__NOTOC__ Year 501 ( DI) was a common year starting on Monday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Avienus and Pompeius (or, less frequently, year 1254 ''Ab urbe condita'').

Xiao Baojuan
Xiao Baojuan (蕭寶卷) (483 – 31 December 501), né Xiao Mingxian (蕭明賢), commonly known by his posthumously demoted title of Marquess of DonghunThe term "Donghun" (東昏) does not denote a place, but a derogatory description of Xiao Baojuan. Historically, the Chinese word "Hun" (昏), when used to describe rulers, means "incompetent" or "mediocre". In that context, the title "Marquess of Donghun" can be translated as the "Eastern Incompetent Marquess". (東昏侯), courtesy name Zhizang (智藏), was an emperor of the Southern Qi dynasty of China, during the Northern and Southern dynasties period. He was a violent ruler who executed high-level officials at his whim, and this drew several major rebellions, the last of which, by his general Xiao Yan, overthrew him and eventually his dynasty, with Xiao Yan establishing the Liang dynasty. He is known as the Marquess of Donghun because Xiao Yan demoted him to that title after he was killed in a siege of the capital Jiankang ...

Emperor He of Southern Qi () (488 – 2 May 502; r. 14 April 501– 20 April 502), personal name Xiao Baorong (), courtesy name Zhizhao (), was the last emperor of the Chinese Southern Qi dynasty. He was put on the throne by the generals Xiao Yingzhou () and Xiao Yan in 501 as a competing candidate and substitute for the throne to his violent and arbitrary older brother Xiao Baojuan.

Godegisel
Godegisel (? – 501) was a Burgundian sub-king and son of the Burgundian king Gondioc. Godegisel was the educator and uncle of Clotilde, wife of the Frankish king Clovis I. Beginning in 463 he was a sub-king of Kingdom of the Burgundians. With the help of Clovis, Godegisel attempted to become the king of all the Kingdom of the Burgundians by eliminating his brother Gundobad. Gundobad had previously seized the rest of the kingdom after the assassination of their brother Chilperic II, the father of Clotilde. With the promise of annual tribute and territorial cessions, Clovis agreed to aid Godegisel, and in 500 (or 501) Clovis entered the Burgundian territory, compelling Gundobad to march against the invaders and request his brother's aid. When the armies arrived outside of Dijon, Gundobad found himself fighting both the Franks and his brother. Defeated, Gundobad fled to Avignon, while Godigisel retired to Vienne. Clovis followed Gundobad to Avignon and began besieging it, o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Southern Qi
Qi, known in historiography as the Southern Qi ( or ) or Xiao Qi (), was a Chinese imperial dynasty and the second of the four Southern dynasties during the Northern and Southern dynasties era. It followed the Liu Song dynasty and was succeeded by the Liang dynasty. The main polity to its north was the Northern Wei. History The dynasty began in 479, when Xiao Daocheng forced the Emperor Shun of Liu Song (宋顺帝) into yielding the throne to him, ending Liu Song and starting Southern Qi, as its Emperor Gao. The dynasty's name was taken from Xiao's fief, which roughly occupied the same territory as the Warring States era Kingdom of Qi. The Book of the Qi does not mention whether or not Xiao had any blood relationship to either the House of Jiang or House of Tian, the two dynasties which had previously ruled that kingdom. During its 23-year history, the dynasty was largely filled with instability, as after the death of the capable Emperor Gao and Emperor Wu, Empe ...

Fergus Mór
Fergus Mór mac Eirc (; English: ''Fergus the Great'') was a possible king of Dál Riata. He was the son of Erc of Dalriada. While his historicity may be debatable, his posthumous importance as the founder of Scotland in the national myth of medieval and Renaissance Scotland is not in doubt. Rulers of Scotland from Cináed mac Ailpín until the present time claim descent from Fergus Mór. Early sources There is reference to the Fergus Mór tradition in the Irish notulae, ''Book of Armagh'', although copied in the 9th century it is written in 8th-century language, possibly even 7th-century, predating the supposed invention of myth proposed by Campbell 200 to 300 years later, proving that Fergus Mór is not a product of 10th-century propaganda. The historical record, such as it is, consists of an entry in the ''Annals of Tigernach'', for the year 501, which states: (Fergus Mór mac Eirc, with the people of Dál Riata, held part of Britain, and he died there.) However, the forms ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pompeius (consul 501)
Pompeius (Greek: Πομπήιος, died 532) was a politician of the Byzantine Empire and nephew of the Emperor Anastasius I (reigned 491–518). His family gained political prominence with the accession of Anastasius. Pompeius was consul in 501, and was elevated to the patricianate, probably by Anastasius. He held military office, serving in the Iberian War. He married a woman named Anastasia, and had at least one son. In 532, Pompeius' brother Hypatius was acclaimed emperor by the rioters during the Nika riots; after the riots were put down, both Hypatius and Pompeius were executed. Family He was a son of Secundinus and Caesaria. His mother was a sister of Anastasius I. His father served as Eparch of Constantinople (c. 492) and Roman consul in 511. Secundinus also held the rank of patrician. The main sources for the career of Secundinus are John of Antioch and Theophanes the Confessor. The latter preserved fragments of Theodorus Lector which cover Secundinus. Joannes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Avienus (consul 501)
Flavius Avienus ( 501–509) was a Roman politician during the reign of Theodoric the Great. He held the consulship with Pompeius as colleague in 501. He probably belonged to the '' gens Decia''; he was the son of Caecina Decius Maximus Basilius (consul in 480), and brother of Albinus (consul in 493), Theodorus (consul in 505) and Inportunus (consul in 509). John Moorhead argues that the brothers were on different sides of the Laurentian schism, with Albinus and Avienus supporting Symmachus and Theodore and Inportunus supporting Laurentius. He was a correspondent of Magnus Felix Ennodius; one letter by Ennodius to Avienus has been preserved.Ennodius, ''Epistulae'', III.8. By 507/509, Avienus and his brother Albinus had already become ''patricii''; around this time, but after the death of their father, they were asked to become patrons of the Greens and to appoint a pantomime.

Burgundian Civil War
The Burgundian Civil War was a military conflict between the Burgundian kings Gundobad and Godigisel. The war took place around 500 in the former Roman provinces Gallia Lugdunesis I and Maxima Sequanorum, where a Burgundian state had emerged after the Fall of the Western Roman Empire. The kings were brothers who both controlled a part. Besides the two brothers, the kings of the Franks and Visigoths were involved. Sources The story of this war is briefly described by the bishop of Tours Gregory in his ''Historia Francorum''. This bishop wrote a history of the Franks in the second half of the 6th century, more than 75 years after the events took place. In his report the Burgundians as a neighboring people of the Franks are mentioned sideways - in a negative way. Thanks to this report, the course of the civil war can be reconstructed in broad outlines. However, Gregorius's account has the disadvantage that it contradicts other contemporary sources in some parts. The chronicle of M ...

Gundobad
Gundobad (; ; 452 – 516) was King of the Burgundians (473–516), succeeding his father Gundioc of Burgundy. Previous to this, he had been a patrician of the moribund Western Roman Empire in 472–473, three years before its collapse, succeeding his uncle Ricimer. He is perhaps best known today as the probable issuer of the '' Lex Burgundionum'' legal codes, which synthesized Roman law with ancient Germanic customs. He was the husband of Caretene. Early life Gundobad seized the title of Patrician when his uncle Ricimer, who had been the power behind the throne for the Western Empire, died on 18 August 472. According to John of Antioch, Gundobad had previously executed the deposed emperor Anthemius on his uncle's orders. Once in power, Gundobad elevated the current , Glycerius, to the position of Roman emperor in the West. However, not long after this, Gundobad left for Burgundy where his father, Gundioc, had died; the exact date is unclear, with authorities stat ...

Baekje
Baekje or Paekche (; ) was a Korean kingdom located in southwestern Korea from 18 BCE to 660 CE. It was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, together with Goguryeo and Silla. While the three kingdoms were in separate existence, Baekje had the highest population of approximately 3,800,000 people (760,000 households), which was much larger than that of Silla (850,000 people) and similar to that of Goguryeo (3,500,000 people). Baekje was founded by Onjo of Baekje, Onjo, the third son of Goguryeo's founder King Dongmyeong of Goguryeo, Jumong and Soseono, at Wiryeseong (present-day southern Seoul). Baekje, like Goguryeo, claimed to succeed Buyeo kingdom, Buyeo, a state established in present-day Manchuria around the time of Gojoseon's fall. Baekje alternately battled and allied with Goguryeo and Silla as the three kingdoms expanded control over the peninsula. At its peak in the 4th century, Baekje controlled most of the western Korean peninsula, as far north as Pyongyang, and may ha ...

Domangart Réti
Domangart Réti was king of Dál Riata in the early 6th century, following his father's death, Fergus Mór. He had at least two sons: Comgall and Gabrán, both of whom became kings in succession. The '' Tripartite Life of St. Patrick'' states that he was present at the saint's death, c. 493. Domangart died around 507 and was succeeded by Comgall. His byname, Réti, appears in Adomnán's ''Life of Saint Columba'', in the form Corcu Réti, perhaps a synonym for Dál Riata. Corcu, a Primitive Irish language term for a kin group, usually combined with the name of a divine or mythical ancestor, is similar to the term Dál. Alternatively, rather than representing an alternative name for all of Dál Riata, it has been suggested Corcu Réti was the name given to the kin group which later divided to form the Cenél nGabráin of Kintyre and the Cenél Comgaill of Cowal, thus excluding the Cenél nÓengusa of Islay and the Cenél Loairn of middle and northern Argyll.
