Europe
- May 25 – King Alfonso VI (the Brave) recaptures Toledo from the Moors, and occupies other cities such as Madrid and Talavera (including the castle of Aledo).

- Summer – Robert Guiscard heads for the Ionian Islands despite an epidemic among troops on Corfu. His son, Roger Borsa, lands on Cephalonia but Guiscard falls sick as his ship approaches the northernmost headland and is carried ashore, where he dies of fever (on July 17).
