Germanic empires in Europe
In a battle on the Unstrut , the Merovingian Franks defeat the Thuringians . It is controversial whether Saxony will also take part. The Thuringian royal family will come to an end in the next few years through flight, deportation and murder. The Kingdom of Thuringia is smashed and partially incorporated into the Franconian Empire , which thus considerably expands its sphere of influence to the east. The exact location of the battle has not yet been proven archaeologically. Widukind von Corvey mentions Burgscheidungen as a battle site. This is doubted by some scientists with reference to the still missing localization.
