Years: 867 - 867
Methodius receives the pope's sanction for his work in Moravia and in Pannonia, Moravia's southern neighbor.
The two territories are organized as a province and connected with the ancient archbishopric of Sirmium, restored by the pope.
Methodius' elevation to archbishop angers the Frankish clergy, who regard his archdiocese as their missionary field.
He is captured and imprisoned.
