I don't know if he was good at hurling diapers full of **** at the enemy, but let's just assume he was not in charge of the army. ;) His mother Anna-Euphrosyne was regent during his minority. Andrew II would have been in charge of the Hungarian forces. Whether they personally participated in the battle seems unlikely, however.Next edit → | ||

The Battle of Mikulin (1205) was an armed clash on the Seret River in the Mikulin area, which took place as part of war of the Galician succession after the death of Roman the Great.
The combined forces of Rurik Rostislavich, who had seized the Kyiv throne, and the Olgovichi from Chernihiv advanced on Halych to overthrow the regency of Anna-Euphrosyne over the young Romanovichi, Daniel of Galicia and Vasylko Romanovich. The allied armies encountered Halych and Volynian troops supporting the Romanovichi. After day-long fighting, Daniel's forces retreated to Halych. The support of Hungarian troops, which King Andrew II of Hungary sent to the aid of the Romanovichi, proved decisive. Thanks to this, Halych was successfully defended and the army of Rurik and the Olgovichi abandoned the siege. Hungarian assistance not only strengthened the city's defences, but also prevented the Halych boyars, opposed to the Romanovichi rule, from cooperating with the invaders.
Notes
- They eventually defended Halych and repulsed the Olgovichi claims to the throne.
