Time & time again, big events throughout history share a peculiar synchronicity with the # 911.

"is the northwesternmost of the eighteen regions of France, roughly coextensive with the historical Duchy of Normandy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy_(administrative_region)

A lot of death and destruction seems to be associated with the # 911.

"The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Normandy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Chartres_(911) A history of war, death and destruction.

"Rollo in June 911 unsuccessfully laid siege to Chartres. He was defeated in battle on 20 July 911.[1] In the aftermath of this conflict, Charles the Simple decided to negotiate a treaty with Rollo.

The talks, possibly led by Heriveus, the archbishop of Reims, resulted in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Clair-sur-Epte
