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 in the ninth lunar month of Yuanyou 8 (AD 1093), on the wuyin day, the Grand Empress Dowager (太皇太后) died.
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 span does not name her; the annals later in the same year enter her posthumous title as Empress Xuanren Shenglie (宣仁聖烈皇后).

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Ingram/Giles translation) records under 1093 that during Lent King William lay so sick at Gloucester that he was reported dead, and that he transferred the archbishopric of Canterbury, which he had kept in his own hand, to Anselm, formerly Abbot of Bec, and gave the bishopric of Lincoln to Robert his chancellor.
Limits: A monastic chronicle known here through the 19th-century Ingram/Giles English translation; the Old English text was not checked. The record is what the Chronicle says, not independent confirmation. The Chronicle dates the grant only by its context within the 1093 entry (the king's illness in Lent); no day is given.
