One of the most famous battles of antiquity, the Battle of Nedao (circa 454), pitted the Huns and their loyal vassals against a coalition of rebellious vassals. The battle’s location to this day is unknown, since its eponymous marker (the Nedao River) remains unidentified. While various hypotheses have proposed locations that are typically in the western half of the Carpathian Basin, this study argues that the battle took place on the southeastern fringe of the basin. By corroborating local toponymy and topography with the Norse Saga of Hervör and Heidrek (while deprioritising the account of Jordanes) – the present study argues that the battle took place between the left bank of the Danube and the right bank of the Nera River (modern Serbia).
