Battle of Cedynia

The Battle of Cedynia (also known as the Battle of Zehden) was fought on 24 June 972 near the Oder river, when an army led by Mieszko I of Poland defeated the forces of the Saxon margrave Hodo (or Odo I of Lusatia). Whether the battle actually took place near the modern-day town of Cedynia is disputed in modern scholarship.
