In 838 the Byzantine emperor Theophilos suffered a heavy defeat by the Abbasids in the Battle of Anzen. In 1587 a second group of English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island off North Carolina to re-establish the deserted colony. In 1686 Albany, New York was formally chartered as a municipality by Governor Thomas Dongan. 1706 England and Scotland agreed on the Acts of Union 1707 which led to the creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1894 the first ever motor race is held in France between the cities of Paris and Rouen [and the fastest finisher was not given the official victory, which was awarded to Albert Lemaître driving his 3 hp petrol engine Peugeot].
