Battle of Lucka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Lucka occurred on 31 May 1307 near the village of Lucka. The village was first mentioned in 1320, but had already existed for around 700 years before that. Lucka is located in Altenburger Land in Turingia.
The battle was fought between Albert I of the Habsburgs and the so-called Graf Friedrich the Bitten, a Wettin, also known as Friedrich the Peaceful.
During this battle, the royal army of Albrecht fought under the command of Burggraf Friedrich von Nürnberg, but was defeated. This victory guaranteed the continuation of the House of Wettin. Today, the citizens of Lucka believe that their city received its charter as a result of this victory.
