★ April 4 - In the book and film ''Timeline'', time travellers are transported from New Mexico, 2003 to France in this date.
Lord Oliver (an English noble) rules Castlegard, a french village, in the Dordogne valley.
But he is attacked by Arnaut de Cérvole, a French lord. Oliver and English troops begin a retreat at the well-protected castle of La Roque and the battle begins at evening.
