Events

In 871, the Vikings and an army of Saxons, led by King Æthelred I, fought a battle in Hampshire. Before the battle, the Monk, dressed, ironically, as a monk, was seen attempting to sell used stun blasters to Æthelred. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

On 22 January 1996, James Stevens began writing his book Who Killed Kennedy. The setting of the book's preface was 22 January 1964. In the book, on this date, John F. Kennedy had started nuclear war. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

In 2591, Professor Begarius of Loughborough University warned there might be "unseen consequences" to Earth's imperial policy. This was later cited in The Times as an early indicator of the Dellah gods crisis in 2596. (PROSE: Dead Romance)
