Events

Europe

  • Battle of the Boarn: The Franks under Charles Martel, mayor of the palace of Neustria and Austrasia, defeat the Frisians near the mouth of the River Boarn (now the Dutch province of Friesland). During the battle, the Frisian army is beaten and King Poppo is killed.[1] The Franks gain control of the Frisian lands west of the Lauwers (Netherlands), and begin plundering the pagan sanctuaries. The Frisians become Frankish vassals, apart from the tribes living in East Frisia in present day Germany.
  • Umayyad conquest of Gaul: Muslim forces under Abd al-Malik ibn Katan al-Fihri, governor (wali) of Al-Andalus (modern Spain), enter Provence and raid the Rhône Valley. The cities of Avignon, Arles, and probably Marseille are handed over by Count Maurontus, who is in rebellion against Charles Martel.[2]
  • 8 September: Frithubeorht is consecrated Bishop of Hexham.

Mesoamerica

  • Jasaw Chan K'awiil I, ruler (ajaw) of Tikal (Guatemala), dies after a 52-year reign. He is succeeded by his son Yik'in Chan K'awiil, who becomes one of Tikal's most successful and expansionary rulers during the Late Classic period.
  • During the Third Tikal-Calakmul War, K’ak Tiliw Chan Yopaat gives himself the title k’uhul ajaw, thus declaring Quiriguá’s independence from Copán.

Asia

  • On March 23, 734 AD, a large earthquake happened in Qinzhou of Tang Dynasty, now the vicinity of Tianshui City, causing serious seismic disasters as "the earth ruptured and closed again, nearly all the houses damaged, about 4000 people dead, hills changed into valleys, and towns covered by landslip, and so on".[3]

Births

  • Fujiwara no Kurajimaro, Japanese politician (d. 775)
