==== Europe ====
* [[January 6]] &ndash; The 17-year-old [[Philip IV of France|Philip IV]] ('''the Fair''') is crowned king of [[France in the Middle Ages|France]] at [[Reims]]. He settles the Aragonese conflict (see [[1285]]), and intensifies his predecessors' efforts to reform and rationalize the administration of the realm. Philip persists in reforms, which strengthen the monarchy's position in [[Europe]]. The [[gabelle]] &ndash; a tax on [[salt]] in the form of a [[state monopoly]] &ndash; will become immensely unpopular and grossly unequal, but persist until [[1790]].<ref>Barber, Malcolm (1978).
