1482
In ten years C. Columbus will sail the oceans blue.
1483 - Time travelling merchants from the Orion Nebula visit earth for the first time and start a very profitable turnip trade, spreading the vegetable across the universe.
1484 - For dispensing a plague upon the planet, the time-traveling merchants are hunted down and disposed of by torch and pitchfork.
~~1485~~
the same batch of time travelling merchants come and hunt down with pitchforks and torches the ones who disposed of them earlier...the weird part of it is, somehow it was the same pitchforks that were used before. Are you confused yet? Don't be, it is just time travel. Enjoy the turnips!

1495 -- (I really wanted 1493, but I wasn't able to get online earlier today. Boo hoo!) Two years ago then, Clan Donald lost the title "Lord of the Isles" when King James IV of Scotland sailed from Edinburg around the northern coast of Scotland to the Isle of Skye where he engaged John MacDonald II of Sleat, chief of Clan Donald and defeated him. Stripped of his title, MacDonald was forced to abandon the MacDonald stronghold and live out the remainder of his days in Paisley Abbey, for all intents and purposes in a condition of house arrest. This unfortunate event will eventually lead to an interesting conclusion nearly fifty years later (a number still coming, which I certainly hope I am able to snatch when it comes up in this thread!!!)
1000 + 400 + 90 + 7
1498 - Six years ago, an act of geographical incompetence led to the "discovery" of the New World by people that cared, proving that luck supercedes talent in terms of success and historical importance.
1499............In 500 years, there will be one heck of a New Year's party.
1500 =6×250
7!+7!+4!+4!+3!+3!+1!=1501
1502 - 2 + 2 = 1502
1504 -- John MacDonald II of Sleat, having died in 1498, was succeeded by his Grandson, Donald "Gorm" ("The Blue", probably a reference to his eyes) MacDonald as Chiefton of the Clan Donald. Gorm began consolidating his power among the clans and tenants of the Isles of Scotland and the northwestern Highlands.
1505 -- Donald "Gorm" MacDonald is arrested for treason against King James IV of Scotland for attempting to reclaim the lost title of Lord of the Isles. King James, realizing that hanging Gorm will only lead to another rebellous MacDonald becoming the Chief of the Clan, chooses instead to imprison Gorm in the dungeons of the Edinburgh Abbey on King's Row in Edinburgh.
1506 - The Swiss Guard of the Vatican is created
1507..........................
1508 - Ludovico Sforza dies, and Milan is thrown into chaos
1509.............
1x10^3 + 5x10^2 + 10^1 = 1510
1511- Michelangelo's still busy painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling. (We're in my favorite century in history now, Hoorah!
1512 - The Pope's suggestion of putting nude mermaids on the ceiling (as a continuance of a long-standing Vatican tradition) becomes the subject of much to-do and controversy in Rome. The subsequent cover-up turns the mermaids to men (which are apparently far more acceptable to the ladies of Rome) and places the blame on the allegedly-perverted mind of Michelangelo.
1513... nothing disastrous happened as we're all still around ;)
1514- The year Bramante died, and one year after the publication of Machiavelli's The Prince--which succeeded in creating enough of a stir to temporarily distract the Italians from looking at the nude men on Michelangelo's ceiling.
1514....Michelangelo stubs his toe a total of 35 times this year.
1516--Utopia (in some ways the original never land;)) is published.
1517...ooops I messed up. :blush:
1514 sheep, 1515 sheep, 1516 sheep, 1517 sheep, 1518 sheep... zzz :p
1519 - Donald "Gorm" MacDonald's son, Donald the Grim (Donald Grumach), comes of age: 16 years old! Gorm is still in prison in the dungeon of the Abbey of Edinburgh.
1520- Raffaelo Sanzio, the painter, dies.
