Samuel is forced by Emperor Henry to …
Years: 1043 - 1043
Samuel is forced by Emperor Henry to renounce all Hungarian territories to the west of the rivers Leitha and Morava as well as agree to the payment of a tribute.
Henry forces Aba to recognize the Danubian territory donated to Germany by Stephen I of Hungary pro causa amicitiae (for friendship's sake); these territories had been ceded to Hungary after the defeat of Conrad II in 1030.
This border will remain the border between Hungary and Austria until 1920.
The funding of the tribute payment is through new taxes on the prelates and seizure of Church estates.
This policy causes discontent even among the members of his own council, resulting in the murder of a number of them during Lent.
In order to punish the king, Bishop Gerard of Csanád refuses to perform his coronation at Easter.
