13th century

A period of history also known as God's Vacation.

Lots of Black death, floods and bloody wars, including The Hundred Years War which the English won on the away rule, despite the vast bloodshed on each side.

Numerous people lived in this century, none for very long. It saw developments in armour, they decided wearing metal was better than buboes covered in wool covered in eggshell.

It saw the development of modern Europe as a conglomeration of ethnicities determined to preserve the Amiga computer and French agriculture. Switzerland emerged as a political power at least in its own mind and the Franco-German Wars started.

Eyeglasses were invented in Northern Italy and first worn by Sean Connery. Sandpaper was invented in China as a potent emetic.

Genghis Khan ravaged a large portion of Asia with vandalism and a capella performances, and his son Kublai Khan wrested power from a dynasty of vases and founded the Yuan dynasty in China. This dynasty was to prove instrumental, causing the end of a capella in China until its reintroduction by Billy Joel during the Cultural Revolution.

In England, King John and a covey of barons signed the Magna Carta, arguably the first end user licence agreement thus plunging that nation into a series of bloody internecine battles that culminated in the establishment of the Church of England by Henry VIII and prominent Utopian Thomas More.

The 13th century was really the worst century of the Middle Ages.

  • 1220-1239 It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armoured space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...
