The Brothers' Quarrel (Hungarian: testvérviszály) was a war of succession within the Árpád dynasty between Emeric, the King of Hungary, and his younger brother, Andrew, Duke of Slavonia. It lasted from 1197 to 1203, covering almost the entire reign of Emeric. The conflict had a significant impact on the development of the 13th-century society and political system in the Kingdom of Hungary.
