	Battle of Pelagonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Pelagonia took place in September of 1259, between the Empire of Nicaea and the Principality of Achaea.
		There is a problem with the Chronicle of Morea's claim that the "duke of Carinthia" was present at the battle.
		The duke at the time was Ulrich III, but he ruled for many years after 1259, and was probably not at the battle; the writer of the Chronicle may have invented a fictitious duke as a counterbalance to William.
