William Tell, a legendary hero of Switzerland…

Charles also occupies Buda in 1307.

Wladyslaw Lokietek, having obtaining the approval of church leaders, has taken over Lesser Poland and the lands north of here, …

…through Kuyavia all the way to …

…Gdańsk Pomerania.

The Bulgarian army has continued its victorious campaign more or less unhindered by enemy forces, although the emperor has melted down his personal treasure in order to recruit more soldiers.

A peace treaty is signed in 1307, cemented with a marriage between the widowed Theodore Svetoslav and Theodora, a daughter of the co-emperor Michael IX Palaiologos: the peace will last until Theodore's death in 1321.

The territory later to be known as the Banat had been conquered and annexed by the Kingdom of Hungary in 1030.

Timisoara (Hungarian: Temesvár) in the Banat region of present western Romania and today the second largest Romanian city, is first documented in 1212 (or 1266) as a Hungarian border fortress.

Timișoara had grown considerably during the reign of Charles I, who, upon his visit here in 1307, orders the construction of a royal palace.

Constantinople’s attempts to secure Il-Khanid support against the Ottomans from the east are unsuccessful, and the emperor's use of mercenary troops from western Europe causes more damage to his own territory than to that of the Turks.

The Ottomans lack effective siege equipment, however, and are unable to take the major cities of Bithynia.

Nor can they move against their increasingly powerful Turkmen neighbors Aydin and Karasi, which have taken over imperial territory in southwestern Anatolia.

The site of Devagiri (today Daulatabad) had been occupied since at least 100 BCE, and there are remains of Buddhist caves similar to those at Ajanta and Ellora.

These have been occupied and reused since.

The city, known as Deogiri or Devagiri, is said to have been founded around 1187 by Bhillama V, a prince who had renounced his allegiance to the Chalukyas and established the power of the Yadava dynasty in the west.

Alauddin Khilji, Sultan of Delhi from 1296, is determined to bring isolated South India under his domain and sends his commander, Malik Kafur, on a southern expedition.

The conquest of South India (the Deccan) by the Delhi Sultanate had started in 1295 when Alauddin Khilji, as the son-in-law and commander of the Sultan Jalaluddin, had raided and plundered Devagiri.

The rajas, so powerful that they are held by the Sultanate to be the rulers of all the Deccan, had been reduced to pay tribute.

The tribute falling into arrears, Devagiri is again occupied by the Muslims under the Ghurid slave-general Malik Kafur, in 1307.

Ramachandra, the king, is taken to Delhi.

Khalji will soon reinstate Ramachandra in return for a promise to help Khalji subdue the Hindu kingdoms in South India.

Dolcino, leading a fanatical horde of Apostolic Brehren who are in daily expectation of seeing the judgment of God on the Church, has since Segarelli’s execution maintained in the mountainous districts of Novara and Vercelli a guerilla warfare campaign against the crusaders who had been summoned to put him down.

Cold and hunger are still more dangerous enemies; and finally the remnant of his forces are captured by the bishop of Vercelli: about one hundred and fifty persons in all, including Dolcino himself and his "spiritual sister," Margareta, both of whom, refusing to recant, are burned at the stake on June 1, 1307.

This effectively ends the sect's history.

Later, in the middle of the century, traces of their activity will be found, especially in northern Italy, Spain, and France, but these are only isolated survivals.

Dante, moving to various centers sympathetic to the Ghibelline cause, has begun to produce a steady stream of literary work.

In his unfinished Convivio (“The Banquet”), written around 1304-07, the poet, apparently immersing himself in the pagan philosophers and cultivation of the Roman tradition, expatiates on his earlier love poetry.

In his pioneering study of linguistics and style, De vulgari eloquentia (“On the Vulgar Speech”), written around 1304-06 in Latin, Dante argues for the use of the vernacular in serious works of literature and for combining a number of Italian dialects to create a new national language.
