Battle Of The Frigidus 394 AD - Clash Between The East And West - About History

The battle on the Frigidus River is a battle in the eastern Alps between the army of the Eastern Roman Empire under the command of the Emperor Theodosius the

Snip... Did God intervene with alpine winds...

Theodosius had readied the soldiers in the front ranks under the leadership of Gaina, and after them, he sent other barbarians to try to crush the enemy with their fast fighting. A very fierce battle began. In the course of the battle against the forces of Eugenius, a natural phenomenon intervened, the wind from the frosty North defeated the enemy with a great and strong storm. Some attributed the storm that rose after the night prayer of Theodosius, to the will of the apostles.

The victory of Theodosius in the battle on the Frigidus River finally determined the direction of the religious development of Western Europe. Attempts by the Roman aristocracy to restore the pagan religion in Italy failed. The troops of Eugenius and Arbogast fought under the banners with the image of the pagan god Hercules, and victory over them symbolized victory over paganism. The already strong positions of the supporters of the Nicene Creed (Orthodoxy) in Christianity were strengthened in the West. Although the publications state that the troops of Theodosius carried banners with the image of the Christian cross, Claudius Claudian, an eyewitness, depicted the soldiers of Theodosius upon entering Rome under badges with soaring eagles and banners with embroidered dragons and snakes.

After a sleepless night, Theodosius was cheered by the news that the men Arbogast had sent to bottle him up in the valley intended to desert to his side. Buoyed by this favorable development, Theodosius' men attacked once again. This time nature was on their side as a fierce tempest—apparently the bora, a regular occurrence in the region—blew along the valley from the east. Other stories tell of Theodosius praying to God for a storm, which God subsequently granted.[7] The high winds blew clouds of dust into the faces of the Western troops (legend also says that the fierce winds even blew the Western troops' own arrows back at them). Buffeted by the winds, Arbogast's lines broke and Theodosius gained the decisive victory that the Egyptian monk had prophesied.

Snip... romantic tale...

Historian Michele Renee Salzman explains that "two newly relevant texts — John Chrysoston's Homily 6, adversus Catharos (PG 63: 491-92) and the Consultationes Zacchei et Apollonii, re-dated to the 390s, reinforce the view that religion was not the key ideological element in the events at the time".[10] According to Maijastina Kahlos, Finnish historian and Docent of Latin language and Roman literature at the University of Helsinki, the notion of pagan aristocrats united in a "heroic and cultured resistance" who rose up against the ruthless advance of Christianity in a final battle near Frigidus in 394, is a romantic myth.[11]

Here is an interesting ancient battle and I mean ancient. The Battle of Megiddo in 1467BC and if you for into it there have been many battles over this piece of land since this first recorded one. It is the first battle to be considered the first reliably recorded into history. In the Bible this is the site of Armageddon will be fought. The city is at the crossroads of trade routes.

Battle of Megiddo (15th century BC) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Battle of Megiddo (fought 15th century BC) was fought between Egyptian forces under the command of Pharaoh Thutmose III and a large rebellious coalition of Canaanite vassal states led by the king of Kadesh.[2] It is the first battle to have been recorded in what is accepted as relatively reliable detail. Megiddo is also the first recorded use of the composite bow and the first body count.[3] All details of the battle come from Egyptian sources—primarily the hieroglyphic writings on the Hall of Annals in the Temple of Amun-Re at Karnak, Thebes (now Luxor), by the military scribe Tjaneni

Here is some more...

https://www.livescience.com/megiddo-armageddon.html

Megiddo is an archaeological site that was inhabited between roughly 7000 B.C. and 300 B.C. Numerous battles were fought near Megiddo during that time, and the Book of Revelation, which refers to the site as Armageddon, prophesied that a final battle at the end of time would take place there. The name Armageddon comes from the Hebrew word "Har Megiddo," which means the "mountain of Megiddo," according to Cline. "By the Middle Ages, multiple nationalities, languages, and centuries had added an 'n' and dropped the 'h', transforming Har Megiddo to Harmageddon and thence to Armageddon," Cline wrote

Many battles have been fought at, or near Megiddo. For example, Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III, female pharaoh Hatshepsut's nephew and step-son who succeeded her and reigned 1479–1425 B.C., defeated a coalition of cities near Megiddo. His victory resulted in Egypt taking over a sizable portion of the eastern Mediterranean. Another important battle took place when King Josiah of Judah fought Egyptian Pharaoh Necho II (reign 610–595 B.C.) near Megiddo. It resulted in the defeat of Judah and the death of king Josiah. Judah was substantially weakened and was destroyed a few decades later by Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II Even in modern times, Megiddo has seen significant battles. In September 1918, during World War I, an allied army led by general Edmund Allenby defeated an Ottoman army near Megiddo. The loss was so crushing that the Ottoman Empire was forced to request an armistice shortly afterward

This battle united the British isles into Great Britain for a short time. It was called " the Great Battle " and would have gone down in history but 100 plus years later the battle of Hastings made it a footnote...

A generation later, the chronicler Æthelweard reported that it was popularly remembered as "the great battle", and it sealed Æthelstan's posthumous reputation as "victorious because of God" (in the words of the homilist Ælfric of Eynsham).[63] The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle abandoned its usual terse style in favour of a heroic poem vaunting the great victory, employing imperial language to present Æthelstan as ruler of an empire of Britain.[64] The site of the battle is uncertain, however, and over thirty sites have been suggested, with Bromborough on the Wirral the most favoured among historians.


Æthelstan - Wikipedia

Æthelstan or Athelstan (/ˈæθəlstæn/; Old English: Æðelstān [ˈæðelstɑ:n]; Old Norse: Aðalsteinn; lit. 'noble stone';[4] c. 894 – 27 October 939) was King of the Anglo-Saxons from 924 to 927 and King of the English from 927 to his death in 939.[a] He was the son of King Edward the Elder and his first wife, Ecgwynn. Modern historians regard him as the first King of England and one of the "greatest Anglo-Saxon kings".[6] He never married and had no children. He was succeeded by his half-brother, Edmund I.

Battle of Brunanburh - Wikipedia


The Battle of Brunanburh was fought in 937 between Æthelstan, King of England, and an alliance of Olaf Guthfrithson, King of Dublin; Constantine II, King of Scotland, and Owain, King of Strathclyde. The battle is often cited as the point of origin for English nationalism: historians such as Michael Livingston argue that "the men who fought and died on that field forged a political map of the future that remains [in modernity], arguably making the Battle of Brunanburh one of the most significant battles in the long history not just of England, but of the whole of the British Isles."


Here is a video another aspect of the battle and a bunch of nobles on all sides lost their lives...

The Annals of Ulster describe the battle as "great, lamentable and horrible" and record that "several thousands of Norsemen ... fell".[25] Among the casualties were five kings and seven earls from Olaf's army.[21] The poem records that Constantine lost several friends and family members in the battle, including his son.[26] The largest list of those killed in the battle is contained in the Annals of Clonmacnoise, which names several kings and princes.[27] A large number of English also died in the battle,[21] including two of Æthelstan's cousins, Ælfwine and Æthelwine.[

Aftermath:

Æthelstan's victory prevented the dissolution of England, but it failed to unite the island: Scotland and Strathclyde remained independent.[46] Foot writes that "[e]xaggerating the importance of this victory is difficult".[46] Livingston writes that the battle was "the moment when Englishness came of age" and "one of the most significant battles in the long history not just of England but of the whole of the British isles".[47] The battle was called "the greatest single battle in Anglo-Saxon history before the Hastings" by Alfred Smyth, who nonetheless says its consequences beyond Æthelstan's reign have been overstated.[48]

Alex Woolf describes it as a pyrrhic victory for Æthelstan: the campaign against the northern alliance ended in a stalemate, his control of the north declined, and after he died Olaf acceded to the Kingdom of Northumbria without resistance.[49] In 954 however the Norse lost their territory in York and Northumbria, with the death of Eric Bloodaxe.[20]

Æthelstan's ambition to unite the island had failed; the Kingdoms of Scotland and Strathclyde regained their independence, and Great Britain remained divided for centuries to come, Celtic north from Anglo-Saxon south. Æthelweard, writing in the late 900s,[20] said that the battle was "still called the 'great battle' by the common people" and that "[t]he fields of Britain were consolidated into one, there was peace everywhere, and abundance of all things".[50]

WE have Dracula... Here is Vlad the Impaler and be many the model for Dracula... He fought the Ottoman Empire before leaving to avenge is family and create his own kingdom... He fought the battle with the Ottoman Sultan and if it had gone the other way, we may remember Vlad for this Night Attack on the Ottoman Sultan army...

Night attack at Târgoviște - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Night Attack at Târgoviște (Romanian: Atacul de noapte de la Târgoviște, Turkish: Tirgovişte Baskını) was a battle fought between forces of Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, and Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire on Thursday, June 17, 1462. The battle started after Mehmed, who already had tense relations with Vlad, discovered his alliance with Hungary's king Matthias Corvinus and ordered his forces to ambush him. Vlad foiled the attack and invaded Bulgaria. In response, Mehmed raised a great army with the objective to conquer Wallachia and annex it to his empire. The two leaders fought a series of skirmishes, the most notable one being the Night Attack where Vlad attacked the Turkish camp in the night in an attempt to kill Mehmed. The assassination attempt failed and Mehmed marched to the Wallachian capital of Târgoviște, where he found a few men with cannons. After leaving the capital, Mehmed discovered 23,844 impaled Turks whom Vlad had killed during his invasion of Bulgaria. The number is mentioned by Vlad himself in a letter to Matthias Corvinus. The sultan and his troops then sailed to Brăila and burned it to the ground before retreating to Adrianople. Both sides claimed victory in the campaign and Mehmed's forces returned home with many captured slaves, horses, and cattle.

Here is the battle that is considered one of the founding events of Switzerland. It was the Battle of Morgarten. In some ways it was similar to Hannibal's famous victory at the The Battle of Lake Trasimene...

The 700th Anniversary of the Battle of Morgarten - Medievalists.net

On November 15, 1315, an Austrian army of at least a few thousand men marched along the shores of Lake Ägeri in central Switzerland. It was here that they were ambushed by over a thousand Swiss farmers.

www.medievalists.net

John of Winterthur offers this vivid picture:

It was not a battle, but a mere butchery of Duke Leopold’s men; for the mountainfolk slew them like sheep in the shambles; no quarter was given, they cut down all without distinction. So great was the fierceness of the Confederates that scores of the Austrian foot-soldiery, when they saw the bravest knights falling helplessly, threw themselves in panic into the lake, preferring to drown rather than to be hewn about by the dreadful weapons of their enemies.

Becker explains that:

politically speaking, Morgarten was a water-shed moment. Three little democratically governed peasant communities—Schwyz, Uri and Unterwalden—in the heart of Switzerland’s central valleys, had demanded independence from foreign governors, establishing it by defeating their imperial army. These “inner” or Forest Cantons laid the foundation for the Confederate militia system when they signed the Bundesbrief of 1291, and renewed it in 1314, swearing oaths of loyalty for mutual protection against any aggressor. With this agreement they created the original Confederacy. In 1315 the “Oath Brothers” were put to the test and their united effort succeeded against a powerful enemy—an Austrian Habsburg army. Their success won the confidence of other Swiss communities, several of which had fought against them at Morgarten. Among these new members to the alliance were the “outer” cantons of Zürich, Zug, Glarus, Luzern, Zürich, Fribourg, Graubünden, Bern, and others, which either joined or, in the case of Graubünden, allied with the Confederates after Morgarten.

WE going back to the days of the crusades in the Holy Land with the Siege of Acre, in 1189-1191... It starts the Third Crusade and later the more famous leaders of this crusade from the east arrive so only Saladin is on the seen. The siege has the Muslim inside Arce and the Christians digging trenches and palisades to keep Saladin relief force at bay. It was like Caesar at Battle of Alesia against the Celts... It lasted like 3 years...

The Siege of Acre, located on the northern coast of Israel, was the first major battle of the Third Crusade (1189-1192 CE). The protracted siege by a mixed force of European armies against the Muslim garrison and nearby army of Saladin, the Sultan Egypt and Syria (r. 1174-1193 CE), lasted from 1189 to 1191 CE.

It starts with Guy King of Lusignan, King of Jerusalem...

The French nobleman Guy of Lusignan, king of what remained of the Kingdom of Jerusalem (r. 1186-1192 CE), decided to make an attack on Acre in 1189 CE. Considering the precarious position of the Latins in the region, it was a daring move, perhaps motivated by the necessity to make some sort of fightback against the Muslim incursions and mobilize while Saladin was still busy securing several other castles in the region, notably at Beaufort where a siege was ongoing. In addition, with his rival Conrad of Montferrat in control of Tyre, Guy was effectively a king without a kingdom. Acre could provide him with a base of his own from which he could stake his claim to any newly-created Latin states when the promised Crusader armies arrived in the region.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege...of Acre (also,important battles of the period.

The siege of Acre (also called the fall of Acre) took place in 1291 and resulted in the Crusaders losing control of Acre to the Mamluks. It is considered one of the most important battles of the period. Although the crusading movement continued for several more centuries, the capture of the city marked the end of further crusades to the Levant. When Acre fell, the Crusaders lost their last major stronghold of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. They still maintained a fortress at the northern city of Tartus (today in north-western Syria), engaged in some coastal raids, and attempted an incursion from the tiny island of Ruad, but when they lost that as well in 1302 in the siege of Ruad, the Crusaders no longer controlled any part of the Holy Land.

I found a famous Spartan battle against Argos... Instead of a battle, the two sides chose their best 300 champions to duel in the open field. There is not any details of the battle so let your imagination figure out how the duel between the 300 Champions unfolded... Called: The Battle of the 300 Champions...

Battle of the 300 Champions - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Battle of the 300 Champions, known since Herodotus' day as the Battle of the Champions, was a battle fought in roughly 546 BC between Argos and Sparta. Rather than commit full armies both sides agreed to pitting 300 of their best men against each other.

Here is another take... more details...

https://www.warhistoryonline.com/ancient-history/battle-of-the-300-champions.html?D2c=1

The Greeks sure seem to like the number 300. The 300 Spartans (and their 7,000 allies) at Thermopylae, the 300 Theban Sacred Band, and the little-known battle of the 300 Champions, fought very early in Greek history. Before Persia was a grave threat, actually while Cyrus the Great was building Persia into an ancient superpower, the Greeks quite often fought amongst themselves. Greek shared culture did exist and this thin unity would save the Greeks from Xerxes later, but the link was thin enough for countless Greek cities to be ruthlessly sacked through a variety of Greek City-State wars.

One such war was between the Spartans and the people of Argos (known as Argives, not Argonauts who were a band of mythical heroes) over the coastal town of Thyrea that lay between the two city-states. make no mistake, the Argives were outstandingly fierce soldiers, especially so during their early history. Around this time Argos directly competed with Sparta for dominance of the Peloponnese and competed well. When the Spartans took over the fertile plains of the Argive-allied Thyrea, the Argive army confidently marched out in force.

I found the battle called "The Hastings of the South Europe" ]. The Normans again win a great victory to cement their rule...

Battle of Civitate - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Battle of Civitate was fought on 18 June 1053 in southern Italy, between the Normans, led by the Count of Apulia Humphrey of Hauteville, and a Swabian-Italian-Lombard army, organised by Pope Leo IX and led on the battlefield by Gerard, Duke of Lorraine, and Rudolf, Prince of Benevento. The Norman victory over the allied papal army marked the climax of a conflict between the Norman mercenaries who came to southern Italy in the eleventh century, the de Hauteville family, and the local Lombard princes. By 1059 the Normans would create an alliance with the papacy, which included a formal recognition by Pope Nicholas II of the Norman conquest in south Italy, investing Robert Guiscard as Duke of Apulia and Calabria, and Count of Sicily.

Here is a summary of... events it leads too...

https://www.historytoday.com/archive/battle-civitate

The battle was effectively the founding moment of the Norman empire in the south and the future kingdom of the Two Sicilies. When Humphrey died in 1057, Robert succeeded him, brushing aside his brother’s young sons. The papacy changed tactics and at Melfi in 1059 Pope Nicholas II invested Robert Guiscard as Duke of Apulia and Calabria and future lord of Sicily. Sicily was held by Arabs, the Hautevilles were zealous Christians and the pope wanted to encourage the recovery of the island from Islam. Robert Guiscard and yet another brother, Roger, duly obliged, though it took thirty years to achieve. Meanwhile Robert completed the conquest of Southern Italy – the last Byzantine stronghold, Bari, fell in 1071

Here is a follow-up to post #85... Battle of Brunanburh

Here is an article about the possible locations of the battle...

The Battlefields Hub → Britons, Saxons & Vikings → The Battle of Battle of Brunanburh

www.battlefieldstrust.com

There is no consensus amongst historians of the battle about where Anlaf’s fleet landed, which would begin to indicate where the battle might have been fought. John of Worcester and Symeon of Durham (both early 12th C) say that Anlaf entered the mouth of the Humber with a strong fleet (615 ships according to Symeon) and at least six other chroniclers mention the Humber, the river Ouse or Northumbria (i.e. north of the Humber). But other historians argue that these references derive from the single John of Worcester source, that John of Worcester was mistaken, and that a western landing site is more likely. They cite the short time between August and December 937 available to the allies to arrange a rendezvous and question whether the hazardous voyage round the north of the British Isles from Dublin would have been a practical proposition for Vikings. But these arguments have also been questioned on the grounds that, given the seafaring culture of the Vikings, Anlaf would have been unlikely to mount an attack on York, his military objective, by abandoning his fleet on the west coast and marching nearly 200 km across Anglo-Saxon territory,

While the historical value of the Battle of Brunanburh is questionable, the impact it had on citizens and culture alike is undeniable. It featured in many works of the time, including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Irish Annals of Ulster and Egil’s Saga. It was one of the largest clashes of armies in that century. Neilson describes its effects as ‘a battle whose historical interest is heightened by the degree of passionate emotion it evidently aroused, for certainly the legend and song which it inspired bespeak a deep consciousness of the national menace it relieved, and give that consciousness a more or less lyrical expression’ (Neilson, 37).

Here is a famous ancient battle in India that changed the heart of a ruler. It is called the Battle of Kalinga or The Kalinga War...

The dharma apologize on a side of a rock:

Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Priyadarsi(Ashoka)conquered the Kalingas eight years after his coronation. One hundred and fifty thousand were deported, one hundred thousand were killed and many more died (from other causes). After the Kalingas had been conquered, Beloved-of-the-Gods came to feel a strong inclination towards the Dharma, a love for the Dharma and for instruction in Dharma. Now Beloved-of-the-Gods feels deep remorse for having conquered the Kalingas.

— Ashoka, Rock Edict No. 13[15]

Kalinga War - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Kalinga War (ended c. 261 BCE)[1] was fought in ancient India between the Maurya Empire under Ashoka and the state of Kalinga, an independent feudal kingdom located on the east coast, in the present-day state of Odisha and northern parts of Andhra Pradesh. It is presumed that the battle was fought on Dhauli hills in Dhauli which is situated on the banks of Daya River. The Kalinga War was one of the largest and deadliest battles in Indian history.

Ashoka's response to the Kalinga War is recorded in the Edicts of Ashoka. The Kalinga War prompted Ashoka, already a non-engaged Buddhist, to devote the rest of his life to ahimsa (non-violence) and to dharma-Vijaya (victory through dharma). Following the conquest of Kalinga, Ashoka ended the military expansion of the empire and began an era of more than 40 years of relative peace, harmony, and prosperity.[

This is the singular instance of a war in history which brought about a complete change of heart in a stern ruler like Ashoka. He realized that his victory at such a cost is not worthwhile. This moved Emperor Ashoka so much that he adopted the Buddhism and walked the path of Ahimsa or non-violence under Acharya Upgupta. And Emperor Ashoka the Great ended his military conquests and completely stopped the territorial expansion policy of Mauryan Empire.

The Battle of Suthul was an episode of the Jugurthine War.[1][2] The battle was fought in 110 BC between the Roman force led by the legate Aulus Postumius Albinus and the army of Numidia, led by King Jugurtha. In 110 BC, the consul Spurius Postumius Albinus invaded Numidia, but left soon after to prepare elections in Rome. His brother Aulus Postumius Albinus got the leadership of the Roman army, but was easily tricked by Jugurtha, who trapped the Romans near the town of Suthul, which may be the same location as Calama, near modern-day Guelma in Algeria.
