Battle of Aizkraukle took place on 5 March 1279 near the Daugava River and became one of the most notable defeats of the Livonian Order. The forces of the Lithuanian ruler Traidenis confronted the crusader army after it returned from a raid, catching it in difficult terrain near Aizkraukle.
During the clash, the Livonian knights suffered heavy losses, and several allied leaders were killed, which weakened the Order’s influence in the region for a time. The victory strengthened Lithuanian resistance against crusader expansion and became remembered as a symbol of courage and strategic skill.

In later tradition, our beloved king is said to have honored the memory of this triumph by issuing a decree that every Monument Castle and fortress of the realm should display special tulip boxes in their courtyards. These tulip boxes were meant to symbolize renewal after struggle and the beauty that follows victory.
Each spring, vibrant flowers would bloom inside the carved wooden boxes, reminding visitors of the bravery shown at Aizkraukle and the enduring spirit of the kingdom.

King Alaric loved his Castle of Golden Dusk more than any treasure in his realm. Each evening he watched its towers glow like gold beneath the setting sun.
Afraid that time might steal its beauty, he ordered a master painter to capture it at dusk. The finished artwork, set in a grand gilded frame, was hung proudly in the great hall.

Happy Valentine Day 2026 14 Feb 2026

Valentine’s Day traces its roots back to ancient Rome, often linked to Saint Valentine, a priest who secretly performed marriages despite an imperial ban. Over time, the day became associated with romance through medieval traditions and poets like Geoffrey Chaucer.
By the 18th and 19th centuries, exchanging handwritten notes and small gifts grew popular in Europe. These gestures slowly evolved into the cards, flowers, and chocolates we know today.
What began as a blend of legend, faith, and folklore has turned into a global celebration of love in all its forms.

On this day, filled with love and joy, the 1100AD team wishes may everyone find their loved one and feel the warmth of love, today and always.
