And, in after years, amongst our beautiful old English metrical romances, I found the same impassioned complaint uttered by a knight, Sir Ywain, as early as A.D. 1240 "But now, where'er I stray or go, My heart SHE has that is my foe!"
This does not mean that 1880 cash are represented by 1880 coins, not at all; because 62 cash in Yunnan are counted as 100. Eighteen hundred and eighty cash are therefore represented by only 1240 cash coins and all prices must be paid in this proportion.
On the death of the Lord Rees, one of the grandsons of Owen Gwynedd becomes the central figure in Welsh history. Llywelyn the Great rose into power in 1194, and reigned until 1240 a long reign, and in many ways the most important of all the reigns of the Welsh princes. Llywelyn's first task was to become sole ruler in Gwynedd.
Accustomed to lean on the civil power, she has always been content to play a secondary part, and has never strenuously resisted the formation of national churches. For about two centuries after the introduction of Christianity from 988 to 1240 Russia formed, ecclesiastically speaking, part of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Freind says this chapter is copied chiefly from Theodorius of Cervia. See page 3 ante. If, however, I am correct in my conjecture that the Compendium was written about the year 1240, the copying must have been done by Theodorius, whose "Chirurgia" did not appear until 1266. Sometimes, too, it occasions a solution of continuity and the loss of members.
The pillage was most terrible. Even the tombs were not respected. All that remains of the Church of the Dime is a few fragments of mosaic in the Museum at Kiev. St. Sophia and the Monastery of the Catacombs were delivered up to be plundered, 1240.
Such things are proper to peoples new-born after their long pralaya; and can hardly happen, one would say, after the morning of the manvantara has passed. Thus in our own European cycle, Italy the first-born was in full creative energy from about 1240 to 1500: twenty-six decades; whereas the nations that have held hegemony since have had to be content each with its thirteen.
