Events
- First Shinto shrines built in Japan.
- End of the Sung dynasty in China.
- Chinese chronicles record a memorial sent by the "King of Japan" (possibly the Emperor Yuryaku), who describes himself as "Supreme Director of Military Affairs in Japan and Korea" to the Court of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Chinese Emperor responds by confirming the Japanese dynasty in those titles. This is the earliest verifiable date in Japanese history.
- Verina, mother-in-law of Byzantine emperor Zeno attempts to kill Illus for turning against Basiliscus, her brother. The revolt is led by her son-in-law Marcian and the Ostrogoth warlord Theoderic Strabo, but Illus again proved his loyalty to Zeno by quashing the revolt.
