Years: 725 - 725
The first Moorish raids on Corsica had begun around 713–719 from the Balearic Islands to the west.
Liutprand, as King of the Lombards, acting as the protector of the Catholic Church and its faithful, subjects the island to Lombard government around 725, though it is nominally under imperial authority. (Corsica will remain with the Lombard kingdom even after the Frankish conquest, by which time Lombard landholders and churches will have established a significant presence on the island.)
