The Battle of Ostradt was one of the final major battles that took place in the Hyspian Schism and was the battle that led directly to the deaths of Francisco Altamirano and indirectly Antonio I of Hyspia. The battle occurred when forces loyal to Red Hyspia caught Francisco Altamirano out in the open with an escort near Ostradt, which resulted in a battle between Francisco's escort and Gustaven's contingent.
Prelude
Soon after entering the service of Antonio I of Hyspia, Gustaven von Halsfield had taken a small force of Red Hyspians into the Holy Orenian Empire to try and capture Francisco Altamirano, who they believed was in the area.
