| | Roman Emperors DIR Manuel I Comnenus |
 | | A kinsman of the emperor, John Cantacuzenus, distinguished himself in battle against the Serbs, and Manuel duelled against a Serb champion, Bagin. |
 | | Victorious, he then invaded Sirmium, also known as Frangochorion (Fruska Gora), that strip of territory between the Danube and Sava rivers, and prevailed over the Hungarians, whose king sought peace before Manuel could cross the Danube. |
 | | The people of Constantinople awarded the emperor a triumph for this triple victory against the Normans of Corfu, the Hungarians and the Serbs of 1149-50. |
