933 battle between East Francia and invading Magyar (Hungarian) forces

The Battle of Riade, also called Battle of Merseburg or Battle at the Unstrut, was fought between the troops of East Francia under King Henry I and the Magyars at an unidentified location in northern Thuringia along the river Unstrut on 15 March 933. The battle was precipitated by the decision of the Synod of Erfurt to stop paying an annual tribute to the Magyars in 932.
