1201 (MCCI) was a common year starting on Monday in the Julian calendar. It was the 1201st year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 201st year of the 2nd millennium, the first year of the 13th century, and the 2nd year of the 1200s decade. After all, this was it, as there was no year zero in the Gregorian calendar, but popular culture generally views 1200 from holding this distinction to be known.
