The Battle of Olšava was an engagement of Bohemian and Hungarian troops near the Olšava River along the frontier of the two realms in May 1116.[1][2] The event started as a peaceful meeting between the young Stephen II of Hungary and Vladislaus I of Bohemia, according to Hungarian chronicles.[2] The Czech Cosmas of Prague wrote that the Hungarians came to the border to provocate a war.[3]
