1305 battle in Thrace

The Battle of Apros took place in July 1305 in Thrace, when the Byzantine co-emperor Michael IX Palaiologos confronted the Catalan Company, a mercenary force that had recently turned against the empire. Hired a few years earlier to reinforce the eastern frontier, the Company had become increasingly difficult to control and entered into open conflict with the Byzantines after the murder of its leader Roger de Flor.
