England's Edward III commissions the Bishop of Winchester and others February 8 to make overtures to Margaret of Flanders, widow of the late Philip, duke of Burgundy (see 1361). Her father, Count Louis, approves the marriage of Margaret to Edward's son Edmund of Langley, now 20, but France's Jean II persuades Pope Innocent VI to withhold the necessary dispensation and the duchy of Burgundy comes into possession of Jean, who will give it to his son Philippe next year.
Luigi (Louis) of Naples returns to the mainland to suppress a revolt by his barons but dies suddenly at his native Naples May 26 at age 41, having regained much of Sicily, including Palermo, in a reign that has lasted nearly 10 years. His widow, Joanna of Naples, now 35, marries Jaime III, king of Majorca, who will die in 1375 without having spent much time in Naples (see 1376).
Denmark's Valdemar IV Atterdag defeats the Hanseatic League's fleets at Helsingborg (see 1361; 1363).
Norway's Haakon VI Magnusson is named joint king of Sweden following the death of his brother Erik, who has rebelled against the rule of their father, Magnus VII Eriksson (see 1364). Now 23, Haakon gives Finns equal rights with the rest of his kingdom including the right to participate in royal elections.
The Byzantine city of Adrianople (Edirne) falls to the Ottoman forces of Murad I; it will be the Ottoman capital until 1453 (see 1371).
Sweden's Magnus VII Eriksson sends an ill-fated expedition to look for would-be colonists who have failed to reach Greenland (see 982; 1262). The expedition may enter what will later be called Hudson's Bay (see 1610).
England's courts adopt English as the language of pleading and judgment, but legal French continues to be used for documents.
Poetry: The Vision of William concerning Piers the Plowman (The Vision of Piers Plowman) will be written in the next 30 years, probably by English poet William Langland (or Langley), now 31 (approximate), who will speak of "Lombards of Lucques that liven by lone as Jews" (see commerce, 1290; 1306).
The Palace of the Popes at Avignon is completed after 28 years of construction.
