Starting with the 13 century, waves of crusades sweep over Byzantium, their peak falling over the 13 century. The crusaders were avenging the crucifixion of Andronicus, or Christ, in Czar-Grad in 1185. Feudal crusader states of the 13-14 century are founded all across the territory of Byzantium and neighbouring regions. Their inhabitants are a mixture of the local populace and the crusaders from the Western Europe, Russia and Asia. Said regions develop a cultural life of their very own, likewise Byzantium – in particular, this manifests as the compilation of historical chronicles. The early 14 century is the epoch of the Great = "Mongolian" conquest. In 1453, Constantinople falls under the onslaught of the Ottomans = Atamans, originally hailing from Russia, or the Horde. Byzantium is laid waste, and a large part of its population decides to emigrate. Many intellectuals and aristocrats flee to Europe and to lands more distant, including the British Isles. These refugees take the Byzantine historical chronicles with them as priceless mementoes of their past. According to our reconstruction (see [34], [35], [36], [37]), the same epoch of the 14 century marks the conquest of many lands, including the Western Europe, by the Ottomans and the Horde. Britain appears to have been conquered around the same time (see Chron5). We see the foundation of the enormous Great = "Mongolian" Empire. The island of Great Britain becomes an imperial province of the Horde, whose local governors are subordinate to Russia, or the Horde, and the Ottomans. Chronicles writ- ten in Britain around this time reflect the life of the entire Empire and its faraway capital apart from the local events, which were possibly de-emphasised.
After the passage of some time, the inhabitants of the insular Britain begin to write their own history. The "new" history of the "ancient" England gets written in the 16-17 century; this takes place in the course of the Reformation. After the fragmentation of the Great = "Mongolian" Empire in the 16-17 century, historians of the provinces that attain independence begin to write the "new ancient history" of their countries with great haste. In particular, they try to erase the very existence of the Great Empire from the annals of world history. According to the ploy of the rebellious rulers and their court historians, the Empire must be forgotten forever. See Chron6 for more on this "progressive Reformist programme".
A campaign of re-writing and tendentious editing of the old chronicles is launched in England, as well as the Western Europe and the Romanovian Russia. Moreover, after the violent mutiny of the Reformation, many real events of the XIV-XVI were erased from historical memory forever, over the course of several generations. The English Scaligerites of the XVI-XVII century declare the old chronicles of Byzantium, the Horde and the Ottoman Empire, which they edited in accordance with their own agenda. These chronicles serve as basis for the "ancient" his- tory of the actual British Isles. Large parts of Byzantine and "Mongolian" history that had originally pertained to the vast territories of Europe and Asia become transferred (albeit on paper only, obviously enough) to the relatively small territory of the British Isles and their environs. This leads to the inevitable "shrinkage" of many major events. The great and powerful Czars, or Khans, of the Empire, transform into local rulers under the quill of the Scaligerite editors. This leads to a great distortion of historical proportions. The Great = "Mongolian" Empire vanishes from the pages of the "carefully edited" chronicles for centuries to come. Whatever in- formation defies oblivion despite these efforts gets arbitrarily moved backwards in time with the aid of the erroneous chronology, transforming into "ancient myths". This results in the creation of such English chronicles as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Historia Brittonum by Nennius and so on. A while later this recent version of the "ancient" British history rigidifies. Historical research of the 19 and 20 century brings nothing but minor amendments, the addition of new data and new layers of varnish. Nowadays, having dis- covered strange and amazing duplicates inside the "English history textbook" with the aid of statistical methods, we are beginning to realise that the real English history had been a great deal shorter. Our objective can therefore be formulated as the location of Byzantine and "Mongolian" originals inside the Scaligerian version, and the restoration of their true chronological and geographical identity.
