Events of 1407
- April 10 - After several invitations by the Yongle Emperor of China since 1403, the fifth Karmapa of the Karma Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the lama Deshin Shekpa, finally visits the Ming Dynasty capital, then at Nanjing. In his twenty-two day visit, he thrilled the Ming court with alleged mircales that were recorded in a gigantic scroll translated into five different languages. In a show of mystical prowess, Deshin Shekpa added legitimacy to a questionable succession to the throne by Yongle, who had killed his nephew the Jianwen Emperor in the culmination of a civil war. For his services to the Ming court, including his handling of the ceremonial rites of Yongle's deceased parents, Deshin Shekpa was awarded with the title Great Treasure Prince of Dharma (大寶法王).
- November 20 - A solemn truce between John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy and Louis of Valois, Duke of Orléans is agreed under the auspicies of John, Duke of Berry.
- November 24 - The Duke of Orleans is assassinated; war breaks out again between the Burgundians and his followers.
- Rudolfo Belenzani leads a revolt against Bishop Georg von Liechtenstein in Trento, Italy.
- The Ming Dynasty of China under the Yongle Emperor invades and conquers Vietnam, after ditching its support effort for reestablishing the Tran Dynasty over the Ho Dynasty; yet a rebel movement will push the Chinese out by 1428, during the establishment of the Le Dynasty.
