The Byzantine emperor John II Comnenus recovers southwestern Anatolia from the Seljuk Turks and then hastens to the Balkans, where the Patzinak Turks are continuing their incursions.
The Concordat of Worms condemns French theologian-philosopher Pierre Abelard, 42, for his teachings of the Trinity, and he is castrated by hirelings (or relatives) of the canon Fulbert, whose niece, Héloïse, now 23, he impregnated when she was 17 and has secretly married. Abelard withdraws to the abbey of St. Denis to become a monk, pursued by his former student, Héloïse, and begins a persecuted life in which he will wander from one monastery to another and found the priory of the Paraclete, where Héloïse will be prioress (see 1140).
