    Alas, I am too late someone has already finished the work on Chronica Jutensis . However I have made an edit. There was no end date as to when the Chronica was written. I have however found a source on it. My source: Rikke Agnete Olsen, Jyske Krřnike, Wormianum forlag, 1995. It reads as such:
    "It is written somewhere around 1342-1350. Since the book does not mention Estonia being sold to the Livonian Order, which happened September 29, 1346, it must be written before this date or shortly after. It would probably not be common knowledge for a few years, so it can be written after 1346."
    Therefore I have edited it as such: from 1342 - // To 1342 - 1350

    If you need anything else Hross just give us a shout!

    Having -re-read the part in the post concerning artefacts not needing an end date, has my work been a complete self facepalm ?

    What are the guidelines for setting "transferable" to "no"?

    Hi JoeCool, and welcome to TWC

    Basically if an object can always be transferred generally speaking. If it strikes you as VERY unlikely that a Christian relic would be passed to the possession of a pagan for instance then you can add 'not pagan' in the faction specific column.

    People can be transferred, for instance a famous author might travel (be moved by you) between certain characters. Others might stay with one patron all their lives- again it is pretty much your view of what is realistic. There are no hard rules, and you have a lot of freedom to do what you want.

    Note about effects: an ancillary can only have maximum 5 effects.

    i have done 90 ancillaries so far but i think some serious corrections should be made on the file, there are many mistakes. Also I wonder should a manuscript such as Flateyjarbók be limited to a culture such as northern european or be open to all cultures considering it is a paper after all?

    This was written by Bartholomew of Trent (c.1200-1251), who was a Dominican hagiographer who wrote the Epilogum in gesta sanctorum (Afterword on the deeds of the saints). It was probably written in the 1230s/1240s in Bologna.
    edit no.2 : row 302 lack of info Étienne de Meaux
    fl.1250 in Paris although born in Meaux, a city near Paris, in the mid 1220s. He was a composer and troubador who often wrote songs involving women and relationships.
    edit no.3 : row 309 lack of info from Fahkr-i mudabbir
    He might not be particularly relevant to this mod as he was writing in India and compiled a genealogy linking the Ghurids to the Prophet Mohammed in Lahore in the early 13th century.
    edit no.5 : historic character cannot be dated according to wikipedia row 338 Garin d'Apchier
    His the dating of him is uncertain but judging from the date of his vida he was probably active in the last quarter of the 12th century - so c.1170-1210.
    edit no.6 : no info from google at all from Gesta magnifica domus Carrariensis row 368
    The Gesta magnfica domus Carrariensis (The deeds of the magnificent house of Carrara) is a 15th century Gesta of the Carrara family of Padua. Originally they were feudal lords of the village of Carrara but became the despots of Padua after 1318. The Carrara were well known Italian patrons of the arts in 14th century Padua. I have no idea what the date of the document is (first quarter of 15th century perhaps? so 1400-1425), but it would appear in Padua.
    edit no.8 : row 399 Giunta Pisano don't know where does he come from so i didn't put where he appear
    He is from Pisa.

    Today I have edited approx. 30 entries and I will continue adding them throughout the week.
    Also: I've asked for permission from Hross to add a few entries myself, permission that was granted, thank you Hross.
    Why?
    Because I've found that the Kingdom of Hungary has very few entries (about 4-5) whilst other factions have +30-40. Therefore I've added the following:
    The Golden Bull of 1222 (The magna charta of Hungary)
    Mark of Kálti (Author of Chronion Pictum)
    The holy relics of both St. Stephen of Hungary (the first King to be cannonized) and St. Ladislaus which are of great importance in Hungary.
    Friar Julian (Who brought word of the impending Mongolian invasion to Europe, and also was the first European explorer to document his travels in the Mongolian domain)
    Rogerius of Apulia (Writer of the chronicle of the Mongolian devastation in Hungary [1241-1242])

    And I will continue to add entries regarding Hungary, that are well documented. Feel free to add some yourself, I'll check the dates, and information.
    ADDED ENTRIES REGARDING HUNGARY CAN BE FOUND AT THE VERY BOTTOM!
    ~ Cheers
    Diodredai

    EDIT: Just added 21 rows for Hungarian stuff.
    Also: question: when finding sources for the original name of a character/artifact exct (In my case the Ebstorf map) if we find no source such as latin or the like, should we paste in the contemporary name? (In german Die Ebstorfer Weltkarte)

    Also: Could I get a latin alphabet version of: "Պատմություն: մեր շրջապատի այլացեղ ազգերից մեզ հասած արհավիրքների մասին"? Translation: By: Lastivertci, History: About the Sufferings Visited Upon by Foreign Peoples Living Around Us.

    excellent it will speed up the progress as our great Dots leader Hross says if we finish the excel sheet and do what i had failed to do today due to RL stuff

    ahhhh studying good luck then

    p.s thanks for letting me to be my friend oh esteem one

    p.p.s you a uni student?

    my forth day to finish the excel sheet starting from row 783 might reach 850 (or 900 if possible) in the end since i got RL stuff (FUN!) to do and then it will be Diodredai's shift to do the sheet

    row 794 Jónsbók only icelandic language need some english translation

    row 801 even wikipedia are not sure where Joseph ibn Plat comes from

    row 811 is confusing (Katib)

    thats it for today due to more RL situations i only managed to reach row 840 so yeah ........ and also there are lots of gaps between row 840 and 1160 so let me see 320 rows to go so at this rate 3 or 4 more days to finish this unless Diodredai is absent

    p.s sorry mate i got a really bit RL stuff which stops me from working

    Donated 4 new docs. Docs are the following:
    Blessed Eusebius of Esztergom (Founder of the Paulite monastic order in Hungary, historical character)
    Święta Kinga (Patron saint of Poland & Lithuania, daughter of King Louis of Hungary, historical character)
    The bones of Saint Gerard Sagredo (Patron saint of Hungary, became a martyr for the christian fate in 1080, relic)
    Saint Margaret of Hungary (Patron saint of Hungary, daugter of King Béla the IVth, historical character)

    All docs above are fully documented with no gaps to fill. I will continue adding such entries regarding the Kingdom of Hungary.

    No, thank you guys for getting this mod of it's feet and supporting it for all these years. We're only here to help . By the way, is there a limit for how much text can be added the items that I have added? If you could please check The bones of Saint Gerard Sagredo , (row 1161, last item on the Excel sheet, native name: Szent Sagredo Gellért csontjai). I've translated a large amount of Hungarian text that is otherwise unavailable in English (Sources if any Hungarians are interested: Györffy Rózsa: Új magyar legendárium//
    Török József: A magyar föld szentjei//Szegfű László: Még egyszer Szent Gellért prédikációiról)

    ~ Diodredai

    EDIT: added the "The Letter of Batu Khan to King Béla IV". For those who do not know, here is the description I have copied from many sources included in the letter. I believe that this is perhaps the most important document regarding the Mongol's invasion in 1241-1242 of Europe. It reads as following:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    The Letter of Batu Khan (the leader of the Golden horde in 1237) was brought home by Brother Julianus, a Dominican friar in medieval Hungary, who was sent by King Béla IV to find the long lost relatives of Hungarians in Magna Hungaria (The Kazakh Steppe) [There is a theory contrary to this, namely that he was a spy of the Pope, who was worried that the predominantly pagan Mongols might descend upon Europe]. The friar who had already been to Magna Hungaria, and brought word of the Mongol menace, returned to find what happened to the relatives of the Hungarians, however he could not travel further than Moscow, as the Tatars had devastated everything in their path. The khan, who captured the friar set him free, so that he could return home with the letter. The letter reads as following: „Én a Kán, az Égi Király küldöttje, kinek hatalmat adott a földön, hogy a meghódolókat a maguk viszonyai között fenntartsam, az ellenszegülőket pedig eltiporjam: csodálkozom rajtad magyarok királyocskája, hogy amikor már harmincadszor küldök hozzád követeket, vajjon miért nem küldesz vissza közülük egyet sem hozzám? Sem követeidet, sem levelet nem küldtél viszont hozzám. Tudom, hogy gazdag és hatalmas király vagy, hogy sok az alattvaló katonád és hogy egyedül uralkodsz egy nagy királyságban és éppen ezért saját jószántadból nehezen hódolsz meg előttem. Pedig jobb és üdvösebb lesz reád nézve is, ha önként hódolsz meg előttem. Értesültem arról is, hogy a kúnokat, az én szolgáimat pártfogásodba vetted. Ezért meghagyom neked, ne tartsd őket továbbra is magadnál, hogy ellenségeddé ne legyek miattuk. Könnyebb ugyanis a kúnoknak kivándorolniok, mint neked; minthogy azok ház híján sátraikkal ide-oda vándorolnak, talán elkerülhetnek engem, de te házakban lakozol, neked váraid és városaid vannak, hogy menekülsz meg hát kezemből?!” (Translation: I, the Khan, the messenger of the King of Heaven, who uplifts those who surrender willingly to me and my armies, and who vanquishes those who resist, am wondering, why, oh King of Hungary, do you not answer my call, I have sent messengers thirty times already, yet you do not send your servants to me. I know you are a rich and powerful king, that you have many souls in your army and that you rule your kingdom alone, therefore you are unwilling to surrender to me. It would be however better for you if you surrender willingly. I have heard also that you have given sanctuary to the Cumans, my serfs. Therefore I suggest to you: do not keep them by your side, let us not become enemies because of them. For it is easier for the Cumans to leave your lands than you, they have no permanent home, they live where they set camp. Perhaps they can evade my wrath, but you; who lives in houses, whose people live in castles and cities, how shall you escape my grasp?!". The letter is an important document due to two things: firstly, it is highly unusual that such a powerful sovereign such as the Khan of the Golden horde sent not one, or two but thirty messengers to a single monarch. This shows that the power of the Hungarian kings was feared on the steppe, a reputation rightfully earned, as up to 1242, no Steppe nation could successfully invade the Carpathian basin. This letter also has great importance in terms of principle: the Hungarians could have opened their borders to the Mongols, who would have taken the torch to western Europe. Yet the Hungarian King, proving once and for all that the Kingdom of Hungary had rightfully earned it's place in Europe, at the very forefront of the Catholic world: the shield arm of Christianity, declined the offer of the Mongols. Hungary would repel the Mongol invasion of 1241-1242, but at great cost, according to sources, approx. 50% of the population was massacred. A high price Hungary had to pay, for the freedom of Europe. A price that Hungary would prepare to pay several times during it's turbulent but glorious history.

    You are welcome Europe
