Right then, here is the new version of my collaborative, 1KY. In the tradition of XXth Century, 50 years, XXI Century, and 100 Years, this is a collaborative timeline, in this case lasting from 1001 AD to 2001 AD. Given the huge scope of such an undertaking, there will be a few groundrules in place:

1. A post will not be considered canon until 24 hours have passed, during which another poster (myself included) could voice an objection. In the interest of fairness, my own posts will be subjected to this rule.
2. Every week, an overview of the world will be posted along with the most up to date version of the timeline, with requests for updates in regions or fields that are lacking. (I don't actually expect much for the Americas, but Asia, at least, should get as much love as Europe)
3. In the interest of originality, Vinland cannot survive. This is to ensure that our TL does not become just another "Vinland TL."
4. Nothing ASB - no aliens, magic, time travel, et cetera.
5. No foreshadowing - ex. If your post is in 1037, don't reference 1076 unless 1076 has already been laid out. Otherwise you restrict other posters.
6. A year must have one event minimum. There is no maximum limit. At 1600 this will change to every month must have an event.
7. The butterfly effect will be gradually enforced, so Anselm of Pavia could appear, Genghis Khan might appear, and Kurt Cobain just won't.
8. Above all, have fun!

Now let's get thsi (re)started:

1001: Robert II, king of France, falls from his horse and dies while on his way to his third wedding. His uncle Odo Henry Capet becomes King Eudes I.
