Events
Politics and world events
Asia
- End of the Persian Tahirid dynasty: It is overthrown and replaced by the Saffarid dynasty after the conquest of the capital Nishapur .
Europe
- Karlmann , son of Charles the Bald , is captured after another uprising against his father and imprisoned in Senlis . A meeting of the West Franconian bishops denies him his spiritual dignity and only allows him to have lay communion. As a result, once again placed in lay status, Karlmann received all the rights of a Carolingian heir to the throne and thus became an important political factor. A new opposition of leading great men against Karl the Kahlen quickly formed, with the aim of liberating Karlmann and presumably enthroning him. After the ruler had quickly put down this renewed uprising, he dealt mildly with the actual conspirators. But he blinds his son, who this time was not personally involved in the uprising , in order to finally deny him the succession to the throne.
Africa
- The Arab chronicler al-Yaqubi describes the Gao Empire of the Songhai as the largest and most powerful empire in West Africa .

The book decoration of the Bible is a major work of the so-called Franco-Saxon school, strongly influenced by the insular book illumination , which developed in the 9th century in what is now northern France and is very different from the courtly Carolingian book illumination.
