After establishing an alliance with Adelbrand von Salzburg, Berengar pursued the remnants of the Bavarian forces that remained within the County of Salzburg. It took him a span of two weeks to thoroughly mop up the Bavarian remnants before he was complete with his conquest of the region.
During this time, Eckhard had engaged in various small-scale battles against the Bavarian forces, who until now had occupied the County of Kärnten. Much like in Salzburg, the Bavarians were quickly crushed; however, since Salzburg was cut off, they had nowhere to retreat. The Bavarian's only option was to hide behind the stone walls of the central city in the region, which was Klagenfurt.
