Komárom is a city in Hungary on the south bank of the Danube in Komárom-Esztergom County. Komárom fortress played an important role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and many contemporary English sources refer to it as the Fortress of Comorn. On the south bank of the Danube, Komárom was formerly a separate village called Újszőny. On the northern bank of the Danube Komárom and Újszőny were connected with an iron bridge in 1892 and the two towns were united under the name city of Komárom in 1896. On 4th June 1920, the Treaty of Trianon split the city in two because the borders of Czechoslovakia were determined by the river Danube. This division separated the historical Komárom county of the Kingdom of Hungary and the city of Komárom. The bigger northern part of the city was attached to Czechoslovakia, renamed Komárno, its created a sizable Hungarian minority in present-day Slovakia. The southern part of the city, lying south of the Danube, remained in Hungary. On 2 November 1938 by the First Vienna Award, the northern part of the city was returned to Hungary and the divided Komárom reunified. At the end of World War II the city was again divided between Hungary and Czechoslovakia, Komárno is in today's Slovakia on the northern bank of the Danube.

The First battle of Komárom was one of the most important battles of the Hungarian War of Independence, fought on 26 April 1849, between the Hungarian and the Austrian Imperial main armies, which some consider ended as a Hungarian victory, while others say that actually it was undecided. This battle was part of the Hungarian Spring Campaign. After the revolutionary army attacked and broke the Austrian siege of the fortress, the Imperials, having received reinforcements which made them numerically very superior to their enemies, successfully counterattacked, but after stabilising their situation, they retreated towards Győr, leaving the trenches and much of their siege artillery in Hungarian hands. By this battle the Hungarian revolutionary army relieved the fortress of Komárom from a very long imperial siege, and forced the enemy to retreat to the westernmost margin of the Kingdom of Hungary. After this battle, following a long debate among the Hungarian military and political leaders about whether to continue their advance towards Vienna, the Habsburg capital, or towards the Hungarian capital, Buda, whose fortress was still held by the Austrians, the second option was chosen.

He was – according to the author of the early 13th-century Gesta Hungarorum, Anonymus – one of the seven chieftains (princes) of the conquering Hungarians. This credibility is uncertain, he may have been a person living later in the 10th century. He ruled the southern part of the Little Hungarian Plain, but just like with the other chieftains, there is not known which tribe he was chief of.
