Greetings all,
On this day we commemorate the Byzantine victory in the Battle of Sirmium on July 8th in 1167 AD:
The
battle was fought between Byzantine and Hungarian forces. The
Byzantines goaded the Hungarian cavalry into a charge, which was broken.
The Byzantine forces then brought in their reserves, capturing the
enemy standard and five senior commanders. The Hungarians were forced to
sue for peace on Byzantine terms.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
