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. After the fight between the Hyspians, Orenian reinforcements of roughly 1,000 men arrived which caused the Red Hyspians to make an organized retreat after having captured Francisco. This battle directly led to the execution of Francisco Altamirano, and indirectly led to the death of King Antonio
