Placed in AD 800 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

Leo crowns Charlemagne in Saint Peter's

Limits: The source places this Christmas event under DCCCI through nativity-year reckoning. The extracted clause reports the crowning; the ensuing acclamation is a separate clause.
