The Battle of Saucourt occurred between Danish forces of pagan Viking warriors and the Christian troops of King Louis III of France on 3 August 881 at Saucourt-en-Vimeu. Louis was victorious in what must have been a rare pitched battle against the northern raiders. The battle is celebrated in the Old High German poem Ludwigslied.
