Description

Explore a defining moment in European history with this scholarly work from Routledge. In August 955, a massive battle occurred on the plains near Augsburg in southern Germany that changed the course of the Latin West. The forces of Otto the Great met a large army of Hungarian mounted archers in an encounter known as the Battle of Lechfeld. While many historians have questioned how such a decisive victory could prevent the Hungarian warriors from retreating to the Carpathian Basin to rebuild, this book offers the first satisfactory explanation for why the battle was so final. It examines how the annihilation of the Hungarian army effectively ended the era of steppe nomad incursions into Western Europe. This text is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of Germany and the transition out of the Age of Migrations. It provides a detailed look at the military engagement and the long-term consequences that shaped the future of the continent.
