At the time, it was known as the **Year of the Consulship of [Ecclesius](/source/Claudius_Julius_Ecclesius_Dynamius) and [Sividius](/source/Rufius_Achilius_Sividius)** (or, less frequently, **year 1241 *[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)***). The denomination 488 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [Anno Domini](/source/Anno_Domini) [calendar era](/source/Calendar_era) became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. ## Events ### By place #### Byzantine Empire - Emperor [Zeno](/source/Zeno_(emperor)) regains power from the usurper [Leontius](/source/Leontius_(usurper)) and the [Isaurian](/source/Isauria) patrician [Illus](/source/Illus), who are captured and executed, ending a 4-year [rebellion](/source/Rebellion) (see [484](/source/484)). - Zeno orders [Theodoric the Great](/source/Theodoric_the_Great) to overthrow his rival [Odoacer](/source/Odoacer), who has established himself as [king of Italy](/source/King_of_Italy) (see [476](/source/476)). He marches with an [Ostrogoth](/source/Ostrogoths) army to the West. #### Europe - According to the *[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle](/source/Anglo-Saxon_Chronicle)*, [Hengist](/source/Hengist_and_Horsa) dies and is succeeded by his son [Oisc](/source/Oisc_of_Kent) as king of [Kent](/source/Kingdom_of_Kent). - Among the peoples who live on the south bank of the [Danube](/source/Danube) in *[Noricum ripense](/source/Noricum_ripense)* and who are *de facto* ruled by the [Rugii](/source/Rugii), whose empire has its centre near [Krems](/source/Krems_an_der_Donau) on the north bank, are Romii who had been evacuated earlier from Danube settlements above the [River Enns](/source/River_Enns). They include members of the [Severin](/source/Severinus_of_Noricum) [convent](/source/Convent). Because some of the Rugii want to fight for East Rome against [Odoacer](/source/Odoacer), they destroy the Rugian Empire and allow the Romii to be evacuated to Italy by his brother, [Hunulf](/source/Hunulf), in order to prevent the re-establishment of the Rugian Empire by a surviving prince. The northern [Danubian Limes](/source/Danubian_Limes) of the Roman Empire are effectively abandoned. Even the relics of [Severinus of Noricum](/source/Severinus_of_Noricum) are carried with them. - The [Gepids](/source/Gepids) capture [Belgrade](/source/Belgrade). #### Persia - [Kavadh I](/source/Kavadh_I) is [crowned](/source/Coronation) by the [nobles](/source/Nobility), and succeeds his blind uncle [Balash](/source/Balash) as the 19th king of [Persia](/source/Sassanid_Empire). #### Asia - [Ninken](/source/Emperor_Ninken), adopted heir of [Seinei](/source/Emperor_Seinei), succeeds his brother [Kenzō](/source/Emperor_Kenz%C5%8D) and becomes new emperor of [Japan](/source/Japan). ### By topic #### Religion - [Peter the Fuller](/source/Peter_the_Fuller) is succeeded by [Palladius](/source/List_of_Patriarchs_of_Antioch) as [patriarch of Antioch](/source/Patriarch_of_Antioch). - [Fravitta](/source/Patriarch_Fravitta_of_Constantinople) becomes [patriarch of Constantinople](/source/Ecumenical_Patriarch_of_Constantinople). ## Births - [He Di](/source/Emperor_He_of_Southern_Qi), emperor of [Southern Qi](/source/Southern_Qi) (d. [502](/source/AD_502)) - [Senán mac Geirrcinn](/source/Sen%C3%A1n_mac_Geirrcinn), Irish saint[1] - [Yu](/source/Empress_Yu_(Northern_Wei)), empress of [Northern Wei](/source/Northern_Wei) (d. [507](/source/507)) ## Deaths - [Balash](/source/Balash), king of the [Persian Empire](/source/Sassanid_Empire) - [Hengest](/source/Hengest_and_Horsa), leader of [Kent](/source/Kingdom_of_Kent) - [Illus](/source/Illus), Byzantine general - [Leontius](/source/Leontius_(usurper)), Byzantine usurper - [Peter the Fuller](/source/Peter_the_Fuller), [patriarch of Antioch](/source/Patriarch_of_Antioch) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Clare People: Saint Senan: Life of St. Senan - St. Patrick foretells the coming of St. Senan"](https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/people/chapter1.htm).
