Golden Bull of Sicily
Time: Wednesday Sep 26, 1212
Place: Basel, Holy Roman Empire
Details: The Kingdom of Bohemia was a significant regional power during the Middle Ages. In 1212, King Ottokar I (bearing the title "king" since 1198) extracted a Golden Bull of Sicily (a formal edict) from the emperor Frederick II, confirming the royal title for Ottokar and his descendants and the Duchy of Bohemia was raised to a kingdom. Bohemian kings would be exempt from all future obligations to the Holy Roman Empire except for participation in the imperial councils. Charles IV set Prague to be the seat of the Holy Roman Emperor.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
