The joint forces of Duke Arnulf of …
Years: 929 - 929
The joint forces of Duke Arnulf of Bavaria and King Henry I reach Prague early in 929 in a sudden attack, which forces Wenceslas to resume the payment of a tribute which had been first imposed by the East Frankish king Arnulf of Carinthia in 895.
Henry had been forced to pay a huge tribute to the Magyars in 926 and he therefore needs the Bohemian tribute that Wenceslas had probably refused to pay any longer after the reconciliation between Arnulf and Henry.
One of the possible reasons for Henry's attack is also the formation of the anti-Saxon alliance between Bohemia, the Polabian Slavs and the Magyars.
