Stirpes Calendar
I think it would be nice to use the forum Calendar as an "European key dates" reminder, of course those dates shouldn't be offensive to other brother Nation (so forget dates of old wars against our respective neighbours for economycal purposes), but they should be dates implying a common European (taking into account what we understand by "European") victory feeling.

Re: Stirpes Calendar
May I propose the 8th. September? It is the date when the Turks left Malta after a 3-months siege that cost thousands of lives in 1565.

Re : Stirpes Calendar
I put la bataille de Poitiers instead of the Battle of Poitiers... I hope it doesn't matter.

Re: Stirpes Calendar
2 January, 1492. Conquest of Granada
The Christian armies of King Ferran of Aragon and Queen Isabel of Castilla enter the city of Granada. The Nasri Kingdom of Granada comes to an end, and with it the presence of Muslims in Spain and the end of the Reconquista initiated 700 years earlier. 16 July, 1212. Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa An army of 100,000-150,000 Almohads defeated by a 60,000-80,000 joint army of most Hispanic kingdoms and Occitans, led by kings Alfonso VIII of Castille, Sancho VIII of Navarra, and Pere II of Aragon and Catalonia, and the bishops of Narbona, Bordéus and Toledo. The "Ultramountain" crusaders (Franks, Germanics, etc.) had abandoned and returned home days before. It marked the beginning of the end for Muslims in al-Andalus. 6 September 1634. Battle of Nördlingen An Imperial army of Spanish Tercios and their Bavarian and Austrian allies, led by Cardinal-Infante don Fernando, crushed a bigger coalition army of Swedish and German Lutherans, who lost between 12,000 and 14,000 men. 12 September 1213. Battle of Muret (mourning day) King Pere II of Aragon and Catalonia and the Occitan Count Raimon VI of Tolosa face the army of the infamous crusaders led by Simon de Monfort which were seizing the lands of Occitania. King Pere dies in battle, and the battle is lost and with it dies the age of the troubadours and corteous love, and the finest medieval culture is destroyed. 7 October, 1517. Battle of Lepanto Navy battle in which an allied Armada led by Spain, together with the Genoese, Venetian, the Papacy, Maltese, Neapolitan and Sicilian galleys, and the Spanish Tercios (the first official marines in history), defeat the mighty Ottoman in Lepanto, off the coasts of Greece. The Armada was led in theory by Juan de Austria (then a child), and effectively by Lluís de Requesens, Joan de Cardona, Álvaro de Bazán, Gian Andrea Doria and Marco Antonio Colonna.

Re: Stirpes Calendar
Erh.. what exactly do you consider offensive?
If I had wanted to be offensive against France, I would have put the battle of St. Quentin. I was going to add the battle of Bailén too, which marks the liberation of Spain from the Napoleonic troops. But then, will you consider it offensive too?

I will not add Austerlitz, Bouvines, Fontenoy, Friedland, Iena, Lens, Marignan, Rocroi, Auerstaedt, Arcole, Eylau or Wagram... Poitiers, Lepante, Reconquista's battles, Vienna, ... are a common European victory, but not St. Quentin, Muret or Nördlingen.

And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation. - Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation. - Heinrich Zimmer, Professor of Celtic and Sanskrit, Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences
