=== By place ===
==== Byzantine Empire ====
* A Byzantine expeditionary force under [[Staurakios (eunuch)|Staurakios]], chief minister (''[[logothete]]''), begins a campaign against the communities (''[[Sclaveni|Sclaviniae]]'') of [[Greece]]. Setting out from [[Constantinople]], the imperial army follows the [[Thrace|Thracian]] coast into [[Macedonia (region)|Macedonia]], and then south into [[Thessaly]], [[Central Greece (geographic region)|Central Greece]] and the [[Peloponnese]]. Staurakios restores a measure of [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] authority over these areas, and collects [[Looting|booty]] and [[tribute]] from the locals.

==== Europe ====
* [[Mauregatus of Asturias]], illegitimate son of the late king [[Alfonso I of Asturias|Alfonso I]], usurps the [[throne]] after the death of his brother-in-law [[Silo of Asturias|Silo]]. However, the [[nobility]] has elected [[Alfonso II of Asturias|Alfonso II]] at [[Adosinda]]'s (wife of Silo) insistence, but Mauregatus assembles a large army of supporters, and forces Alfonso to flee to [[Álava]] (modern [[Spain]]). Adosinda is put in the [[monastery]] of [[Church of San Juan Apóstol y Evangelista, Santianes de Pravia|San Juan de Pravia]], where she lives out the rest of her life.
* [[April 30]] &ndash; [[Hildegard of the Vinzgau|Hildegard]], wife of King [[Charlemagne]], dies in [[childbirth]] after her ninth confinement in less than 12 years of [[marriage]]. His mother, [[Bertrada of Laon]], dies in the summer and is buried with great [[ceremony]] beside her husband [[Pepin the Short]], in the [[Basilica of St Denis|Abbey of St. Denis]] (modern-day [[Paris]]).
* [[October]] &ndash; Charlemagne marries [[Fastrada]], the 18-year-old daughter of a [[East Francia|Frankish]] count named Rudolph, and makes her his queen at [[Worms, Germany|Worms]]. The probable reason behind the marriage is to solidify a Frankish [[Military alliance|alliance]] east of the [[Rhine]], against the [[Saxons]] in [[Lower Saxony]] (modern [[Germany]]). 
* Winter &ndash; [[Saxon Wars#Middle phase|Saxon Wars]]: Charlemagne defeats the Saxon rebels in a three-day battle next to the [[Hase|Hase River]], and perhaps overruns [[fortification]]s on the [[Wittekindsberg]], before ravaging southern [[Old Saxony|Saxony]]. A [[Frisia]]n uprising against [[Carolingian dynasty|Carolingian]] rule is supported by Duke [[Widukind]].{{sfn|Nicolle|2014|p=20}}
