Events
By place
Europe
- August 22 – Battle of Jengland: Duke Erispoe takes command of the Breton forces after his father Nominoe, king of Brittany, has died. He continues a offensive against the Franks in alliance with Lambert II of Nantes. In Ille-et-Vilaine near Grand-Fougeray (Brittany) Erispoe defeats a Frankish-Saxon army (4,000 men) led by king Charles the Bald.[1]
- Treaty of Angers: Charles the Bald meets Erispoe in Angers and acknowledges him as "king of Brittany". He recognizes the authority of Breton rule over the areas around Nantes, Rennes and Pays de Retz which become part of the Breton March, a border zone. Erispoe takes the oath to Charles as king of the West Frankish Kingdom (but not an hommage lige which would be an allegiance). To mark the sovereignty of the Breton state, the future Dukes of Brittany are crowned as "Duke, king in their lands".[2]
- September – King Pepin II of Aquitaine is captured by forces of count Sans II Sancion and handed over to Charles the Bald. He is detained in the monastery of Saint Medard in Soissons.[3]
- Emperor Lothair I meets with his (half) brothers Louis the German and Charles the Bald in Meerssen (modern-day Netherlands) to continue the system of "con-fraternal government".
- King Íñigo Arista of Pamplona dies after a 27-year reign. He is succeeded by his son García Íñiguez as king of Pamplona (later Navarra).
Britain
- Danish Viking raiders enter the Thames Estuary and plunder Canterbury and London. They land at Wembury near Plymouth but are defeated by Anglo-Saxon forces led by king Ethelwulf of Wessex. His eldest son Æthelstan of Kent, accompanied by Ealdorman Ealhhere attacks a Viking fleet off the coast at Sandwich and captures nine of the enemy vessels while the remainder flees.[4]
Arabian Empire
- Bagrat II Bagratuni, Armenian prince of Arab-ruled Arminiya, is captured by the Abbasid army and is brought to the caliphal capital of Samarra.[5][6]
China
- Suleiman al-Tajir, Muslim merchant and traveler, visits China during the Tang Dynasty. He observes the manufacturing of Chinese porcelain at Guangzhou and writes of his admiration for its transparent quality. Suleiman also describes the mosque at Guangzhou, its granaries, its local government administration, some of its written records, and the treatment of travellers, along with the use of ceramics, rice-wine, and tea (approximate date).
