French soldier Jean de Béthencourt returns to the Canary Islands with the title of king, granted by Castile's Enrique III in exchange for homage (see 1402). He also has a bull from the antipope Benedict XIII at Avignon recognizing his conquest. Gadifer de La Salle has explored and taken possession of the islands in Béthencourt's absence, he feels betrayed, the two appeal to Enrique for arbitration of their dispute, Enrique rules in Béthencourt's favor, and Gadifer returns to France, where he will live until his death in 1415. Béthencourt brings in Norman peasants to populate the islands (see 1406).
Tamerlane returns to Samarkand, provisions an expedition with a view to conquering China, and sets out at the end of December (see 1402; 1405).
Pope Boniface IX dies at Rome October 1 at age 49 (approximate) after a 15-year reign in which he has granted indulgences and given preferments to the highest bidders in his zeal to fill the Church's coffers. He is succeeded by Cosimo Cardinal de' Migliorati, 68, who will reign until 1406 as Innocent VII.
