Events
By place
Europe
- Battle of Ostia: An Saracen Arab fleet from Sardinia set sail towards Rome. In response, pope Leo IV forms a coalition of maritime Italian cities, including Naples, Amalfi and Gaeta led by admiral Caesar — which is assembled off the re-fortified port of Ostia — and repels the Saracen marauders. Their navy is scattered, resulting in many sunken vessels. Rome is saved from plunder and the expansion of the Aghlabids.[1]
- Frankish forces under king Charles the Bald invade southern France and conquer the territory of Toulouse. He appoints Fredelo as count (comté) of Toulouse who founds the Rouergue dynasty. Aquitaine is submitted to the West Frankish Kingdom.
