Politics and world events

Byzantine Empire

Histamenon of Nicephorus and his foster son Basil

After the death of the Byzantine emperor Romanos II on March 15th, his general Nikephoros Phokas returns to Constantinople to defend himself against the intrigues of the minister Joseph Bringas . With the help of the imperial widow and regent Theophanu and the Patriarch of Constantinople , he was given supreme command of the Eastern Army , by which he was proclaimed emperor. He then marches back to Constantinople, where in the meantime his supporters, led by Basileios Lakapenos , have overthrown Bringas. Thanks to his popularity in the army, Nikephorus II was crowned emperor alongside Romanos' little sons Basil and Constantine and - despite the opposition of the Patriarch Polyeuktus - married their mother Theophanu. Nikephoros made his younger brother Leon the Kuropalates and thus the most important advisor at the court.

Holy Roman Empire / Italy

Beginning of the year: Emperor Otto I leaves Rome and goes to Pavia to lead the campaign against Berengar II . This retreats to the San Leo Castle near San Marino .

October: Otto breaks off the siege of Berengar that has been going on for the whole summer and goes back to Rome. Johannes and Adalbert flee. Otto obtained an oath from the Romans as soon as he moved in that he would never elect or consecrate a pope before they had obtained the approval or vote of the emperor and his fellow king.
