717

714–717Frankish Kingdom [law and government]The Frankish mayor of the palace, Pepin II the Stout, dies. After three years of civil war, his illegitimate son Charles Martel the Hammer makes himself undisputed ruler of the Frankish kingdom, uniting Neustria and Austrasia. Like his father before him, Charles rules in the capacity of mayor of the palace, maintaining the Merovingian king, Chilperic III, as a powerless figurehead.
716–717Byzantine Empire [political events]The Byzantine emperor Anastasius II is deposed while attempting to discipline his army. He is followed, unwillingly, by Theodosius III, who abdicates the following year in favour of the general of the army in Asia Minor and a saviour of the Empire, Leo III the Isaurian.
717Arab Caliphate, Byzantine Empire [wars]The Arabs make their last and greatest effort to take Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. The city's walls and defenders both hold out through a winter siege and the Arabs retreat with heavy losses.
