  Title: Rani Padmini
  Passage: Padmini, also known as Padmavati, was a legendary 13th-14th century Indian queen (Rani).  The earliest source to mention her is "Padmavat", an epic poem written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540 CE.  The text, which features elements of fantasy, describes her story as follows: Padmavati was an exceptionally beautiful princess of the Singhal kingdom (Sri Lanka).  Ratan Sen, the Rajput ruler of Chittor, heard about her beauty from a talking parrot named Hiraman.  After an adventurous quest, he married her and brought her to Chittor.  Alauddin Khalji, the Sultan of Delhi also heard about her beauty, and attacked Chittor to obtain her.  Meanwhile, Ratan Sen was killed in a combat with Devpal, the king of Kumbhalner who was also enamoured with Padmavati's beauty.  Before Alauddin Khalji could capture Chittor, Padmavati and her companions committed Jauhar (self-immolation) to protect their honour.
  Title: Adam the Leper
  Passage: Adam the Leper was the leader of a fourteenth-century robber band, operating in the south east of England in the 1330s and 1340s.  Like the north Midlands bandits Eustace Folville and James Cotterel, he and his gang specialised in theft, especially directed against the royal court and its agents.  Unlike these contemporaries, he seems to have concentrated mainly on urban centres.  The best documented of his crimes involved a night-time attack against a London merchant with ties to Philippa of Hainault, Queen consort of Edward III.  According to Luke Owen Pike, while the trader was holding a number of the queen's jewels in safekeeping, Adam and his gang laid siege to his house, demanding Philippa's property be surrendered to them.  When the man refused, his house was set alight, and the treasure seized by force.  This was the most serious loss of royal property through criminal seizure since Richard of Pudlicott's attack on the treasury of Edward I in 1303.
  Title: Siege of Chittorgarh, 1303

The conflict has been described in several legendary accounts, including the historically unreliable "Padmavat", which claims that Alauddin's motive was to obtain Ratnasimha's beautiful wife Padmini.
  Title: Siege of Thebes (poem)
  Passage: Siege of Thebes is a 4716 line poem written by John Lydgate between 1420 and 1422.  Lydgate composed the Siege of Thebes directly following his composition of Troy Book - which was patronized by King Henry V - and directly preceding his production of Fall of Princes - which Humphrey Duke of Gloucester patronized during King Henry VI's regency.  The poem is particularly significant because it was written without an identifiable patron, and most probably without patron or commission whatsoever.  But, whatever the status of its patronage, the Siege of Thebes still managed to gain significant popularity, attested to by its 31 surviving manuscripts.  The poem is, in large part, a response to Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales.  Lydgate's poem borrows The Canterbury Tales pilgrimage-based framing device and is written as an additional tale in the cycle.  However, unlike Chaucer, Lydgate establishes himself as the narrator of the work, and recounts the Siege of Thebes.  Lydgate's Siege of Thebes follows and expands upon the Theban Cycle, but makes significant additions to the source materials.

  Title: Siege of Paris (885–86)
  Passage: The Siege of Paris of 885–86 was part of a Viking raid on the Seine, in the Kingdom of the West Franks.  The siege was the most important event of the reign of Charles the Fat, and a turning point in the fortunes of the Carolingian dynasty and the history of France.  It also proved to the Franks the strategic importance of Paris, at a time when it also was one of the largest cities in France.  The siege is the subject of an eyewitness account in the Latin poem "Bella Parisiacae urbis" of Abbo Cernuus.
