Pressburg, Battle of

Years: 907 - 907

The Battle of Pressburg (German: Schlacht von Pressburg) or Battle of Bratislava (Slovak: Bitka pri Bratislave) or Battle of Pozsony (Hungarian: Pozsonyi csata) refers to a battle fought on July 4, 907, during which a Bavarian army led by Margrave Luitpold is defeated by Hungarian forces under Grand Prince Árpád.

In consequence, the Kingdom of East Francia loses control over the Carolingian March of Pannonia including the territory of the later marchia orientalis, which will not be regained until the Battle of Lechfeld in 955.
