AI overview

I don't have enough context to provide an accurate overview of "798." The single word "year" doesn't clarify which "798" you're referring to—it could be a historical year, an art district, a location, or something else entirely. Could you provide more specific context?

Encyclopedic overview

King Coenwulf of Mercia conquers Kent

Year 798 (DCCXCVIII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Julian calendar, the 798th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 798th year of the 1st millennium, the 98th year of the 8th century, and the 9th year of the 790s decade. The denomination 798 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
