May 1097AD- the earliest crusaders were so easily defeated that when this second wave showed up at Nicaea how could it be much of a threat? However, these crusaders were led by some of the most powerful warlords of Europe; leading powerful armies of mounted knights. Now under siege, Nicaea sends an urgent plea for help and Kilij Arslan answers with a massive mounted force of his own. These two forces meet outside the walls of Nicaea in the largest mounted battle of the First Crusade.

1231BC- Present at the battle were the Libyans, neighboring Meshwesh, and peoples from the eastern Mediterranean. The first lines of the Karnak inscription include some sea peoples at the battle. The Egyptian Pharoah Merneptah received news that the wretched, fallen chief of Libya, Meryey, had fallen upon the country with his bowmen. Taking the best of every warrior in his country, Meryey had reached the western boundary in the fields of Perire, a city on the western part of the delta.

27 July 1214AD- The Royal French Army of Philip Augustus faced a coalition of his Breton, Flemish, English, and German foes, led by Otto IV, Holy Roman Emperor. The French victory led to the final dissolution of the Angevins, and shook King John of England's power sufficiently that he had to sign the Magna Carta. And Otto IV was overthrown within 18 months. Philip Augustus used his victory to create the strong centralized French monarchy that would survive until the French Revolution.
