Events
- In the battle of Mons Badonicus , the Romano-British succeed in a victory against the Anglo-Saxons , whose advance in Central England is halted until the 570s. The historicity, the exact year and the exact location of the battle are disputed. Most likely the 490s (503 at the latest) and the Bath area ; the Anglo-Saxons should AELLE have led by Sussex, later sources connect on the British side Artus with the battle.
- Pope Gelasius I formulated against Emperor Anastosios I. , Odoacer and Theodoric the ratio of the papacy ( "auctoritas sacrata pontificum") and the Empire ( "regalis potestas") as the two together the world ruling powers within the meaning of the returned him two- Swords theory .
- February 25, 493 : After two years of siege at his residence in Ravenna (" Battle of the Ravens "), Odoacer agrees to peace negotiations with Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths , which provide for joint rule over Italy . Ten days later Flavius Odoacer was killed by Theodoric at a feast.
- 496 : With the Decretum Gelasianum , which is presented at a council in Rome , the church publishes a list of forbidden books.
- around Christmas 498 : Probable date for King Clovis to convert to the Christian faith . Bishop Remigius baptized in Reims . It is of particular importance that the conversion to Christianity takes place in its Catholic form, not to Arianism as with the other Germanic rulers . This favors the amalgamation of the Teutons and the Catholic Romans in the Franconian Empire under Clovis. The year 498 is not certain; 497 or 499 are also possible .
