The battle was fought between 4-6 July 907, during which the 20 000-strong Hungarian army defeated the 60 000-strong enemy.
This short video presents the battle with interesting scenes and subtitles:
After the battle, the Hungarian army immediately attacked Bavaria and plundered several settlements. The battle of Pressburg showed the military superiority of the Hungarian army, which was consisted of light armored and quick moving nomadic horse archers.
