1415


Events of 1415 (thought this was a good idea, so I decided to copy their idea )
April 30 – Frederick I becomes Elector of Brandenburg.
July 4 – Pope Gregory XII officially opens the Council of Constance and then abdicates.
June 5 – The Council of Constance condemns the writings of John Wycliffe and asks Jan Hus to recant in public his heresy; after his denial, he is tried for heresy, excommunicated, then sentenced to be burned at the stake.
July 6 – Jan Hus is burned at the stake in Konstanz.
July 31 – Henry V of England is informed of the Southampton Plot against him; he has the leaders arrested and executed before invading France.
August 14 – Portugal conquers the city of Ceuta from the Moors, initiating the Portuguese Empire and European expansion and colonialism.
October 25 – Battle of Agincourt: Archers of Henry V of England are instrumental in defeating a massed army of French knights.
Avignon Pope Benedict XIII orders all Talmuds to be delivered to the diocese and held until further notice.
The Swiss Confederation takes the territory of Aargau from the house of Habsburg.
The Grand Canal of China is reinstated by this year after it had fallen out of use; restoration began in 1411, and was a response by the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to improve the grain shipment system of tribute traveling from south to north towards his new capital at Beijing. Hence, the problem with lack of food supply is sufficed by this year.
The Orthodox Church in the lands of the tsardom of Muskovy (actual Russia) separates from the one in Ukraine and Byelorussia, both claiming to be the true Kiev patriarchate.

November 11 – Pope Martin V succeeds Pope Gregory XII (who abdicated in 1415) as the 206th pope.

   1425  (MCDXXV)

The year 1425 started on a Monday.

Events of 1425
**Beijing, capital of China, becomes the largest city in the world, taking the lead from Nanjing (estimated date).[1]
**The Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium is founded.
**By this year, paper currency in China is worth only 0.025% to 0.014% its original value in the 14th century; this and counterfeiting of copper coin currency will lead to a dramatic shift to using silver as the common medium of exchange in China.
