630 Byzantine emperor Heraclius restored the True Cross to Jerusalem.

He chased the fleeing king and mayor to Paris..
1152 Annulment of the marriage of King Louis VII of France and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Eleanor retained control of Aquitaine and shortly thereafter wed Henry Plantagenet, who would become the next king of England.
