Europe
- The king's ride by Heinrich II. On the occasion of the king's election in 1002 ends in Diedenhofen , Lorraine , where Heinrich's first big court day takes place on January 15th .
- January: Duke Otto of Carinthia suffers a heavy defeat at the Veronese Klause against Arduin von Ivrea , the King of Italy .
- May 4th : After the death of Hermann II , King Heinrich II takes over for Hermann III. , the still underage son of the Duke, the government of the Duchy of Swabia and thus effectively ousted the Konradines from power. The reason for this is probably not only Hermann's minority, but also his father's opposition to Heinrich in the previous year's election.
- August: When Heinrich II does not keep the promise given to Heinrich von Schweinfurt when the king was elected to enfeoff him with the Duchy of Bavaria , the Schweinfurt feud begins . He allied himself with, among others, the Polish Duke Bolesław Chrobry and Bruno von Augsburg , the king's brother, and there were armed conflicts in the Nordgau , in which the rebels were ultimately defeated. The ducal dignity of Bavaria then goes to Heinrich von Luxemburg , the king's brother-in-law.
- Jaromír and his brother Oldřich overthrow his third brother Boleslav III. and becomes Prince of Bohemia for the first time .
