π© The mid-12th century Balkans stood at the crossroads, as empires locked in a contest for supremacy over the region. The Byzantine Empire, revitalized under Manuel I Komnenos, sought to push west, while the Kingdom of Hungary, confident and expanding, pushed boldly southward. Rivalry over cities, rivers, and trade routes ignited a struggle that neither power could afford to lose. Diplomacy faltered, alliances shifted, and armies gathered on contested soil. The fate of the region would be decided in Sirmium.
