Frederick I's expedition to Głogów

Frederick I's expedition to Głogów took place when Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa launched an campaign into Poland to support Władysław II the Exile, exiled son of Bolesław III Wrymouth. The conflict centered on the defense of Głogów. Despite initial resistance, the Polish forces were overwhelmed by the German army's superior strength. Głogów fell, marking a significant blow to Polish defenses in the west. The conflict ended with humiliating terms for Poland, but it was the last major confrontation between the Kingdom of Poland and the Holy Roman Empire in the early Piast period.
