Peace of Aachen (812)
The Peace of Aachen of 812 was the settlement between Charlemagne and the Byzantine emperor Michael I, whose envoys at Aachen acknowledged Charlemagne as emperor. In return Charlemagne gave up his claims to Venice and the coastal cities of Dalmatia, which stayed under nominal Byzantine sovereignty. The settlement, linked to the earlier negotiations known as the Pax Nicephori, was ratified by Leo V in 814.
