* Emperor [[Zeno (emperor)|Zeno]] regains power from the usurper [[Leontius (usurper)|Leontius]] and the [[Isauria]]n patrician [[Illus]], who are captured and executed, ending a 4-year [[rebellion]] (see [[484]]).

* Among the peoples who live on the south bank of the [[Danube]] in ''[[Noricum ripense]]'' and who are ''de facto'' ruled by the [[Rugii]], whose empire has its centre near [[Krems an der Donau|Krems]] on the north bank, are Romii who had been evacuated earlier from Danube settlements above the [[River Enns]]. They include members of the [[Severinus of Noricum|Severin]] [[convent]].
