The new pope Clement IV induces Charles d'Anjou to accept the kingdom of the Sicily as a papal fief, offering conditions even more favorable than those offered by Pope Urban IV in 1263. He grants Charles all the privileges of a crusade; Charles sails for Rome. He narrowly escapes capture by the fleet of the Sicilian king Manfred but reaches Rome safely and is crowned by the pope.
England's Prince Edward escapes from his custodians at Hereford in May (Whitsuntide) with help from Gilbert de Clare, 8th earl of Gloucester. Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, has tried to make up for his lack of baronial support by summoning representatives of the shires and boroughs to Parliament, but although he has attempted to rule through elected councilors and a parliament that includes country knights and burgesses as well as great noblemen, his military dictatorship has antagonized the country. Edward gains support from lords of the Welsh march who are still at arms, and he kills Leicester August 4 at Evesham (some 3,000 barons, knights, and infantry are killed by the royal army, which loses about 2,000 killed and wounded). Dead at age 57 (approximate), Leicester is buried in the abbey at Evesham. Richard, earl of Cornwall, is released from imprisonment at Kenilworth (see Dictum of Kenilworth, 1266); Edward will dictate government policy for the remaining 7 years of his father's reign.
The Mongol khan Hülegü dies and is succeeded by his son Abagha, who will rule Persia until his death in 1282.
Gui Cardinal Foulques (Guido Fulcodi) is elected pope in absentia February 5 while on a diplomatic mission to England, succeeding the late Pope Urban IV. He is consecrated February 15 and will reign until 1268 as Clement IV.
The motet musical form developed by Franco of Cologne and Pierre de la Croix will not reach mature form until the 16th century.
London's Covent Garden market has its beginnings in a fruit and vegetable stand set up on the north side of the highway between London and Westminster by monks of St. Peter's Abbey. They begin to sell produce from their garden that exceed the requirements of their Westminster Abbey (see commerce, 1552).
