Politics and world events

Western Europe

The Franconian nobility chose Waratto as Ebroin's successor as a caretaker in Neustria . He received great support from Audoin , the Bishop of Rouen . Waratto ends the war with Pippin the Middle and recognizes him as Dux of Austrasia . The unity of the Franconian Empire is thereby restored.

Eastern Europe

The Bulgarian Empire under Knjas Asparuch is contractually recognized as an independent state by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV in the summer .
