WHAT HAPPENED IN 680 AD.

Europe

  • The Bulgars subjugate the country of current-day Bulgaria.
  • Pippin of Herstal becomes Mayor of the Palace.
  • Erwig deposes Wamba to become king of the Visigoths.
  • Perctarit, king of the Lombards, makes his son Cunincpert co-ruler.
  • FRISIAN KINGDOM: Radbod I (Redbad I), 680-719
  • There remain several legends about this famous king. In one Redbad converted to christianity. When he was about to be baptised, he ask the priest, if he would meet his ancestors. The priest said: "No, they are all in hell, but you will be going to heaven." Redbad concluded; "Better to be in hell with my family, than to be alone in heaven." and the king refused to be baptised and followed the pagan tradition.
