Events
By place
Europe
- Saxon Wars: King Charlemagne begins an campaign in northern Saxony. He ravages Eastphalian territory as far as the Elbe River while his son, Charles the Younger, defeats a Saxon force in the Lippe Valley. Bad weather hinders Charlemagne's winter campaign in southern Saxony.[1]
- Winter – Charlemagne returns to Eresburg and builds a church, probably on the site of the Irminsul (a pagan religious site). Frankish forces based at Eresburg attack 'rebel' Saxon settlements and take control of the roads. Charlemagne himself takes part in some of these raids.[2]
Arabian Empire
- Abd al-Rahman I, emir of Córdoba (Al-Andalus), begins with the construction of the Prayer Hall, the Great Mosque of Córdoba. He uses the mosque (originally called Aljama Mosque) as an adjunct to his palace and names it in honour of his wife.
Asia
- The Japanese begin a war against the Ainu – in the north on the main island of Honshu. Emperor Kanmu wishes to be free of influence from the Buddhist monasteries around Nara (then called Heijō), and moves the capital to Nagaoka, ending the Nara period.
