Bavaria Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria, Germany.

At the Battle of Pressburg (now Bratislava, Slovakia) on July 4, 907, the Magyars inflicted a disastrous defeat on a large Bavarian army that had attempted to reclaim lost territory.123

The conflict resulted in significant losses for the Bavarian leadership, including the deaths of Liutpold of Bavaria and Theotmar, the archbishop of Salzburg. Following this defeat, Lower Austrian territories as far as the Enns River and Steiermark as far as the Koralpe massif fell under Magyar domination. This period of instability for Bavaria continued until the Magyars were decisively checked by Otto I at the Battle of Lechfeld in 955.132
