501- Wedding of the Vandal king Trasamundo with Amalafrida, daughter of the Ostrogoth king Theodoric, who gives a part of Sicily as a dowry. In the British Isles the small principalities that emerged after the abandonment of the territory by the Western Roman Empire have been settling and taking shape, Fergus Mor from the northeast of Ireland leaves with some Scots towards Caledonia, present-day Scotland, and founds the Gaelic kingdom of Dalriada. The Saxons for their part are divided into different clans, that of the South Saxons in Sussex with their capital in Selesie, that of the Central Saxons based in London and that of the West Saxons, ruled by Cerdic, who tries to conquer Hampshire. Another Germanic tribe, the Angles, founds the kingdom of Mercia in the Trent Valley and the kingdom of Lindsay in north Lincolnshire. The Visigoths seize the city of Arles from the Burgundians. In Eastern Europe: the Slavic tribes of Krivichi and Dregovichi arrive in Belarus, while in Ukraine the Slavs are predominant and also spread through the Balkans after the withdrawal of the Longobardi and Gepids from the Danube basin.
