* Pipinus Theodoaldum filium Godefridi ducis debellat.
* Girid perempto: Hiscens principatur Sarracenis anno uno.
* Petrus Damascenus episcopus & Petrus Mavimenus in Syria martyrizantur a Sarracenis:
* Persecutione post lapidationem Stephani prothomartyris mota / Maximinus unus de 70 Christi discipulis ad Gallias transiens Mariam Magdalenam secum adduxit / & eam apud Aquensem urbem cui praesidebat sepelivit defunctam. Aquensi vero urbe a Sarracenis desolata corpus ipsius Mariae a Girando comite Burgundiae ad cenobium Viceliacum a se constructum transfertur. Quanquam aliqui scribant quod hoc apud Ephesum quiescat / nullum super se tegimen habens.

745

* Pepin defeats Theodoaldus the son of Duke Godefridus.
* After Girid has been killed, Hiscens rules the Saracens for one year.
* Bishop Peter Damascene and Peter Mavimenus are martyred in Syria by the Saracens:
* Motivated by the persecution following the stoning of Protomartyr Stephen, Maximinus, one of the seventy disciples of Christ, in travelling to Gaul, took with him Mary Magdalene, and buried her corpse in the city of Aix-en-Provence, of which he was the governor. After Aix had been laid waste by the Saracens, the body of that same Mary was transferred by Girandus, Count of Burgundy, to the monastery of Vézelay, which he himself had constructed, although some writers say that this body lies at rest in Ephesus, with no covering over it.
