1213 King John of England ordered 3,000 capons, 1,000 salted eels, 400 hogs, 100 pounds of almonds and 24 casks of wine for his Christmas feasts.

1217 The Charter of the Forest was issued by King Henry III, returning rights to the common man including access, pasture, grazing, cutting turf, collecting firewood, and ended harsh penalties.  In 1154 King Henry II had placed restrictions and levies on woodland, fields, heathland, etc.

1239 King Edward I of England was born. King Edward I of England (1239-1307, ruled 1272-1307). His coronation feast included 278 bacon hogs, 450 pigs, 440 oxen, 430 sheep and 22,600 hens and capons.

1315 Significant famine in Europe for several years. Planting seed supplies consumed, more than half of livestock died. Disinterred bodies reportedly eaten in Ireland.

1338 Charles V of France was born. It was Charles V who commissioned Taillevent  to write what would become the first professional cookery book written in France, 'Le Viandier'.  Forks were mentioned in an inventory during his reign. Some believe that he died as a result of eating amanita mushrooms.

1368 Charles VI of France was born. It was during Charles VI rule that Taillevent was made Master of the King's kitchens. Charles VI also gave sole rights for the aging of Roquefort cheese to the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, and all Roquefort must still be aged in the caves there today.
