Nomadic tribes break into Transylvania and plunder …
Years: 1068 - 1068
Nomadic tribes break into Transylvania and plunder the region during 1068, but King Solomon of Hungary and his ducal cousins rout them at Kerlés (Chiraleş, Romania).
The identification of the marauders is uncertain: the Annales Posonienses and Simon of Kéza write of Pechenegs, the fourteenth-century Hungarian chronicles refer to Cumans, and a Russian chronicle mentions the Cumans and the Vlachs.
