Events[edit]
- March 5 – Nasir Khusraw begins the seven-year Middle Eastern journey which he later describes in his book Safarnameh.
- July – Ex-Pope Benedict IX gives up a renewed attempt to reclaim the papal throne.
- December 20 – Pope Gregory VI is accused of simony at the Council of Sutri, and abdicates as pope.

- The original Hildesheim Cathedral is largely destroyed by fire.
- Song Dynasty Chinese judge and magistrate Bao Zheng (Bao Qingtian) writes a memorial to the throne, warning about governmental corruption and a foreseeable bankruptcy of the Chinese iron industry, if increasingly poorer families continued to be listed on the register for iron-smelting households (while more rich households avoid being listed for fear of financial calamity). Apparently the government heeds the warning, and produces more iron product by the year 1078 than China ever had before.
