Actually, nobody seemed to be expecting the end of the world in AD 1000.
The idea that they _did_ appears to be a Renaissance fiction, just like
"droit de seigneur" (which apparently didn't happen either: I mean, not
as something that happened *legally.*)

Those interested could read CENTURY'S END by Hillel Schwarz, which came
out a couple of years ago and is very well-researched.
