Battle of the Fischa

The Battle of the Fischa or Battle of the Leitha took place on 11 September 1146 near the Fischa River at the border of the Kingdom of Hungary and the March of Austria, which belonged to the overlordship of the Dukes of Bavaria and it was ruled by margraves of the Franconian Babenberg dynasty. The opponents were a Bavarian army led by duke Henry XI and the Hungarian army under the leadership of king Géza II and his uncle and palatine Beloš Vukanović, who formerly served as regent and tutor for the underage Géza II. The battle was a victory for the Hungarian army, which defeated a great knight army during an open battle at first.
