The Battle of Langensalza, also called the Battle of Homburg on the Unstrut, was fought on 9 June 1075 in Thuringia during the Saxon rebellion against the Salian king Henry IV. Henry defeated the rebel Saxon nobility, whose leaders submitted to him later that year. The Saxon opposition revived soon afterwards during the Investiture Controversy.
