And now it is 1196.
Madoc, son of the late King of Wales, flees to America. For centuries, this legend was used by the English to claim the New World, but no proof of Madoc's existence or voyage exists. The newly-formed United States would later try to locate a Welsh-speaking Indian tribe descended from Madoc's fellow-voyagers, with no success.
William Osbert leads a short, unsuccessful rebellion against the rich in London. Personally loyal to Richard the Lionhearted, he was a tremendous speaker who managed to rally a mob of poor folk to his cause. He was quickly killed, and the revolt ended. Later that year, an epidemic and a famine break out in England.
Sverker II peacefully inherits the throne of Sweden. But his sons will later revolt; he will kill three, and one will kill him and take the throne.
On December 6, the Netherlands is hit by the Saint Nicholas Flood. Large areas of the north are destroyed, and the geography is actually re-arranged.
