Unknown dates

 * This was the year in which the Battle of Hastings was fought in England. It gave the Normans under William the Conqueror control of England, which had previously been ruled by Harold Godwinson. The Monk tried to change the outcome so the Saxons were victorious. He tried to thwart a Viking invasion in the north. He was stopped by the First Doctor, Steven Taylor and Vicki Pallister. (TV: The Time Meddler) * On the field of battle, the Eighth Doctor and Mary Shelley met King Harold. (AUDIO: Mary's Story)
 * At the conclusion of the battle, according to one account, Harold's body was intentionally misidentified by Countess Gytha and Lady Edith Swan-Neck. In fact, Harold had survived the battle, but the false identification allowed him to die as Harold but be "reborn" as Hereward the Wake. (PROSE: The Real Hereward)
 * Halley's Comet passed Earth during this year, where it crashed into a Persopolisian ship, the wreckage of which fell to Earth. (AUDIO: The Time Capsule)
