For those who are interested, it's the something anniversary of the Battle of Fulford, near York, where King Harald Hardraada defeated a force raised by the northern earls, the first of three incredibly important battles in the year 1066.

Fulford is completely unknown in public circles, and is even quite unknown in medievalists circles. Nevertheless, it was an incredibly important battle, and some have argued there were more combatants involved there than at Stamford Bridge or even Hastings.

I said:

...it's the something anniversary of the Battle of Fulford

And Halv did the simple subtraction that indicates it is the 940th anniversary.
