Events of 1438

* January 1 – Albert II of Habsburg becomes King of Hungary.
* March 18 – Albert II of Habsburg becomes King of Germany.
* July 7 – Charles VII of France issues the "Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges", giving the French church control over the appointment of bishops and depriving the Pope of French ecclesiastical revenues.
* Eric of Pomerania, King of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, loses direct control of Sweden. Karl Knutsson Bonde is elected Regent of Sweden.
* Pachacuti (who will later create Tahuantinsuyu, or the Inca Empire) becomes the ruler of Cuzco.
* In Italy, the siege of Brescia by the condottieri troops of Niccolò Piccinino is raised after the arrival of Scaramuccia da Forlì.
* Just 2 years after the Ming Dynasty court of China allowed landowners paying the grain tax to pay their tax in silver instead, the Ming court now decides to close all silver mines and to ban all private silver mining in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. This is a concerted effort to halt the increase of silver circulating into the market. Illegally mining silver is now an offense punishable by death; although illegal mining became a dangerous affair, the high demand for illegal mining also made it very lucrative, and so many chose to defy the government and continued to mine silver.
