August 955 CE
The German forces maintain discipline and methodically pursue the Magyars for the next couple of days, rather than dispersing jubilantly, as German forces had been known to do in the past.
The captured Magyars are either executed, or sent back to their ruling prince, Taksony, missing their ears and noses.
On their return, the Hungarian dukes Lél, Bulcsú and Sur, who are not Árpáds, are executed.
Duke Conrad had also been killed, after he opened his vest in the summer heat and one arrow struck his throat.
"Never was so bloody a victory gained over so savage a people," was Widukind's conclusion.
