Goryeo had scored a decisive victory when the armies of Goryeo of Hubaekje met again at the Battle of Gochang near Andong in 930.

Hubaekje had been pushed back into its heartland, where suffers a further crippling defeat at Hongseong in 934.

The Later Tang Dynasty had begun to crumble from its own succession crisis after Emperor Mingzong died in 933.

Mingzong's son and successor Li Conghou rules for only five months before he is killed in 934 in a coup led by his adoptive brother Li Siyuan (Emperor Mo of Later Tang).

Meng Zhixiang declares himself emperor and establishes Later Shu as a new state independent of Later Tang.

Henry destroys the Slav settlement of Lipsk—named for the linden tree (“lipa”)—and orders a fort built on its ruins, located between the Parthe, Elster, and Pleisse rivers in the area where the foothills of the central German mountains give way to the fertile North German plains.

The town that begins to grow around the fort will become known as Leipzig.

Henry subdues and makes tributary the Lusatians and the Ukrani on the lower Oder in 932 and 934, respectively, but leaves no consistent march administration, which will be implemented by his successor Otto I.

Romanos passes additional laws in 934 to defend the small landowners against the acquisitive instincts of the “powerful.”

Ibn Muqla had been reappointed as vizier by al-Qahir when he succeeded al-Muqtadir after the latter's assassination in 932.

The new caliph's attempts to assert his own authority had met with opposition both from Ibn Muqla and from Mu'nis.

Mu'nis had started conspiring against al-Qahir, but he had been arrested and killed before he could act, whereupon, after only six months in office, Ibn Muqla had been dismissed.

The Caliph has his nephew, who was to have followed him, walled up alive.

Al-Qahir, thus relieved from immediate threat, breaks out into such tyranny, evenly against friend and foe, as to make his rule unbearable.

A fresh conspiracy is begun under Ibn Muqla, and the Caliph, overcome at night by wine, is set upon in his palace by the Baghdad troops, with his brother al-Radi succeeding him.

Refusing to abdicate, he is blinded and cast into prison in 934.

(He will be freed eleven years later, and will sometimes be seen in beggar's rags and wooden sandals.)

Ibn Muqla is now appointed to his third term of office.

By this time, the greatest threat faced by the Caliphate is the increasing independence of the regional governors, who have taken advantage of the internal quarrels in the Abbasid court to strengthen their own control over their provinces and withhold the taxes due to Baghdad, leaving the central government crippled.

Mardavij’s troops occupy Shiraz and …

…Ahvaz by 934.

Genoa, little more than a small center at this time, is slowly building its merchant fleet which is to become the leading commercial carrier of the Mediterranean Sea.

The town is sacked and burned in 934 by North African pirates and likely abandoned for a few years.
