Events
By place
Byzantine Empire
- Spring – Emperor Constantine VI suppresses a rebellion and restores his mother Irene to her former position as co-empress of the Byzantine Empire. The rival factions in Constantinople continue their intrigues against Constantine.
- Battle of Marcellae: Constantine VI leads a Byzantine expeditionary force into northern Thrace. At the border castle of Marcellae near the modern town of Karnobat (Bulgaria), the Bulgarians under Kardam defeat the Byzantines.
Europe
- The Westphalians rise up against the Saxons in response to a forcible recruitment for wars against the Avars. However, Pepin, sub-king of Northern Italy and son of king Charlemagne continues the war and wins considerable booty from the Avars.[1]
- Charlemagne banishes his oldest (illegitimate) son Pepin the Hunchback to a monastery at Prüm, for a rebellion against him. A group of Frankish nobles plan to kill Charlemagne and his wife Hildegarde, but the conspiracy is ultimately discovered.
Britain
- September – King Æthelred I of Northumbria marries princess Ælfflæd, daughter of king Offa of Mercia, at Catterick.
