Cumans and local Greeks help the Bulgarian czar Kaloyan defeat Frankish crusaders and the emperor Baldwin I near Adrianople. Baldwin is captured; his able brother Henri, count of Hainaut, 31, is named regent; and Baldwin is executed at age 34 (approximate) (see 1206).
The Venetian doge Enrico Dandolo dies at Constantinople at age 97 (approximate) and is buried in a marble tomb in the vestibule of the church of Santa Sofia. Having built an opulent palazzo at Venice, he has further enriched himself through the "rape of Constantinople."
France's Philippe II Augustus conquers Anjou from the English.
Hungary's Arpád dynasty begins its most disastrous reign. The brother of the late Emeric I dethrones his infant nephew Ladislas III and will reign profligately until 1235 as András II.
Volhynia's prince Roman Mstislavich dies in a battle against the Poles, having united Volhynia and Galicia in 1199 and sacked Kiev in 1203. His 4-year-old son Danilo Romanovich succeeds as prince of Volhynia and beginning in 1221 will make himself a powerful figure in the politics of east-central Europe.
Georgian forces led by Queen Tamara rout a Turkish army at the Battle of Basiani. She has marched with her men to the Turkish encampment on the eve of battle and been hailed with the cry, "To our king!" (see 1209).
Japan's boy shōgun Sanetomo survives an attempt on his life, being saved by his mother, the regent Tokimasa Hojo's daughter Masako (see 1204). Hojo's second wife has urged her husband to have Sanetomo deposed in order that her son-in-law could be shōgun. Masako and her brother Yoshitoki Hojo force their father to resign, Yoshitoki becomes the regent for Sanetomo, and Tokmasa enters the priesthood.
Poetry: New Collection of Ancient and Modern Times (Shin kokinshu) is compiled by Japanese poets who include Sadaie (or Teika) Fujiwara, now 43, who has used innovative and experimental techniques while preserving the language and styles of classical poetry (date approximate). The former emperor Toba has demonstrated some poetic ability of his own and has appointed Fujiwara to help compile the eighth imperial anthology.
