Placed in AD 741 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Charles dies at the palace estate of Quierzy

The continuation of the Chronicle attributed to Fredegar records that Charles died at the palace estate of Quierzy on the Oise after suffering a severe fever.

Limits: The notice distinguishes the palace estate reached before the death from the subsequent burial at Saint-Denis. The Royal Frankish Annals separately place the death in their entry for 741 but do not name the death site. Both texts belong to Frankish historical traditions.
