| 251 |  | Battle of Bannockburn 24 Jun 1314 (Day 2) |

| 252 |  | Battle of Bouvines At Bouvines, French king Philip defeated English king John I's allied force of German, Flemish and English armies under the command of his nephew, German king Otto IV. (This was to be coordinated with the opening of a second front in Aquitaine by John.) This ended the king's efforts to recover his Angevin lands. As a military failure it cost John his remaining political capital at home. |

| 254 |  | Battle of Lincoln Regent William Marshal, commanding on behalf of King Henry III, defeated a combined force of French and rebel troops that were besieging Lincoln castle, then held by the Royalist, Lady Nicola de la Hay. The defeat effectively ended Capetian bid to win the English crown. | |
| 255 |  | Battle of Missionary Ridge | |
| 256 |  | Battle of Montisgard With the abandonment of the joint Jerusalem-Byzantine invasion of Egypt and the campaigning transferring to the north, Baldwin IV was left without a sufficient force to oppose Saladin as he moved into Judea with a large army. Once his army began looting, however, it lost cohesion. Baldwin came out from behind the walls of Ashkelon and fell on Saladin at Mont Gisard. With their forces dispersed and having to execute a retreat in the face of the enemy, the rout of the Ayyubids was on. | |
| 257 |  | Battle of Myriokephelon The Byzantine army was ambushed in a mountain pass by the Seljuq Turk, Kilij Arslan II and thus were ended Greek attempts to control interior Anatolia. | |
| 258 |  | Battle of Nájera Castilian king Pedro I was deposed in 1366 by his bastard half-brother, Enrique of Trastamara, a feat that was accomplished with the backing of the French. Pedro turned to the Prince of Wales, now installed in Aquitaine, but found him cool to the idea of assisting an excommuniced ally of Muslim Grenada and known tyrant. Realpolitik intervened. The contest for throne of Castile provided yet another venue for Edward III to prosecute his ongoing conflict-by-proxy with the French; thus the king eventually rallied the English to Pedro's cause. The fighting (and the bill) fell to Wales. After an inauspicious start in February, Wales thrashed the Spanish at Nájera. The Castilians, advantaged with with superior numbers, were spread on the plain before the town but Wales hit their flank and, once again, the longbow was the difference. Victory was not complete, however. Trastamara made good an escape to France. For the English, the campaign was a tactical success but a strategic failure: Enrique returned after a short respite to topple Pedro and Wales was saddled with the debt of an inconclusive campaign and a fractious nobility that was receptive to the lure of Charles V. |
