Events

Byzantine Empire

Europe

  • The Franks, Merovingians and Carolingians successively control most of Europe, while strong feudal lords rise in power to gain the allegiance of the people.
  • The Lombards under King Agilulf expand into Northern Italy, establishing a settlement with the Franks and maintaining intermittent relationships with Rome.
  • Liuva II, age 18,[1] succeeds his father Reccared I as king of the Visigoths. Reccared dies a natural death at the capital in Toledo[2] after a 15-year reign.

Arts and sciences

Agriculture

  • Food production increases in northern and Western Europe as a result of agricultural technology introduced by the Slavs, who employ a lightweight plow with a knife blade (coulter), that cuts deep into the soil at grassroots level, together with a shaped board, or "moldboard", that moves the cut soil to one side.

Religion

Births

Deaths

  • March 13 or 600 Leander, bishop of Seville
  • Agilulf, bishop of Metz
  • Reccared I, king of the Visigoths (b. 559)
