The Abu Hanifa Mosque is established in Baghdad, when the Grand Vizier of the Seljuk Empire, Abu Saad al-Khwarizmi or al-Mustawfi, builds a shrine for Abu Hanifa near his tomb.
Nothing. Christianity is the same since Christ began it. In 1611 the King James version of the Bible was published. It was translated from “enhanced” non-original manuscripts into English. Christianity remained the practice of following Jesus Christ.
At last, Peanuts daily 1975 strips finally resume after being replaced by 1969 strips thanks to the pre Thanksgiving GoComics.com site shutdown. But is that 1975 Peppermint Patty/Marcie week long football related arc not ever going to be rerun at all unless the Snoopy practicing skating for the Olympics few day arc appears tomorrow?
Guiscard conquers Messina and marches into central Sicily. June 28 – Count Floris I is ambushed on a retreat from Zaltbommel and killed by German troops at Nederhemert. Most of West Frisia (later part of the County of Holland) is conquered and annexed by the Holy Roman Empire…1061.
King Harald Hardrada of Norway was killed at the Battle of Stamford Bridge while invading England. So were lots of his troops: the Norwegians arrived in 300 ships, but only 24 ships were needed to carry away the survivors.
A, the battle of Hastings pitting the English under King Harold and the Norman French invasion of William the Conqueror. Yes, that certainly changed England.
Quite a few things happened. DHBirr mentions the failed Norwegian invasion of England that immediately preceded the successful Norman one. But I suspect that many things happened that didn’t involve the British Isles.
But for an authoritative (ahem) guide to English history, allow me to recommend 1066 and All That by Sellar and Yeatman.
1066 you ask? Yes I know what happened in 1066, the French and the English met at Hastings field for a ball game. The French won the game 5 – 4. The English shortstop muffed a double play allowing the French runner to score the winning run in the top of the 9th. Sadly the English were at the bottom of their batting order and Harold struck out leaving a man on base, ending the game.
“1066 and All That: A Memorable History of England – Comprising All the Parts You Can Remember Including One Hundred and Three Good Things, Five Bad Kings, And Two Genuine Dates” by W.C. Sellar is an excellent satire of English history.

At the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066, King Harold II of England was defeated by the
invading Norman forces of William the Conqueror. ( Peppermint Patty did not have Google)

The year of 1066 was 900 years before Peppermint Patty first appeared in the Peanuts comic strip.

Unless it’s sports, Peppermint Patty has no clue. And as it’s being asked in school, it’s a year and not an address.

Hmmm…now I’m curious about what Peppermint Patty knows about what happened at 1066 the address, and exactly where is 1066…

I think she said 1066 AD, the year that William the Conqueror conquered England and became it’s first really instated king. Just a thought.

If it was an address, the teacher would have asked, “What happened On 1066?”
CalLadyQED over 1 year ago
I know! I know! My ancestor William, Duke of Normandy, was crowned King of the English on Christmas Day at Westminster Abbey.
