Events
- February 25 : After a two-year siege of his residence in Ravenna (" Battle of the Rabbits "), Odoacer agrees to peace negotiations with the Ostrogoth king , Theodoric .
- February 26th : The Ostrogoths succeed in blocking the port of Ravenna, Classis , through which the city could previously be supplied. The city is threatened with famine.
- February 27th : With the mediation of Archbishop John of Ravenna, a treaty is agreed which provides for joint rule over Italy by Odoacer and Theodoric.
- March 5 : Archbishop Johannes opens the city gates, which were previously closed on Odoacer's instructions, after the conclusion of the contract. Theodoric moves into Ravenna.
- Probably March 15th : Death of Flavius Odoacer, military leader and "King of Italy": He is personally killed by Theodoric at a feast ten days after the Ostrogoths entered Ravenna. As a result, Odoacer's brother Hunulf , who years earlier had risen to become army master in the Eastern Roman Empire , is also killed.
- Theodoric the Great marries Audofleda , the sister of the Frankish king Clovis I. This is the beginning of a systematic marriage policy with which Theodoric wants to build an alliance system with Franks, Burgundians and Visigoths so that his newly won rule in Italy is not endangered by these neighbors.
- The Burgundian part- king Gundobad , who has already killed his brother Godomar I , also eliminates the part-king of Valence , Chilperich II. His daughter Chrodechild escapes and later marries the Frankish king Clovis I.
- Possible date of the battle of Mons Badonicus in Britain (next: 498, 503 and others)
