Harry Potter Morning Light

In fact, compared to the falcon, Georgiana hoped that Fredley could give her a Himalayan bowl. Listening to the sound it made, whether doing yoga or meditation, it is easy to form a "resonance".

Doing yoga after a full meal is not very effective, so she just posed in the "tree pose" meditation.

She imagined herself as a tree, with her feet in the soil, roots growing from the soles of her feet, feeling the rhythm of nature, and with her breath, her imagination flew far, far away like a falcon...

Waging a public war requires more "justice", for example, the reason for the Crusades at the beginning was to protect pilgrims.

The Knights Templar restricted the dress code and only allowed white. Georgiana visited many noble family crests and armor in France.

Perhaps the exquisite armor was a symbol of nobility at the beginning, but in actual combat, people found that the thing was not clear after being covered with mud and blood, especially on the battlefield full of sand and dust, and the high-saturation flag could clearly indicate their identity.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to doing this. The advantage is that the enemy knows that they can exchange ransom for capturing such nobles with flags, but the disadvantage is that this is a ready-made target and they will usually be beaten up.

The helmets of the Knights of Malta are similar from the leader to the ordinary members. The armor and weapons of the Knights Templar are provided by the Knights Templar. The full name of the Knights Templar also includes the word "poverty", and white cloth does not need dye.

The Crusades are time-consuming and laborious. No country can complete them alone. Moreover, after the war, the countries participating in the Crusades have to go back. From a more practical point of view, such a war is not cost-effective. Moreover, since 1219, Mongolia has begun its westward expedition. Genghis Khan's grandson fought in Poland and Hungary, causing more panic than Attila, the "scourge of God".

During this period, an empire called the Seljuk Empire was established in Asia Minor. It had a branch called the Rum Sultanate. The borders they formed almost surrounded the Latin East.

Ili (ii-khan) means "subordinate Khan". If you look at the family tree, Ili Khan is also a descendant of Genghis Khan. After Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty in 1260, the Mongol westward expedition basically ended. Kublai Khan was a ruler who attached great importance to civil governance, and his subsequent successors were generally the same. However, since Kublai Khan's death in 1294, the Yuan Dynasty fell into turmoil about the succession of the Khan's throne, especially Yuan Renzong, who broke the oath of uncle and nephew he made with Yuan Wuzong. He inherited the Khan's throne from Yuan Wuzong, and Yuan Wuzong ascended the throne in 1307, the year when the Knights Templar were destroyed.

In the archives left behind, Pope Clement V almost "obeyed" Philip IV at the beginning, or at least not like Boniface VIII.

But on November 22, 1307, Clement V issued the Edict of the Excellence of the Pastor and sent it to all Christian monarchs in the West, including King Edward II of England, King James II of Aragon, and the rulers of Castile, Portugal, Italy and Cyprus. The general meaning was that Clement V was unwilling and would not allow the Capetian dynasty to destroy the Knights Templar.

After being ravaged by the Mongols, the "Eastern" Seljuk Empire had split into many emirates. Compared with these emirates, the Rum Sultanate still had a little resistance, but after being defeated by the Mongols in 1243, they had to pay tribute to the Ilkhanate and surrender, retaining only a certain degree of autonomy.

Across the ocean, there is an island called Cyprus, which used to belong to Byzantium. At the end of the 12th century, the governor of Cyprus broke away from Byzantium and became independent. In 1191, Richard I the Lionheart visited the island during the Third Crusade, and then sold Cyprus to the King of Jerusalem through the Knights Templar.

From 1192 to 1489, the Lusignan Dynasty was called Cyprus. Guy de Lusignan, who bought Cyprus, was a Frank. At the end of the Battle of Hattin in 1187, the Knights Templar were besieged by Saladin's army. In the same year, Saladin captured Jerusalem, and the Knights Templar retreated to Cyprus.

This transaction allowed Richard to get money to continue the crusade, and Guy also got a place to stay, waiting for the Holy City to be recovered.

In 1229, Frederick II fell out with the Pope - why did Frederick II welcome a Frankish King of Jerusalem back to the Holy Land? Therefore, after 1230, the throne of Jerusalem became the focus of competition among the royal families of various European countries.

The island was also divided into those who supported the Pope and those who supported the emperor. In order to recapture the holy city, the Crusaders even allied with the Mongols. However, in 1260, Hulagu, the founder of the Ilkhanate, led the main force eastward to help Kublai Khan seize the throne. The remaining Mongolian army was defeated by the Mamluks, and Mongolia withdrew from Syria.

So it was the turn of Armenia in Cilicia, the Kingdom of Antioch, the County of Tripoli and the Kingdom of Jerusalem to face the Islamic world.

The Count of Tripoli in the 13th century was also the Duke of Antioch, so the County of Tripoli became a subordinate area of ​​the Principality of Antioch.

In the middle of the same century, Count Bohemond VI of Tripoli was influenced by his father-in-law, Khtom I of Armenian Cilicia, and swore to submit to the Mongol Empire and sent troops to support the Mongol invasion of surrounding areas. In retaliation for the County of Tripoli's assistance to the Mongols, the Mamluk Sultan of Cairo sacked Antioch in Tripoli after the Mongols withdrew. From then on, the territory captured by the Crusaders was slowly eroded.

In 1268, King Conrad III of Jerusalem died. The German Hohenstaufen family in Jerusalem and Sicily disappeared. The forces supporting the emperor on the island of Cyprus dispersed. King Hughie III of Cyprus once again unified the island and declared the successor to Acre. Throne of Jerusalem, Cyprus has since merged with the Throne of Jerusalem.

Acre was captured by the Mamluks in 1291, and Henry II brought a large number of crusaders to Cyprus. From then on, although the Cypriot royal family still held the throne of Jerusalem, it forever lost the land of the Holy Land.

Compared with the dry Jerusalem, Cyprus is rainy and fertile, which is very suitable for implementing the feudal system of Western Europe. Gradually, Cyprus prospered rapidly in the 14th century, and Genoese began to immigrate to Cyprus.

They encroached on the territory and property of the Cypriot lords through usury and other commercial investment methods. During the "Prison of Avignon", the Cypriot lords who were eager to get rid of Italian control sided with the French King and supported the Pope of Avignon. They expected France to Helping them expel the Italians, Philip IV once claimed to be a descendant of Charlemagne.

Returning to Acre, it was captured by the Mamluks. The news reached Paris in 1292. The pope at that time was still Clement IV, and Jacques de Molay, the leader of the Knights Templar, returned to Rome from the East. His purpose was to make Try to save the Holy Land.

In 1275, the Knights Templar were involved in the "Succession War" of the County of Tripoli. Bohemond VI's son, the fourteen-year-old Bohemond VII, hoped to inherit his father's title of Count of Tripoli and was defeated. to the boycott of the Jubail family.

Lord Jubail was a descendant of the Genoese navy. In order to get the support of the Genoese navy, the county allotted a territory to the Genoese.

At that time, the Jubail family believed that the earl was too young to govern and that someone should act as regent.

The lord of Jubail believed that he should be the regent, and others believed that the bishop of Tortosa should be the regent, but Bishop Paul of Tripoli believed that he should be the regent. The Grand Master of the Knights Templar at that time was an ally of Paul and supported Paul's rise to power. So when Bohemond VII came to power, he inherited not only the power of the count but also the hostility of the Knights Templar.

To this end, small-scale field sieges broke out in Tripoli, Sidon and Tortusa, and the Templar base in Tripoli was destroyed by the new Count of Tripoli.

The Knights Templar are not just a base in Tripoli, but also have a headquarters in Cyprus. However, their main task is to protect the County of Tripoli and the roads passed by the Prince of Antioch, as well as the two fortresses in the County, Tortusa and White Castle, they were the meetinghouses belonging to the Knights Templar.

This civil war ended in 1282, and the kingdom ended in 1289 due to the Mamluk invasion.

Edessa had fallen before the Second Crusade, so the Crusaders were left with the Armenians of Antioch and Cilicia, who also chose to cooperate with the Mongols.

Armenia in Cilicia was also called New Armenia. In the middle of the Middle Ages, the Seljuks occupied Armenia. Some Armenians fled to Cilicia and established the new Armenian state. It was an important ally of the European Crusaders.

They are directly bordered by the Sultanate of Roma. Roma is the name of Byzantium. The people of the Sultanate of Roma are usually called the Seljuks of Roma. In 1308, the Sultanate of Roma was destroyed by the Mongols. Since then, this area has It became an area under the jurisdiction of the Ilkhanate.

The Sultanate of Roma was an important period. The Seljuk people were originally nomadic people. During the Sultanate of Roma, they gradually began to transition to settlement and became farmers and craftsmen.

Although Yuan Wuzong was given the posthumous title of Wu, he did not carry out many wars during his four-year reign. Instead, he mostly carried out reforms. However, Yuan Chengzong collapsed. Wuzong led his troops from Mobei to the south to obtain the inheritance rights.

In 1295, powerful ministers murdered Ili Khan's capital, Haihe, and proclaimed Baidu as Khan. Hezan raised troops to fight against the rebellion and seize the throne of Khan.

Haihedu has a lamaist name, which means "Dabao Vajra" in Tibetan. He was extravagant and his treasury was empty. He also imitated the Yuan Dynasty's banknote method and issued banknotes. Hezan received the support of the feudal lord Hemulin. He converted to Islam, established a state religion, and called himself Sudan. This marked that the Mongolian rule in Asia Minor officially entered the era of Islamic culture, which can be regarded as the Ili The watershed of the Khanate.

After Ghezan came to the throne, he vigorously carried out social reforms and even established envoy exchanges with Britain, France and the Holy See. This period was the most powerful period of the Ilkhanate. In 1304, when his younger brother He'erbanda came to the throne, he still continued to use His brother's policies were followed, but he claimed to be the Great Khan and had more frequent contacts with envoys from the Yuan Dynasty.

After arriving at Yuan Wuzong, the relationship between the Chagatai Khanate and the Yuan Dynasty and the Ilkhanate became increasingly tense, and the Chagatai Khanate has always been wary of the Ilkhanate and the Yuan Dynasty.

The head of the Knights Templar, Molayguang, wanted to restore the Holy Land. In addition, there was a promise from Boniface VIII that the Knights Templar not only had "freedom and immunity" in the Holy Land, but also would not compete with other knights. Incorporated, by 1300 he was still preparing a navy, purchasing galleys from Venice, including the Saker.

The ship was later inherited as a legacy by the Hospitallers of Rhodes, although the Hospitallers had not yet occupied Rhodes.

In 1306, Master Molay received a message from the Pope and thought there was hope. Although he was warmly welcomed in France and England last time he went to recruit, both the Canterbury and Reims church conferences concluded that the military orders should bear most of the expenses for recovering the Holy Land, as if to imply that the military orders themselves had lost the Holy Land.

The trial of the Knights Templar lasted from the autumn of 1307 to the following year. Most of the Knights Templar were farmers, wine merchants, carpenters, etc., but there were still veteran crusaders like Rambo de Caron, the head of the Cyprus branch. The interrogator in black took only one day to make him confess.

In short, after Rhodes was built by the Hospital Knights, everyone competed for this "Pearl of the Mediterranean". Rhodes actually drifted around on the "Falcon" and finally settled in Malta.

Without the Templars and Mongolian allies, Armenia in Cilicia was also defeated by the Mamluks in 1375. Although Western European countries also thought about restoring the Holy Land, they were often people who lacked experience in the East and had never seen a Mamluk in their lives. They made plans in a hurry.

The nomadic Huns also started farming after arriving in Central Europe. Europeans thought that Genghis Khan stopped his westward expedition because Germany had no grassland to supply Mongolian war horses, and war horses were Mongolia's reliance.

The reason why Genghis Khan suddenly turned around may be similar to that of Timur. There were problems in the "East". Temujin encountered the Xixia people who violated the alliance when he was sending troops, and Timur was fighting for the Khanship.

Whenever there is a war, food prices will skyrocket. Moreover, the Baltic Sea has reduced production in the previous two years. France has finally stabilized food prices, which cannot be achieved without the rice purchased from Piedmont.

No matter how rich Italy is, it can't afford this. It's even harder for Georgiana to use the inheritance left by the Archbishop of Milan to grow beets and sugar.

The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.

Unable to calm down, Georgiana has difficulty entering a meditative state, and she slowly opens her eyes.

"I hope I didn't disturb your meditation." Frederick said in French.

"You should have called me earlier." Georgiana smiled and picked up a glass of water that had been prepared long ago and drank it all in one gulp.

The weather was too hot, so she still wanted to drink something cold, of course, the premise was that there was ice.

She put down the glass, and the remaining water drops slowly fell along the wall of the glass, looking like tears.
