Copying my comment here from the post over in !discuss@discuss.online:
Thought this was interesting. It references another event I hadn't heard of:
The model confirmed that the detected solar event was approximately 18% stronger than the notorious AD 775 event—until now the strongest solar storm ever recorded in tree-ring archives.

Over on HN, someone wrote this:

Not something I've heard about before, but that would be super interesting
