacing him with a newt.
  • 1377 – King Edward III of England dies. His last words are 'is the Hundred Years' War finished yet?'
  • 1378 – Newly elected Pope Urban VI is declared a bad one by cardinals, ironically being just the fellow about which John Wycliffe warned. After being on his high horse for months, Urban falls off a mule but fails to excommunicate the mule before dying.

~ Wat Tyler to the mayor of London

  • 1381The Peasant's Revolt rolls through England ignited by a tax collector trying to collect a poll tax levied by Lady Margaret of Thatcher. Thousands of armed peasants march on London to air their grievances to King Richard II who, with the bravado and the squeaky voice of the 14 year old he is, agrees to meet them in person. Peasant leader Wat Tyler[21] is pulled off his horse and killed by the mayor of London, followed by the audible click of the king's eyeroll heard by all. Richard deftly defuses the situation by leading the mob away from the scene and grants pardons to all but the leaders. His charisma works a treat, though his successor Richard III would later find at Bosworth Field that it only works with humans and not horses.
  • 1382 – As predicted by pundits [22], rioting ensues in Paris and elsewhere over taxes needed to support the Hundred Years' War.
  • 1382 – John Wycliffe publishes his English translation of The Bible. Doubts about its authenticity are aired as regards the inclusion of 'The Book of the Fugees' and 'The Book of the Score'.

  • 1384 – Chinese Emperor Dong judges a case where paper money is torn up by a couple fighting over them, a crime normally punishable by death. He pardons both but pockets the torn tenners as he and only a few courtiers know about the secret existence of Sellotape.
  • 1386 – The Treaty of Windsor is signed between England and Portugal. It would be longest-lasting treaty of all time, probably because both parties forgot about it soon after.
  • 1386 – King Charles III of Naples and Hungary is assassinated in both countries at exactly the same time.
  • 1387 – Fifty years after its outbreak, the 100 Years War comes to a close, resulting in the complete annexation of France by the King of England. The creation of fish & chips would be the one lasting achievement of the union. After about half an hour, the nations would argue about whether malt vinegar is appropriate on food, and the war is reignited.
  • 1387 – Death of King Charles the Really Bad of Navarre in a bizarre sex games accident. He dies dressed up like a candle when a tipsy courtesan mishears Charles's command 'to burn my dick'. Clumsy!
  • 1388Battle of Näfels. Forces of the Swiss Confederation leave flaming bags of poo on Austrian doorsteps. Angry Austrians pursue them but slip and fall on icy sidewalks.
Queen Ermahgerd is dealt with harshly by her critics.
  • 1389Cheese is invented. This causes many riots, and cows protest. The cow protest eventually turns into an entire farmyard animal brawl. Thus cheese is banned in several countries until the Great Dairy War of 1477.
  • 1389 – The Dark Ages finally end when somebody flicks the light switch to ON.
  • 1390 – Teutonic Knights roam aimlessly around Lithuania trying to kill pagans. They have been tricked by the Lithuanians who have converted to Christianity.[23]

Drunk King Wencesloshed's (Emperor Wenzel) breakfast menu.

“I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.”

  • 1391 – King Tvrtko I of Bosnia nearly succeeds in bringing the 101 Dalmations to heel before dying in this year.
  • 1392 – Charles VI of France's mental problems take center stage. While wisely earlier giving much power to his courtiers, he would shout 'King's X!!' and try to retake power when he imagined he was king of France (again). Other times he exhibits the same erratic behaviour of George W. Bush (US)[24] and Donald Trump (US)[25] much later. At one point, advisors have the entrances to his residence bricked up so he could not escape, as done in recent times with James Callaghan (UK)[26] and Dick Cheney (US).[27]
  • 1394 – Jews are expelled from France, called back and then apparently expelled again two weeks later.
  • 1394 – Death of Queen Anne of England. Known as 'The Bohemian Hippy' as she was born in Prague, Anne's palace in Richmond, Surrey is demolished by police in a vigorous drugs search.
  • 1395 – The Persian Poet Hafiz writes very little at this time, as he has been dead since 1379.

  • 1400 – Ex-King Richard starves himself to death so he can wear that suit he liked so much again. Silly sod.
  • 1400 – Owain Glyndŵr gets into a row with English Lord Grey over horses. Owain declares Welsh independence and keeps all the slates and coal for himself.[28]
  • 1400 – Holy Roman Emperor Wenzel is declared 'deposed' by the 'Electors'. Count Rupert, the 'Palpatine of the Rhineland', abandons his studies at Eton College to become the new ruler of Germany. Wenzel is sacked for being a 'drunken do-nothing' which is actually a compliment. Wenzel (as King Wenceslas) stays in Bohemia's famous Budweiser Budovar Brewery to carry on drinking.
  • 1400 – Byzantine emperor Manuel II visits England on a charity mission to raise funds for his sick empire[29]. He is mistaken for a waiter by King Henry IV and ordered to bring in the stuffed swan. The error is later rectified with a Christmas jousting party.
