Scotland
- January 8 – King Edgar (the Valiant) dies at Edinburgh Castle after a 9-year reign. He is succeeded by his brother Alexander I (the Fierce), who is married to Sybilla of Normandy (an illegitimate daughter of King Henry I). A split of unity, between Alexander and his younger brother David I, makes David co-ruler in Lothian and Strathclyde (Southern Scotland). He does not receive the title of king, but of "Prince of the Cumbrians".
England
- August 11 – The Investiture Controversy is resolved, by the reconciliation of Henry I and Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury[1][2][3] and the mass consecration of bishops[4] by Anselm at the royal Palace of Westminster: William Giffard to Winchester, Roger to Salisbury, Reynelm to Hereford, William Warelwast to Exeter and Urban to Llandaff.[2] Roger of Salisbury is also appointed Justiciar in this year.[5]
