Years: 998 - 998
Stephen and Koppány eventually meet in battle near Veszprém and Stephen, victorious, assumes the role of Grand Prince of the Hungarians.
Stephen's victory has come primarily thanks to his German retinue led by the brothers Pázmány and Hont.
The nearly contemporary deed of foundation of the Abbey of Pannonhalma clearly describes the battle as a struggle between the Germans and the Magyars.
Thus, Stephen has strengthened his power in Transdanubia, but several parts of Hungary still do not accept his rule.
