* According to the ''[[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]]'', [[Hengist and Horsa|Hengist]] dies and is succeeded by his son [[Oisc of Kent|Oisc]] as king of [[Kingdom of Kent|Kent]].
* Among the peoples who live on the south bank of the [[Danube]] in ''[[Noricum ripense]]'' and who are ''de facto'' ruled by the [[Rugii]], whose empire has its centre near [[Krems an der Donau|Krems]] on the north bank, are Romii who had been evacuated earlier from Danube settlements above the [[River Enns]]. They include members of the [[Severinus of Noricum|Severin]] [[convent]]. Because some of the Rugii want to fight for East Rome against [[Odoacer]], they destroy the Rugian Empire and allow the Romii to be evacuated to Italy by his brother, [[Hunulf]], in order to prevent the re-establishment of the Rugian Empire by a surviving prince. The northern [[Danubian Limes]] of the Roman Empire are effectively abandoned. Even the relics of [[Severinus of Noricum]] are carried with them.
* The [[Gepids]] capture [[Belgrade]].
