==Change of era==
* '''1044''' {{nihongo|''Kantoku gannen''|寛徳元年|}}: The new era name was created to mark an event or series of events. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in ''Chokyu'' 5, on the 24th day of the 11th month of 1044.<ref name="b311">Brown, p. 311.</ref>

==Events of the ''Kantoku'' era==
* '''1045''' (''Kantoku 2, 16th day of the 1st month''):  Emperor Go-Suzaku abdicated; and his eldest son received the succession (''senso'') on the same day. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Go-Reizei formally accedes to the throne (''sokui'').<ref>Brown, p. 311; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). ''Jinnō Shōtōki'', p. 44; a distinct act of ''senso'' is unrecognized prior to [[Emperor Tenji]]; and all sovereigns except [[Empress Jitō|Jitō]], [[Emperor Yōzei|Yōzei]], [[Emperor Go-Toba|Go-Toba]], and [[Emperor Fushimi|Fushimi]] have ''senso'' and ''sokui'' in the same year until the reign of [[Emperor Go-Murakami]].</ref> The following year, the era name is changed to mark the beginning of Go-Reizei's reign.<ref name="b311" />
