Events

Europe
  • Spring – Great Famine of 1315–1317: A famine and pestilence sweeps over Europe, and exacts so frightful a toll of human life that the phenomenon is to be regarded as one of the most impressive features of the period. It covers almost the whole of Northern Europe; the current territory of Ireland, England, France, Netherlands, Germany and Poland. The adverse weather conditions, the ensuing crop failures, and the sharp rise in food prices cause an acute shortage of food that will last for two years. The famine causes millions of deaths (according to estimates, around 10 to 25% of the urban population dies).[1]
  • August 19 – King Louis X (the Quarrelsome) marries the 22-year-old Clementia of Hungary (or Clemence), daughter of Charles Martel of Anjou (titular king of Hungary). He and his second wife are five days later crowned at Reims. Louis becomes the 12th Capetian ruler of France. After his coronation, he passes the throne of Navarre to his younger brother, Philip II (the Tall).[2]
  • August – Louis X (the Quarrelsome) issues a charter in which he allows the Jews to come back to France. They are allowed to stay in the country only for 12 years, and are forced to wear armbands at all times; Jews can only live in designated communities and are forbidden from usury. Through this, the Jewish community depends upon the king for their right to protection.[3]
  • August – Louis X (the Quarrelsome) mobilizes an army along the Flemish border. He prohibits the export of grain and other goods to Flanders – which proves challenging to enforce. Louis pressures officers of the Church at the borderlands, as well as King Edward II, to support his effort to prevent Spanish merchant vessels from trading with the embargoed Flemish cities.[4]
  • August 29 – Battle of Montecatini: The Pisan army (some 20,000 men) led by Uguccione della Faggiuola defeats the allied forces of Florence and Naples. During the battle, Philip I manages to escape, but his son Charles of Taranto and his brother Peter Tempesta are killed.[5]
  • November 15 – Battle of Morgarten: The Swiss defeat Leopold of Austria on the shore of the Ägerisee, ensuring independence for the Swiss Confederation.[6]
  • December – Sultan Ismail I orders the Jews of Granada to wear the yellow badge in public.[7]
