The Bulgarian tsar, using a Magyar invasion …
Years: 896 - 896
The Bulgarian tsar, using a Magyar invasion in the lands of the neighboring Slavs in 896 as a casus belli, heads against the Magyars together with his Pecheneg allies and his father Boris I, who leaves the monastery for this occasion.
Gathering an enormous army, Tsar Simeon marches to the north eastern borders of the country.
He orders three days of fasting, saying that the soldiers should repent for their sins and seek help in God.
When this is done, the battle of Southern Buh, near the banks of the eponymous river, in modern Ukraine, begins.
It is long and unusually fierce but in the end the Bulgarians are victorious, defeating the Magyars completely and making them leave Etelköz forever to settle in Pannonia.
