Taksony's policies were a change from the previous habit of Hungarian leaders of conducting rapid raids on neighbouring countries, as he was probably present at the Battle of Lechfeld, where the Hungarian army was defeated and lost its leader Bulcsú. Relations with the Byzantine Empire progressively deteriorated, possibly due to propaganda from the Holy Roman Emperor Otto which depicted the Hungarians as ungodly. In the second half of his reign, Taksony increasingly pursued campaigns against the Byzantine Empire.
