933: Magyars defeated by Henry I of Germany
In 924, Henry agreed to pay tribute to the Magyars and return a hostage chief in exchange for a nine-year halt to raids on German lands. During this truce he built fortified towns and trained cavalry, which he used to combat various other encroaching tribes. When the agreed-upon time had passed, Henry refused to pay another tribute and the Magyars resumed their raids; but the king and his seasoned army destroyed the Magyars at Riade.
