About the battle

Battle of Pobiedziska was fought in 1041, during the Miecław's Rebellion, between the Duchy of Poland led by Casimir I the Restorer and its ally, Kievan Rus' led by Yaroslav the Wise, against the forces of Miecław, the self-proclaimed leader of his state. The battle was fought near the settlement of Pobiedziska in the Greater Poland. It ended with a decisive Polish victory and the destruction of Miecław's army and led to the signing of the truce between both sides, which lasted until 1047.
