Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

The Song shi basic annals record that on the bingwu day of the third lunar month of Xining 5 (AD 1072) a Market Exchange Bureau (市易務) was set up with money from the Inner Treasury (內藏庫).
Limits: The Song shi is a Yuan-compiled (1343-45) official history drawing on Song court records; the English is an AI working translation. The annals do not state where the bureau was located or how much money was used.

AD 1072Placed in a yearEuropePolitics and institutions
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Ingram/Giles translation) records under 1072 that King William led a naval and a land force to Scotland, entering by the Tweed with his land force, and that King Malcolm came, made peace with him, gave hostages and became his man, after which the king returned home.
Limits: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a monastic chronicle, used here through a 19th-century English translation (this e-text gives J. Ingram's translation, with excerpts of J. A. Giles's translation collated in by its preparer; the Old English was not checked); this records what this translation of the Chronicle says, not independent confirmation. The translator's note (96) says Florence of Worcester and those who follow him place the meeting at Abernethy; this translation names no meeting place (the Old English manuscripts were not checked).
