=== By place ===

==== Byzantine Empire ====
* Emperor [[Leo III the Isaurian|Leo III]] confiscates the papal territories in [[Sicily]] and [[Calabria]] (Southern [[Italy]]), from which [[Pope Gregory III]] derives most of his [[income tax]]. He transfers [[Ecclesiology|ecclesiastical]] jurisdiction in the former [[Praetorian prefecture of Illyricum]] to [[Patriarch Anastasius of Constantinople|Anastasius]], patriarch of [[Constantinople]]. Gregory begins his support of a revolt in Italy against [[Byzantine iconoclasm|iconoclasm]]. By now the break between the [[Pope|papacy]] and the [[Byzantine Empire]] is almost complete.<ref>Duffy, p. 64; Mann, p. 207</ref>
*[[Arab–Byzantine wars|Arab-Byzantine Wars]]: Arab forces under [[Mu'awiya ibn Hisham|Mu’awiya ibn Hisham]] penetrate deep into [[Anatolia]] and conquer the cities of [[Antalya Province|Antalya]], [[Dorylaeum|Doralyum]] and [[Afyonkarahisar]]. These conquests differ from previous ones, as Arab military settling occurs in them, making them a base to raid Byzantium.

==== Europe ====
* Duke [[Odo the Great|Eudes of Aquitaine]], aged almost 80, abdicates and retires to a [[monastery]]. His lands are divided between his sons [[Hunald I]] and Hatton, who continue the conflict with [[Charles Martel]], mayor of the palace of [[Neustria]] and [[Austrasia]]. In battles at [[Benest]] in [[Charente]] and [[La Rochefoucauld, Charente|La Rochefoucauld]] (near [[Angoulême]]), Charles probably defeats the [[Aquitaine|Aquitainians]]. He also campaigns against the [[Kingdom of Burgundy|Burgundians]].<ref>David Nicolle (2008). Poitiers AD 732, Charles Martel turns the Islamic tide (p. 19). {{ISBN|978-184603-230-1}}</ref>
