Holy Roman Empire/Italy

On his third campaign to Italy , the German-Roman Emperor Otto I shifted his radius of action to the area south of Rome from February . On trains to Benevento and Capua he accepts homage from the local dukes such as Pandulf I. Since Byzantium claims supremacy over these areas and its rulers see themselves as the only legitimate holders of the imperial title, the conflicts with Emperor Nikephoros Phocas intensify .

Otto I and Pope John XIII. travel together from Rome to Ravenna to celebrate Easter there. In order to promote his dynastic plans, Otto, in a letter written together with the Pope, urges his son Otto II to travel to Rome in the autumn to celebrate Christmas with them. This occurs from Augsburg on the train over the Brenner. In October, father and son meet in Verona and move together to Rome via Ravenna. On December 25, Otto II is crowned co-emperor of the empire in Rome. In the same year, negotiations begin for the twelve-year-old to marry the Byzantine princess Theophanu , who is about the same age .

In return, Kalokyres is said to receive assurances of aid in arms for his own ambitions to become Byzantine Emperor.
  • The campaign of Kievan Rus' under Sviatoslav I across the Balkans begins. Svyatoslav announces the planned relocation of his capital from Kiev to the Bulgarian capital of Preslav on the Danube, because "the center of his empire would be there".

  • 967/972: Boleslav II becomes King of Bohemia .

Scotland

  • Culen , son of the former Scottish king Indulf , rises up against the reigning king Dubh , but is defeated in a field battle at Crief . However, Dubh was not able to savor his victory for long, because shortly afterwards he fell seriously ill and had to give up supervision of the court administration. His subordinates take advantage of this situation and enrich themselves because they think Dubh is on his deathbed. But Dubh recovers and goes to Moray and Ross to restore order there. The traitors will be executed. On the way back south, Dubh stays at Forres Castle where two assassins murder the sleeping king. Culen, likely the mastermind of the murder, becomes King of Scotland .
