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. Unrest in Northumbria tempts the exiled king Osred II back to his kingdom from the Isle of Man. His supporters dessert him and he is killed by Æthelred's men at Aynburg. He is buried at Tynemouth Priory.
