Following the Frankish/Eastern Roman victory at Aachen, the Vikings were unable to counter Atticus' forces. Attempting to draw them out of Aachen, they sacked Verdun, though Atticus did not intend on losing Aachen again. They did, however, manage to retake Maastricht. In 850, the Vikings prepared to attack Liége. Getting word of the planned assault on the Frankish city, Atticus mobilized his forces and rode for Liége, intending to prevent the Viking forces from sacking the city.
