French forces leave England following defeats at Lincoln and Sandwich (see 1216). William Marshal, 1st earl of Pembroke, has fought the invaders and concludes a treaty in September with the dauphin Louis granting amnesty to the rebellious barons who invited the French to intervene.

Norway's late Erik X Cnutsson is succeeded by the illegitimate son of the late Haakon Ill Sveresson, who ruled briefly from 1202 to 1204. Now 13, the new king will reign until 1263 as Haakon IV Haakonsson, initially with Earl Skule as regent.

Pope Honorius III grants the title king to the Serbian grand chieftain Stefan, who has ruled since his father's death in 1196 and will be known as Stefan Provencani ("The First Crowned"). Stefan's younger brother Rastko will become the first archbishop of an independent Serbian Orthodox Church in 1219, and the Nemanja dynasty will rule until the middle of the next century, retaining a close connection with the Church (see 1322).

Raymond VI, comte de Toulouse, crosses the Garonne with a small party of horsemen September 13 and occupies Toulouse with help from his Aragonese in-laws, defying Simon de Montfort's right to take his lands and title as decreed 2 years ago by the Fourth Lateran Council. The citizenry welcomes Raymond with open arms; Montfort arrives with an army just north of the city October 8 but is unable to breach the Toulousain defenses and begins a siege (see 1218).

Castile's Ferdinand III is declared of age at 18 and will reign until 1252, ending the dynastic wars that have plagued the country and achieving successes against the Moors. As peace returns, there will be a renewal of Spanish agriculture, which has been disrupted.

Portugal's Afonso o Gordo defeats a Moorish army at Alcacer do Sal.

Salamanca University has its beginnings in a school founded by Alfonso IX of León.

Vienna's bakers pay homage to Duke Leopold VI, who is about to leave on a crusade against the Moors in Egypt and the Holy Land. They offer him rolls baked in the shape of crescents (see 340 B.C.; 1683).

Yuck south east texas sucks(i say this cause my mom is from beaumont). Houston might be the worst place in Texas. There is something about the air and the humidity and the mesquitos that drive people crazy.

Its been forever since I have lived there. The humidity is brutal, but there are many far worse places to live in TX IMO. At least Houston is a decently large town and if you stay away from the refineries, quite nice. Both around Rice and in the North part of the city

Worst place in TX is probably around Brownsville and going toward the Louisiana coast. It is hot, humid and shall we say, less cultured. Most of east TX isn't too nice either. From Houston going NW and W toward San Antonio and Austin is just beautiful, the southwest coast is nice also. My family originially is from the pan handle area, not much there culturally, but its nice there (dry and sunny )

I would say as far as major cities in texas(i was leaving out the little towns). My least favorite are
1. Waco
2. Houston(as a funny side note my mom's family was one of austins original 300 white familys into texas and their land grant was in the greater houston area)
3. Brownsville
4. Beaumont.

But give me any Texas city over western Louisiana especially the Lake Charles and Shreveport areas.

I do agree though that the San Antonio/Austin area is great. My aunt and uncle have a lake house on lake lbj near marble falls. That is the best place in texas.

Neither, I'm going to retrade as an air-engineer so I'll be the one who fixes the punctures and oils the chain whilst it's in the air

Well, you should be ok as long as you don't get attacked by a couple of angry pidgeons.

wife makes noises about a horse every once in a while... i start asking her if she REALLY wants to muck out the stall(s), and that usually kills the subject...

The place we bought 3 years ago (last month) needed a ton of repairs, and every time we got something fixed, it would break again... i was at the point of despair last September, but things have improved in the past few months (after spending $ $$$$$.$$ to fix/replace/remodel things.)

You need to trim costs...get a boat you can keep in the pool and eat the horse.

Which is, of course, why you opened the pool: to ensure the moneypit remained the moneypit.

I agree somewhat

1. Waco - I almost had to move near there. Ex-wife took a job in Waco, I was interviewing for and almost took a job in Dallas, we were going to live halfway in between.
2. Brownsville
3. Beaumont
4. Abeliene (WAY, WAY to religous right)

4. Also applies to Waco. The crazy Baylor religious nuts also run the town.
