It resulted in a Bulgarian victory. While the armies of the Bulgarian emperor Kaloyan were besieging Odrin, Boniface of Montferrat, king of Thessalonica, launched attacks towards Bulgaria from Serres. His cavalry reached Messinopolis at 5 days raid to the east of Serres but in the mountainous terrain around the town his army was attacked by a larger force composed mainly of local Bulgarians. The battle began in the Latin rear guard and Boniface managed to repulse the Bulgarians, but while he was chasing them he was killed by an arrow, and soon the crusaders were defeated. His head was sent to Kaloyan, who immediately organized a campaign against Boniface's capital of Thessalonica. However, Kaloyan was murdered by conspirators during the siege, and the grieved Bulgarians raised the siege. {{coord missing|Greece}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Messinopolis}}{{battle-stub}} 8 : 1207 in Europe|Battles involving the Second Bulgarian Empire|Battles involving the Latin Empire|13th century in Bulgaria|Bulgarian–Latin Wars|Conflicts in 1207|Medieval Thrace|Komotini |
