It was also among the centuries endured by [[Ashildr]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'') a [[9th century]]<ref>In ''The Woman Who Lived'', which is set in the year [[1651]], Ashildr mentions having had 800 years of adventure.</ref> [[Viking]] girl who was rendered effectively [[immortality|immortal]] when she was brought back to life by the [[Twelfth Doctor]] through a self-repairing [[Mire]] [[repair kit]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'')
As with most centuries of the first two millennia, the 15th century was home to Jack Harkness, Amy Pond and an Auton duplicate of Rory Williams. A version of Jack from around the time of the deaths of Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper existed in this century, having been buried alive in the 1st century by his brother, Gray. He perpetually died and resurrected an unknown number of times in an earthen tomb underneath Cardiff. (TV: Exit Wounds) Meanwhile, a near-dead Amy Pond was kept alive inside the Pandorica, beginning in the 2nd century. An Auton version of Rory kept vigil near her the entire time. They both awaited a moment in the mid-1990s when a young Amelia Pond would touch the outside of the Pandorica and restore Amy to full health. (TV: The Big Bang)
It was substantially unclear whether the events of the subsequent Big Bang Two erased Amy and Rory's presence in the 15th century. This ambiguity was caused, in part, because the non-Auton, married Rory Williams claimed to have remembered being "made of plastic" at his wedding reception, suggesting that, at least inasmuch as he was concerned, he and Amy were present in the 15th century. (TV: The Big Bang) Amy seemed to also remember those events, and displayed a fondness for the Auton Rory both during her honeymoon (TV: A Christmas Carol) and during a kind of lullaby to her newborn child Melody Pond. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)
