Pisa conquers Sardinia from the Arabs, who have held the island since 720.

Count Boniface of Canossa is assassinated, having shifted his longtime allegiance to the German emperors toward the papal (Guelph) side in the factional dispute that divides Italy; the deaths of his son and older daughter will leave his 6-year-old younger daughter Matilda in sole possession of the vast Tuscan estates established by Boniface's father, Atto Adalbert (see 1054).
