Description

Discover why the Battle of Lechfeld in August 955 marked a turning point in European history. Otto the Great's decisive victory over Hungarian mounted archers near Augsburg in southern Germany ended centuries of steppe nomad incursions into Western Europe. This scholarly work explores the mystery of how the Hungarian army's total annihilation occurred, offering the first comprehensive explanation for why these skilled warriors could not simply retreat to the Carpathian Basin to rebuild their strength and resume their devastating raids. Published by Routledge, this book examines the geopolitical and military factors that transformed the outcome of this crucial encounter, providing readers with fresh insights into how one battle fundamentally reshaped the medieval Western world and concluded the Age of Migrations.
