European annals for 1052 to 1053

Read the Annals of Ulster entries for 1051 to 1054 in full: kings killed, abbots died, a lake that moved in 1054, no sky signs. A compiled British and Irish list has only a gale on 21 December 1053 and the Rossdalla tower of fire in April 1054. The Anatolian and Constantinople catalogue is empty from 988 to 1097. Still unread: Fritz 1873 (the scan is behind a viewer that serves page images), Hermann of Reichenau's chronicle, which ends in 1054 and records sky events, and the Islamic chronicle catalogue (paywalled). Result so far: Europe is quiet for the winter of 1052 to 1053.
