At the battle of Pozsonyi (Pressburg) on the Danube in summer 907 C.E, about 30,000 Hungarian irregulars, mostly farmers called from tending their fields, defeated an invading army of more than 100,000 German, French, and Italian professional soldiers. On this evening of the second day of battle, the Hungarians cut the invaders’ supply lines by holing their boats, setting them on fire – flaming arrows arch through the sky – and then rounding up everyone who swam to shore. Survivors were eventually repatriated. This painting is part of the Hungarian millecentennial historical suite in the Museum of Hungarian Military History in Budapest.
