1075

[Lucius Malfoy]

1075 starts off rising tensions in Southern Wales, within the army of Marcher Lords and other nobles, under the command of Bageard. To the North, the Northern Expedition proves rather slow as well. Elsewhere, there is stillness and quiet within the realm of England, and even in Normandy.

Events

February – Pope Gregory VII holds a council that publishes a decree against lay investiture. April – Pope Gregory VII publishes the Dictatus papae (Sayings of the Pope, aka the Dictates of Hildebrand), in which he asserts papal authority over earthly as well as spiritual rulers. Revolt of the Earls: Three earls rebel against William I of England (William the Conqueror), in the last serious act of resistance to the Norman Conquest. First Battle of Langensalza: Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor defeats the Saxon nobles and subjugates Saxony. The Liao dynasty version of the Buddhist Tripiṭaka is completed (approximate date). Anund Gårdske is deposed as king of Svealand, and King Håkan the Red of Götaland proclaims himself king of all Sweden. The Seljuq Turks take Jerusalem from the Fatimids. Lý dynasty forces under Lý Thường Kiệt defend Vietnam, against invasion by Song Dynasty China. The Song Dynasty Chinese polymath scientist and statesman Shen Kuo solves a heated border dispute with the Liao Dynasty, by dredging up old diplomatic records; he refutes Emperor Daozong of Liao's bluffs point for point, during a meeting at Mt. Yongan (near modern Pingquan in Hebei), and reestablishes the Song's rightful borders.
