About the battle
The Battle of Kotor took place during the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-1849 on 17 October 1848 between the Hungarian Revolutionary Army under the command of Major András Gáspár and the Croatian troops under Colonel Captain Georg Bornemissza, defending the Muraköz/Međimurje region. Mór Perczel, the leader of the Hungarian brigade which attacked Muraköz, split his troops in two, and while his detachment defeated the Croatian troops defending the line of the Mura River in the Battle of Letenye, the other column defeated the Croatians at Kotor. As a result of these victories, Perczel's troops liberated Muraköz.
