Events

Summer – The Saracen fleet appears before Pisa, but departs again. The Pisans take their fleet to sea to give chase and defeat the Arab fleet at the battle of Reggio Calabria (Southern Italy).

Fall – Danish Viking raiders led by Sweyn I (Forkbeard) attack and destroy the river crossing at Wallingford. The Danes attack and burn the town of Reading (located in the Thames Valley).

A major eruption of the Mount Merapi volcano covers all of central Java with volcanic ash, causes devastation throughout central Java, and destroys a Hindu kingdom on the island of Java.^[1]

May 1 – The brightest supernova ever recorded, SN 1006, occurs in the constellation of Lupus. It is observed and described in China, Japan, Iraq, Egypt, and Europe. Modern astronomers now consider its distance at about 7,200 light-years. The records of the event are suppressed in some western countries.^[2] The supernova provides enough light to read by on a night with a dark moon.
