…driving them beyond the Tisza (Theiss) River…

796 CE

…driving them beyond the Tisza (Theiss) River on the Plain of Hungary.

Following the Franks’ rout of the Avars, troops under Eric of Friuli discover the Avars’ coveted hidden treasure, load it into fifteen carts and deliver the fabulous cache of plunder to Frankish King Charles at Aachen.

The confiscated riches will finance the Carolingian Renaissance as well as a new emperor in the West.
