The year 1101 was notable in medieval history, particularly in Europe. It was during this time that the Crusades were ongoing, with various European powers engaged in military campaigns in the Holy Land. The year also saw the continuation of feudalism, which shaped social and political structures across the continent. In England, King Henry I ruled, having established a strong monarchy after the turbulent reign of his brother, William II. The year 1101 also marked the beginning of the Anarchy, a civil war that would later erupt in England, leading to significant conflicts over the throne.
