Alcuin upholds the orthodox doctrine at the Council of Frankfurt in 794 and obtains the condemnation of the heresiarch Felix of Urgel.

Having failed during his stay in Northumbria to influence King Æthelred in the conduct of his reign, Alcuin will never return home to England.

This is the oldest known mention of Frankfurt, as Frankonovurd (in old high German) or Vadum Francorum (in Latin).
