Everything about The Peace Of Bautzen totally explained
The
Peace of Bautzen (; ) was a
peace treaty signed by
Emperor Henry II and Duke
Bolesław I the Brave of
Poland on
30 January 1018. The peace, achieved at the Ortenburg castle in
Bautzen, ended 15 years of warfare between the two rulers, as well as ending negotiations Henry had begun in
1003 with the heathen
Liutizians. Because of the recurring warfare since the
Peace of Merseburg in
1013, Henry desired peace with Poland. This would allow him to focus on reunifying the
Roman Empire, since divided into the
western Holy Roman Empire and the eastern
Byzantine Empire, with himself as universal
Roman Emperor, a goal desired by his predecessor
Otto III. Bolesław received the disputed
Marches of
Lusatia and
Milzenerland until 1031 and strengthened dynastic bonds through his marriage with
Oda, first daughter of
Margrave Ekkehard I of
Meißen. With the help of contingents of
German and
Hungarian troops, he was then able to capture
Kiev in the summer of 1018 and hold it for six months. As the partner of the western Emperor, Bolesław was able to threaten the Byzantine Emperor
Basil II from Kiev.
