Years: 1042 - 1042
Henry III launches his first expedition against Hungary in early 1042.
His forces advance north of the Danube to the river Garam (Hron, Slovakia).
The emperor plans to restore Peter, but the locals are strongly opposed.
Accordingly, the emperor appoints another (unnamed) member of the Hungarian royal family, living in exile in Bohemia, to administer the territories.
