Events
By place
Byzantine Empire
- August 29 – Emperor Basil I (the Macedonian) dies from a fever contract after a hunting accident. He is succeeded by the 19-year-old Leo VI, a son of former emperor Michael III, as sole ruler (basileus) of the Byzantine Empire. After his coronation Leo reburies, with great ceremony, the remains of his father in the imperial mausoleum within the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.[1]
Europe
- October – Siege of Paris: Count Odo slips through Viking-controlled territory to ask king Charles the Fat for support. He returns with a relief force, and reaches safety within the walls. Charles arrives later with a large army, and establishes a camp at Montmartre. After negotiations he promise the Vikings tribute (Danegeld) and allows them to sail up the River Seine to over-winter in Burgundy.
Britain
- King Alfred the Great of Wessex recaptures London from the Danish Vikings and renames it Lundenburh. Slightly upstream from London Bridge he builds a small harbor called Queenhithe. Alfred hands the town over to his son-in-law Æthelred, lord of Mercia. A street system is planned out in the town, with boundaries of 1,100 yards from east to west and around 330 yards from north to south.[2]
