Events
By place
Byzantine Empire
- Thomas the Slav, Byzantine general (tourmarchos), leads a revolt and secures control over most of the Byzantine themes (provinces) in Anatolia. He gets recognition from the Abbasid Caliphate, and concludes a peace treaty with caliph Al-Ma'mun. Emperor Michael II is blockaded in Constantinople, Thomas assembles troops, gathers supplies, and builds siege machines but his first attack on the capital fails. He crosses his fleet from Abydos to Thrace.
Europe
- February – Duke Borna of Croatia dies after a 11-year reign as vassal of the Frankish Empire. He is succeeded by his nephew, Vladislav.[1] Emperor Louis I recognizes him as prince of Dalmatia and Liburnia at the Council of Aachen.
- October – Lothair I, co-emperor and eldest son of Louis I, marries Ermengarde in Thionville (north-eastern France). She is the daughter of count Hugh of Tours.
Britain
- King Coenwulf of Mercia dies in Basingwerk near Holywell (Wales), while preparing for another assault on Powys, and is buried in Winchcombe Abbey. He is briefly succeeded by his son Cynehelm, but is killed, probably fighting the Welsh, though supposedly through the treachery of his sister Cwenthryth. The Mercian throne passes to Coenwulf's brother, Ceolwulf I.
