Historical Background
During the phase of Franko-Avarian war between the King Charlemagne and the Avarian kagan in the late 795 AD or in the year 796 AD, Friulian and Frankish troops were led into Pannonia by Eric of Friuli and by his companion Vojnomir. This army was not seriously resisted by Avarians and many Avarian forts were conquered. Vojnomir's leading position in the campaign has been presumed as very possible with regard to the textual analysis of Annales regni Francorum.

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or background:
“Historical! Must it be historical to catch your attention? Even though historicity, like notoriety, denotes nothing more than that something has occurred.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
