Events

By area

Africa

• The Almohad army besieges Ceuta, where Abu Musa, the rebellious brother of the caliph, has received shelter and the support of the population. The Genoese rent a part of their fleet to the rebels, who successfully resist the forces of the caliph. The consequences of this revolt are threefold: the city becomes de facto independent from the Almohads, but its reliance on the Italian maritime powers increases, and the trans-Saharan trade routes begin to shift eastward, due to the local turmoil.

Asia

• The first edition of Tripitaka Koreana is destroyed by Mongol invaders.
• April 8 – The Jin Dynasty in China defends their capital against the Mongol siege of Kaifeng, during the Mongol–Jin War. The battle involves the use of rockets.

• July 16 – Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Ibn Nasr is elected ruler of Arjona, Spain, by the local mosque. He rebels against the independent ruler of al-Andalus, Ibn Hud al-Yadami, and takes control of the city. This is the foundation of the Nasrid Dynasty.
