Events [ edit ]

Emperor Leo III confiscates the papal territories in Sicily and Calabria (Southern Italy ), from which Pope Gregory III derives most of his income tax . He transfers ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the former Praetorian prefecture of Illyricum to Anastasius , patriarch of Constantinople . Gregory begins his support of a revolt in Italy against iconoclasm . By now the break between the papacy and the Byzantine Empire is almost complete. ^[1]
Arab-Byzantine Wars : Arab forces under Mu’awiya ibn Hisham penetrate deep into Anatolia and conquer the cities of Antalya , Doralyum and Afyonkarahisar . These conquests differ from previous ones, as Arab military settling occurs in them, making them a base to raid Byzantium.

Duke Eudes of Aquitaine , aged almost 80, abdicates and retires to a monastery . His lands are divided between his sons Hunald I and Hatton, who continue the conflict with Charles Martel , mayor of the palace of Neustria and Austrasia . In battles at Benest in Charente and La Rochefoucauld (near Angouleme ), Charles probably defeats the Aquitainians . He also campaigns against the Burgundians . ^[2]
Umayyad conquest of Hispania : Muslim forces under Abd al-Malik ibn Katan al-Fihri , governor ( wali ) of Al-Andalus , cross the Pyrenees and ravage both sides of the mountains. He establishes colonies along the Ebro Valley , and within Basque territory. The Moorish main military efforts are in Catalonia , Aragon , Navarre and Septimania (Southern France ), strengthening the towns already in their hands. ^[3]
Duke Audelais of Benevento and his minor son Gisulf are deposed by King Liutprand of the Lombards . He is succeeded by Gregory , who becomes ruler of Benevento .
