1084: Henry IV enters Rome after a siege, where he is officially crowned King of the Romans by Clement III.

1085, the English crown sends agents out to account for all property held by all shires in England, to calculate taxes, and dues. It's named the Doomsday Book, as there was no mechanism to dispute what the book recorded, and was considered inalterable.
1086, the Doomsday Book is completed.
DE/FF-1087 USS Kirk. Instrumental in the evacuation of South Vietnamese service members after the fall of Saigon ended the invasion and subjugation of the Republic of Vietnam, and its people. The final group of survivors were literally dropped onto the deck of the Kirk, and the chinnok that had ferried them over was ditched in the sea by the pilot who, grabbed his giant brass balls, and jumped out into the ocean, to be rescued as there was no longer any room to land the aircraft.

1088 University of Bologna is established. This is the oldest known, continuously running, university in the world.

1089 "is a square number (33 squared), a nonagonal number, a 32-gonal number, a 364-gonal number, and a centered octagonal number. 1089 is also the first reverse-divisible number."

1091 An F4 tornado sucks the London Bridge up, and spits it out all over the place. (You've heard of London Bridges falling down? It's plural for a reason.)

1092 AD Emperor Alexios I (Komnenos) bribes one of Kilij Arslan's (sultan of the Sultanate of Rum) officials to recover Sinope (the capital of Paphlagonia), and neighboring coastal regions. He uses the Byzantine fleet to defeat the Seljuk navy off the coast of Cius in Bithynia.

1093 feet is the height of the Tokyo Tower, and the second tallest structure in Japan.

1094 Duncan II (son of the late King Malcolm III) invades England at the head of an army of Norman knights Scotland, aided by his half-brother Edmund. Donold III mobilizes his army and kills Duncan II in battle in the Lowlands. He re-takes the Scottish throne, Edmund sides with Donald as co-ruler and is named as heir as he has no children. (Very Diplomacy there.)

1096: Peter the Hermit kickstarts the People's Crusade, a group of about 40,000 peasants from France and Germany that walked all the way across Europe and Byzantium, only to be massacred in the Battle of Civetot by the Seljuk Turks later that year, near Nicaea.

1097 AD The Crusaders defeat a Seljuk army led by Kilij Arslan I, ruler of the Sultanate of Rum, who wants revenge for the capture of Nicaea. During the battle, many Crusaders are killed but the Seljuk Turks are forced to flee and abandon their tents and treasure after being surprised by the arrival of a second Crusader army.

1098AD. A monk in the city of Antioch, had a vision, that led him to a lance he claims pierced the side of Jesus (called the Lance of Longinus). The Crusaders rallied behind the holy symbol, and broke the siege, driving the Suljuk army into retreating to Mosul.

1099AD. The Crusades kick off, fully.

1100 Angel number that means the Angels are supporting you to do something new, and you should take advantage of the opportunity to start a new venture. (I mean, I guess this a better reason than because you hate your job and life?)

1102AD Valencia (in Spain) is caputred by Sultan Yusuf ibn Tashfin.

1105AD The Almoravid emir, Yusuf ibn Tashfin (Mentioned in 1102), sends a maritime expedition to Palestine from Sevilla to ward off the Crusaders and perhaps to reconquer Jerusalem. The fleet of about seventy ships rushes into a storm in the Mediterranean Sea, and is never seen again.

The song is ‘London Bridge is falling down’ ie one
Bridge.

1108AD The Taira and Minamoto clans join forces to rule Japan, after defeating the warrior monks of the Enryaku-ji temple near Kyoto. The Taira replaces many Fujiwara nobles in important offices – while the Minamoto gains more military experience by bringing parts of Northern Honshu under Japanese control (approximate date).

Some illiterate Englishman choosing to transcribe the song as "London Bridge IS falling down" is as wrong as someone commenting on this game without at least posting a number game entry. If the phrase was meant to contain the word IS, instead of Bridge's, the word THE would have been placed at the beginning of the phrase.
The song came about because there have been rebuilt half a dozen or more times, sometimes completely, other times only partially.

1109 AD After a 7-year siege Tripoli falls to the Crusaders. Fakhr al-Mulk Radwan, the Seljuk sultan of Aleppo, submits to Bertrand of Toulouse. He establishes the County of Tripoli, the fourth Crusader state in the Middle East. Bertrand deposes Raymond's nephew William II as nominal count of Tripoli, who dies of an arrow wound sustained during the siege.

Ah, as the god father of soul once said “I got you (I feel good)”, perhaps the illiterate American should’ve said “I’ve got you (I feel well)”, I don’t know I’m no expert I still fail to understand “ob-la-di, ob-la-da” and “de do do do, de da da da” as some more illiterate Englishmen once said. Perhaps sure egregious floating of the laws of grammar should be reported somewhere. But ‘Whom are you going to call?”

1093 - number of times I’ve had to school people on grammar today.
