Events

January 11 – Ex-emperor Staurakios, a son of Nikephoros I, dies of putrefaction in his wounds (see 811) in a monastery. He has reigned only two months and eight days, before being exiled by senior officials in Constantinople.
Emperor Michael I re-opens peace negotiations with the Franks, and recognises Charlemagne as emperor (basileus) of the Frankish Empire. In exchange for this recognition, Venice is returned to the Byzantine Empire.
Byzantine–Bulgarian War: The Bulgars led by Krum, ruler (khan) of the Bulgarian Empire, launch an invasion against the Byzantines. They capture the fortress cities of Develt and Mesembria near the Black Sea.^[1]

Charlemagne conquers Catalonia as far south as the River Ebro and the Balearic Islands. The counties come under the rule of Bera, count of Barcelona. He signs a three year peace treaty with the Caliphate of Córdoba.
Charlemagne issues the Capitulare de villis, concerning the rights of a feudal landholder and the services owed by his dependants. It contains also the names of some 89 plants, of which the most are used medically.
The Republic of Amalfi sends galleys to support the Byzantine general (strategos) of Sicily, Gregorio, against the Aghlabid invaders. It is one of the earliest evidence of the independence of the city.^[2]

Fourth Fitna: forces loyal to al-Ma'mun led by Tahir ibn Husayn blockade Baghdad, which is loyal to al-Ma'mun's brother, Caliph al-Amin, and begin the year-long Siege of Baghdad.

The Chinese government takes over the issuing of paper bank drafts, the ancestor of paper money.
