The <entity_0> was fought on <entity_1> between the <entity_5> army of the Emperor Henry V and a rebellious <entity_8> force. Having returned from Rome he was immediately excommunicated by the papal legate in <entity_6> Cuno of Praeneste and again by Archbishop Guy de Vienne, the later Pope Callixtus II, which encouraged the <entity_5> princes in their rising against the emperor—most of all the <entity_8> Duke Lothair of Supplinburg and Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz, Henry's long-time supporter who after his investiture had deserted him. However, though he had Adalbert imprisoned at Trifels Castle and forced Lothair to submit himself after a court hearing at the <entity_5> Palace of Goslar, the smouldering <entity_8> conflict broke out again in March 1113 over the succession in the Thuringian territories left by late Count Ulric II of Weimar and Orlamünde. According to the chronicles of Pegau Abbey, on 10 <entity_3> the <entity_5> forces gathered at the Kaiserpfalz of Wallhausen and moved about 40 km (25 mi) towards <entity_4> (today part of Gerbstedt in <entity_2>) to meet the united <entity_8> troops led by Duke Lothair, with first skirmish occurring already on the same evening. The incident decided the <entity_7>: the tackling <entity_8> armies of Lothair were victorious, forcing Henry's troops to take flight. In his 12th century Chronica Slavorum the <entity_8> chronicler Helmold described the <entity_7> as "the largest encounter in our time".
