Harald Gille is killed in 1136 by…

Champa’s King Jaya Indravarman III concludes a separate peace with Dai Viet in 1136, angering Suryavarman by his refusal to join the Khmer monarch in another expedition against the Vietnamese.

Vsevolod is on May 28, 1136, confined in the Archbishop's courtyard (compound) in the Detinets along with his wife and family, guarded by thirty men so as not to escape.

He is allowed to leave Novgorod in mid-July, going to his uncle in Kiev.

The Novgorodans replace him with the brother of the Chernigov prince, Sviatoslav Olgovich.

They will soon be convinced convinced to replace Sviatoslav with Rostislav Yuryevich, the eldest son of Yuri Dolgoruki.

Vsevolod's dismissal from Novgorod has traditionally been seen as the end of Kievan power in the north and the beginning of the Republic of Novgorod.

After him, a number of princes will be invited in or dismissed over the next two centuries, although only a few, like Aleksandr Nevsky, will be able to assert themselves in the city for a prolonged period.

Eric, on learning that Eskil has raised the nobles of Zealand against him, races north to put down the rebellion, which had spread rapidly across Funen and Jutland, and fines Eskil heavily.

Sigurd has gone to Denmark also with a small army, and hereafter turns towards raiding the Norwegian coast.

Although Sigurd wins little support, he gains much loot from the raids, which after a while allows him to purchase troops in Denmark.

An attempted invasion of Norway by King Erik II of Denmark on behalf of Magnus IV, in which he manages to burn down Oslo, is unsuccessful.

Eric II of Denmark is known as a harsh king to his enemies.

In the summer of 1136, Eric undertakes a crusade against the pagan population on the Baltic island of Rügen and its capital Arkona.

He orders his men to dig a canal between the city and the rest of the island.

The canal has the effect of drying up the spring that supplies Arkona with drinking water.

Arkona is forced to surrender.

Al-Mustarshid not long after the siege of Damascus launches a military campaign against sultan Mas'ud of western Seljuq, who had obtained the title in Baghdad in January 1133 by the caliph himself.

The rival armies meet near Hamadan: the caliph, deserted by his troops, is taken prisoner, and pardoned on promising not to quit his palace any more.

Left in the royal tent, however, in the Sultan's absence, he is found murdered, as is supposed, by an emissary of the Hashshashins, who have no love for the Caliph.

Modern historians have suspected that Mas'ud instigated the murder although the two most important historians of the period Ibn al-Athir and Ibn al-Jawzi did not speculate on this matter.

Fulk, as regent for the heiress Constance of Antioch, had in 1135 sent envoys to offer her in marriage to Raymond, the younger son of William VII, count of Poitiers, who was then at the court of Henry I of England.

Raymond, then around thirty-seven, had arrived in Antioch in April 1136 and married the nine-year-old Constance, thereby becoming ruler of Antioch.

Constantinople has claimed Antioch ever since the First Crusade (1095–99), when the Crusaders had promised to hand over the city to the empire but instead had kept it.

The new prince of Antioch, Raymond I, decides in 1136 that his first action must be to recover Cilicia.

With the approval of King Fulk of Jerusalem, he marches with Baldwin of Marash against Leo.

But Leo, with the help of Count Joscelin II of Edessa (who is his nephew), drives back the Antiochene army.

Triumphant, Leo agrees to have a personal interview with Baldwin of Marash, who treacherously makes him prisoner and sends him off to captivity in Antioch.

Fulk reconciles with his wife, and a second son, Amaury, is born in 1136.

The Almoravids’ mosque of Tlemcen—constructed, like their late-eleventh century mosque at Algiers, in 1136 in a relatively sober style derived from the Great Mosque of Córdoba—features stalactite vaulting (an eastern import) and increasing use of carved plaster.
