1300-1399 (The Kalmar Union)

1301
Wessex - Edward IV dies. Robert II succeeds.

Vinland - Kristjana III dies. Hafdis III is crowned.

1302
Viken - Wizlaw II dies. Sambor succeeds in Rugia but is never recognised in Viken, mainly due to arguments with the Bishop of Oslo.

Saaremaa - As Svealandic control ebbs away from the Baltic Saaremaa grows in importance. Denmark rewards their loyalty and support in the war against Livonia with additional Estonian islands and cedes control of the Bishopric of Osel. This gives it overlordship in the mainland county of Laane.

Svealand - Magnus III is deposed by Eric VIII in Svealand.

1303
Man - Sigurd III of Man dies. Haakon succeeds, though has to fight his half-brothers for the throne.

1304
Viken - Sambor dies. Wizlaw III inherits Rugia and Viken. He marries Catherine of Svealand, Magnus III's only heir.

1305
Svealand - Eric VIII is deposed by Magnus III.

1307
Svealand - Magnus III retakes Finland, reuniting Svealand's territory.

1310
Anglia - Charles III dies. Henry I succeeds.

1311
Svealand - Magnus III dies. He is succeeded by Eric VIII's son Carl I.

1312
Portugal - Portuguese traders attempting to sail directly to Vinland discover the Azores.

Leifia - A general famine hits Leifia. It lasts for 8 years, weakening most nations East of the Mississippi.

Vinland - Start of the 'Long Althing' in Vinland to reform government. Eventually the Althing expands the number of counties represented to include Fjallasay and Konunglegursaey, and to better represent growing population centres. A second house is introduced for the nobles and church for the settlement of disputes.

1313
Hordaland - Eric II of Hordaland dies.

Man - The Union of Leinister and Man is enacted by the Manx Tynwald. Thereafter the title of Princess of Leinister is given to the ruling family's highest ranking female member.

1320
Vinland - Hafdis III dies. Kristjana IV is crowned.

1323
Finland - In an effort to stop the slow erosion of the Duchy of Finland at the hands of Novgorod and shore up his own support there, Carl I signs the Treaty of Noteborg with them. This treaty effectively makes Northern Karelia and Lappland a no-man's land.

Denmark - Eric IV dies. Canute VII succeeds.

Wessex - Robert II dies. Alix succeeds as the last of the Blois.

1325
Viken - Wizlaw III dies. Olaf III the Great succeeds. He is widely revered as a tactical and military genius.

1331
Man - Haakon dies. His son Sigurd IV inherits all the Manx territories without any problems.

1333
Svealand (The Kalmar Union) - Olaf III of Viken proclaims Carl I's rule in Svealand unlawful and invades with Gothenland allies. By the terms of the treaty of Uppsala Olaf will inherit Svealand on Carl I's death.

Denmark - Canute VII dies. Eric V succeeds.

1337
Svealand - Carl I dies leaving Olaf to inherit the kingdom and to fight his rivals descended from Queen Karin and Knut Birgersson's daughters to secure it.

Leifia - Islamic traveller Ibn Rasid visits the courts of the major Leifian kingdoms before heading on to the Mexica. He finds Isafjordhur and St. Hafdiss small and uncultured compared to Yorvik or even Reykjavik but impressed by the hard working people.

1340
Leifia - On his return Ibn Rasid presents Queen Kristjana IV with three Llamas and to Queen Thorey II a full suit of Jaguar Warrior armour.

1341
Álengiamark - Thorey II dies. Elin III is crowned.

1342
Svealand - Olaf III is crowned in Birka. He will campaign over the next three years to crush a revolt in Finland, make wholesale revisions to the treaty of Noteborg and to expand Svealand northwards into Norrland.

1345
Leifia - The first sailors arrive from Portugal via Verão Island (OTL Bermuda) in improved caracals. The 'Southern' route is open but service for the next century is very patchy. Approximately 60% of all ships sent by this route never arrive.

1347
Anglia - Henry I dies. Henry II succeeds. On his father-in-law's death Henry inherits Brabant.

Europe - The Black Death is first recorded in the Crimea.

1348
Europe - The Black Death ravages Europe. While Iberia, France, Italy are devastated the Empire, Britannia and Scandinavia lose some 30% of their populations.

Poland, Lithuania, Hordaland and the Isles, Lade, Finland, the Estonias, and Rugia escape major epidemics.

1350
Leifia - The Black Death reaches Leifia. Some believe it came via the Azores, others via Iceland & Greenland.

Vinland and Álengiamark are both hit hard, as are most of the Magna Leifia nations.

Population of Magna Leifia is cut by an estimated 30-40%. In highly populated Mexica it is believed to be even higher.

Greenland reaches the limit of its power. As the black death decimates its population the climate has changed, making the island much colder. Trade routes shifting southwards removes most of the passing trade as well. Hordaland and Vinland vie for ownership.

1352
HRE - Olaf III of Viken invades Thuringia in the first steps of a campaign to be crowned King of Germany.

Vinland - Kristjana IV dies. Geirfrithur is crowned.

1354
HRE - By common consent Olaf III is elected King of Germany and Holy Roman Emperor elect.

Terra Mariana (Livonia) and Prussia become principalities of the Empire once more. The Archbishop of Riga and the Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order become Electors.

Conflict between Danish Estonia, Saaremaa and Livonia comes a virtual standstill as a result.

Olaf's overriding desire is to reunite the lands of Charlemagne.

Wessex - Alix dies. Her cousin William, Duke of Somerset is declared king.

1355
Vinland - The Great Stave church at Fjallasay is finished. Geirfrithur dies. Snaedis II is crowned queen of Vinland.

Álengiamark - Continued unrest in Álengiamark's Unami territory pushes the country to the brink. It is unable to reform its Althing due to its massive non-Norse population unwilling to give up any privileges. The vast possessions of the earls therefore remain mostly outside of the Althing system and are subject to martial law and largely untaxable.

Leifia - Following the Black Death and its frequent re-eruptions a general cult of 'Death' grips Magna Leifia. The Mexica gods spread in popularity west of the Mississippi. The Great Stave church at Fjallasay even receives an altar dedicated to Xoloti and Coatilcue for travelling merchants, alongside one for Hel.

1359
The Rus' - The Golden Horde descends into civil war allowing Tver, Vladimir, Moscow and Novgorod to reassert their independence.

1363
Anglia - In return for Imperial assistance with Liege and France Henry agrees Anglia's continental territory is subject to the Holy Roman Empire, adding Zeeland to the list of counties ruled and more importantly, raising the County of Flanders to a Duchy and Electorate.

1371
Wessex - William I dies. William II succeeds.

1372
HRE - Finally crushing Florentine power at the battle of Vernio, Olaf restores Imperial authority south of the Alps. Olaf is re-crowned by the pope in Rome on Christmas Day.

Denmark - Eric V dies. Valdemar II succeeds.

1383
HRE - Olaf III dies, directing war against France, hoping to reunite Charlemagne's empire.

The union of Olaf's remaining territory remains stable and his son Wizlaw IV inherits.

1385
Álengiamark - The Great Unami Revolt. Stoked by their independent neighbours, the Eastern Erie and the Haudenosaunee revolt. As Álengiamark sends in its army to crush the rebellion it is invaded by the Kingdoms of Erie, Seneca and Cayuga. Vinland is busy dealing with Hafsvaedaland and cannot respond.

1386
HRE - Wenceslaus of Luxembourg is crowned King of Germany ending the civil war.

Álengiamark - The Susquehannock join in the continuing revolt.

1387
Álengiamark - At the battle of Kristjanabae the Álengiamark army succesfully repels the joint Erie and Haudenosaunee armies but at the cost of losing 75% of its forces and a third of the nobility. Queen Elin III dies, apparently of heartbreak after the death of her 3 brothers in the battle. Using the interregnum the Quiripi insist they will cede from Álengiamark if peace is not sought and refuse to acknowledge any of the throne's claimants.

Leifia -First Congress of Fjallasay.

At Fjallasay representatives of 10 Leifia nations and 3 European nations meet to arrange a general peace of the Álengiamark lands as well as to define borders.
 * The Erie are confirmed as separate nation, as are the Susquehannock.
 * The Haudenosaunee join with their northern neighbours to form the Confederation of Six Nations.
 * The Southern Unami remain a part of Álengiamark as does the Earldom of Ontario. Both are split into counties to be represented at the Althing.
 * The remaining old Aniyunwiyan lands are given freedom but they quickly rejoin the rump of their empire.
 * Vinland's ownership of Greenland is recognised by Denmark (who promise to prevent Hordaland from reprisals).
 * Vinland's claim on Hafsvaedaland is reconfirmed. Iceland is contracted to help pacify and settle the area.
 * Denmark presents its flag and banner to the church at Fjallasay. Both Vinland and Álengiamark soon have their own versions. Blue with white cross for Vinland, Green with white cross for Álengiamark.
 * Portugal is confirmed as having full control of the Southern route, as well as their ownership of Verão Island and their fort on the mainland.
 * The northern borders are deliberately left vague.
 * Asthurdur II is crowned queen of Álengiamark on the final day of the congress.

1390
Anglia - Henry II dies. Charles IV succeeds.

Vinland - Snaedis II dies. Succeeded by Kristjana V.

1393
Vinland - The pope raises Fjallasay to Archbishophric with authority over all of North-West Leifia. However the papal emissary is appalled by the concurrent worship of pagan gods that is occurring in the cathedral and in many other churches in Vinland. His report hangs the threat of excommunication over Kristjana III. She makes efforts to close the pagan chapels throughout Vinland but it is poorly executed, often without the backup of the army, and only leads to unrest. That she is seen as a distant figure (she never leaves Fjallasay) and ignores Isafjordhur's Althing only makes things worse.

1395
Vinland - Vinland descends into civil war as Eikland & Vinland rebel against the perceived tyranny of Kristjana's Fjallasay run government. Her cousin Asdis is elected queen of Vinland by the Althing at Isafjordhur and receives Eikland's support.

In Europe the war is shown as a struggle between Christianity (Kristjana) and Paganism (Asdis) and support generally falls on Kristjana's side. Álengiamark is more or less completely Christianised so shows little sympathy for Asdis.

Pope Boniface IX ignores the previous excommunication and urges crusade on Kristjana's behalf. The ten-year crisis sees rival navies clash in the Breidurras, repeated invasions by both sides into Algonquin lands, Icelandic armies raiding indiscriminately throughout the region. The main fur trade moves east to Quebec as Fjallasay becomes too dangerous for merchants.

1397
Álengiamark - Asthurdur II dies. Succeeded by Elin IV.
