Battle of Gammelsdorf
1313 battle between Louis the Bavarian and Frederick I of Austria
The Battle of Gammelsdorf took place in November 1313. The cause of the skirmish was the guardianship of the underage duke of Lower Bavaria. This was sought by both Duke Louis the Bavarian and Duke Frederick I of Austria. It circled around the question of who would execute tutelage over the minor children of the late Lower Bavarian Dukes, thus also commanding the tremendous economic power of that region.
