January 13 – A short-lived truce is declared, between the Kings
Richard I (the Lionheart) and
Philip II (Augustus).[1] Two of Europe's most powerful rulers meet on the banks of the
Seine River, while shouting terms to one another. With a peace secured, Richard is able to refocus on bringing internal order to the south of the
Angevin Empire.[2]
March 26 – Richard I besieges the unarmed castle of
Châlus-Chabrol, and is shot in the left shoulder with a
crossbow, by the French boy
Pierre Basile.[3] The war between the kingdoms of
England and
France has become so brutal, that
Hugh of Lincoln is warned that "nothing now is safe, neither the city to dwell in nor the highway for travel".[4]
Summer – Philip II renews his war against England, supporting the rival claim to the English throne of John's 12-year-old nephew
Arthur I, duke of
Brittany.[1]
