Events
Politics and world events
Holy Roman Empire / Italy
- Pope Benedict VIII visits Emperor Heinrich II in Bamberg at Easter . The background to the visit is the Pope's wish for imperial help for the rebels against Byzantine rule in southern Italy . The Apulian Meles von Bari , who had suffered a devastating defeat two years earlier, also travels to Bamberg to ask the emperor for support. The planned handover of a star cloak donated by him fails, however, because Meles dies before the meeting on April 23 .

Fatimid Empire
- December: The Fatimid caliph al-Hākim lifts the policy of discrimination against Christianity in his empire that has existed since 1009 . This also includes the complete return of all church property confiscated until then and the reconstruction of all demolished churches and monasteries. Some of them can even be rebuilt for the most part using their original building materials. In Jerusalem, too, Christians are now again allowed to pray at the holy grave and celebrate church festivals, even if the basilica was only rebuilt under al-Hakim's successor. The officials who are forced to convert to Islam are free to return to the religion of their fathers. The old guarantees of protection for the congregation are being renewed, so that some Christians who had been exiled in previous years are returning to Egypt and Syria.
