Rome, A.D. 69?  More like 7 months, 3 months, 8 months, though.

England, 1066 and 1470-1?  Again, a little more than 6, though the
latter at least had Fall Crown and Spring Crown events rotating

Englandrealm.  Basically, it's the newsletter if the actual Middle
Ages had been like the SCA.  "From King Hardecanute son of Canute,
greetings!  As the winds of winter whistle across the lands, it is
time to send in your letters of intent for Crown Tourney ..."
