1. Marched into Benevento

   0787-01-01 · Benevento, Campania, Italy

   

   After reaching Italy during the winter of 786–787, Charlemagne advanced into the southern Lombard Duchy of Benevento and compelled Duke Arechis to submit. The march occurred during the Italian expedition spanning 786–787; the card uses 787 because the southern operations and surviving charters belong to that year.
