The Nasrides dynasty that will rule Granada until 1492 comes to power in the person of the former Almoravid prince Abu Abd Allah ibn Yusuf ibn Nasr al-Ahmar, 29, who will rule what the Arabs call Gharnata until 1273 as Mohammed I. He stiffens Muslim resistance to Christian Spain.
Verona's Ezzelino IV da Romano succeeds to power at age 36. He will be a powerful opponent of the papacy and will lay waste northeastern Italy.
Denmark's Valdemar I has his son Erik crowned king and makes Erik's brothers Abel and Kristoffer dukes, giving South Jutland to Abel and the islands of Lolland and Falster to Kristoffer (see 1241).

Events
By area
Africa
- The Almohad army besieges Ceuta where Abu Musa, the rebellious brother of the caliph, has received shelter and the support of the population. The Genoese rent a part of their fleet to the rebels who successfully resist the forces of the caliph.[1] The consequences of this revolt are threefold: the city becomes de facto independent from the Almohads, but its reliance on the Italian maritime powers increases and the trans-Saharan trade routes begin to shift eastward due to the local turmoil.
Asia
- The first edition of Tripitaka Koreana is destroyed by Mongol invaders.
Europe
- June 15 – Battle of Agridi: Henry I of Cyprus defeats the armies of Frederick II.
- Spain: Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Ibn Nasr rebels against the independent ruler of al-Andalus, Ibn Hud al-Yadami and takes control of the city of Arjona. This is the foundation of the Nasrid dynasty.[2]
- Italy: Pope Gregory IX, driven from Rome by a revolt, takes refuge at Anagni.
- Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II promulgates the Statutum in favorem principum.
