John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, invades France with an army that fans out from Calais to Bordeaux (see 1372). Now 33, the duke meets with stout resistance from the forces of Charles V.
The mercenary knights Sir John Hawkwood and Enguerrand de Coucy leave Ferrara in April with 800 men (see 1372); financed by Pope Gregory XI, they cross the Po to Stellata and skirmish with the Milanese forces of Bernabo Visconti before withdrawing under pressure to Cremona (see 1374).
Castilian forces sent by Enrique II burn Lisbon in Enrique's war with both Portugal and Aragon (see 1374).
The Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV of Luxembourg annexes Brandenburg to Bohemia.
Laos's royal ministers depose the king Fa Ngoun (Fa Ngum) after a 20-year reign of territorial expansion in which he has extended the borders of Lan Xang to cover the Black River valley and the northern and eastern edges of the Khorat Plateau, administering the large area through personal relationships with a multitude of local chiefs and rulers. They exile Fa Ngoun to the principality of Nan in what later will be Siam and he will die there next year at age 58 (approximate); his eldest son Oun (or Un) Heuan, 17, succeeds to the throne and will reign until his death in 1417 as Sam Saen Thai, accepting daughters of the rulers of neighboring vassal states as his concubines in order to maintain friendly relations.
The Swedish mystic Birgit or Birgitta (Brigid, or Bridget) returns to Rome from the Holy Land and dies July 23 at age 70 (approximate), having founded the Birgittine order that will grow to have more than 80 convents throughout Europe. She will be canonized in October 1391 and be Sweden's patron saint.

Transportation
The first record of a canal lock in the West, many believe, describes a lock at Vreeswijk in Holland (the Netherlands) built this year, although others think the first Western locks were constructed a few years later in Italy or over 100 years earlier at Sparendam, Holland. Canal locks had been known in China for almost 400 years. See also 1253 Transportation. 1395 Transportation.
