Tree rings tell ya nothin’, unless they correspond to, for example, a core taken from an old rafter in some structure that happens to have survived at least that long. There aren’t that many, as one would expect. Also, dendrochronology as used with RC dating (it was in use before RC dating was discovered) has taken a long time to get data for each given region, and this research takes time each place its done.
When there’s no wiggle-match with the existing data set (which is built on old living trees and older dead trees which overlap the living ones in age, and even older, deader ones which overlap those), my view is, there’s a bias at work, because the item being tested has already been dated based on a faulty chronology, so the dendrochronologists never bother to wiggle-match with (usually) younger data sets.

Everybody knows the Dark Ages were so dark because they hadn’t invented gaslighting yet.
And, the meme production and distribution was dominated by the Goths, who we know today as emo sissy boys.
I am buying 1000 so I can resell them in the height of their popularity.
Ahh...The Great Reset 1.
Maybe the Chinese emperor Chen-tsung, who was in power at the same time as Otto and Sylly, was in on the plot and saw to it that the annals for those years were faked.
