Csaba (chieftain)
Csaba () was a Hungarian chieftain and military leader in the 10th century, who took part in the Hungarian invasions of Europe. He is one of the sources of the legendary figure of Prince Csaba. Sources The 16th-century Humanist historian Johannes Aventinus, who utilized 10–11th century annals which had lost since then, writes that the Hungarian invading army was led by Bulcsú and his four sub-generals, Csaba (''Schaba''), Lehel, Súr and Taksony in the disastrous Battle of Lechfeld in August 955. The unidentified author of the early 13th-century ''Gesta Hungarorum'' writes that two chieftains, Szovárd and Kadocsa, who took part in the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (late 9th century), settled down in the Balkans, then a province of the Byzantine Empire, together with their people who "are now called »Sobamogera«". Anonymus adds that they remained "in Greece and they were thus called ''soba'' by the Greeks, that is stupid people, because with their lord dead ...

Hungarian Invasions Of Europe
The Hungarian invasions of Europe (, ) occurred in the 9th and 10th centuries, during the period of transition in the history of Europe of the Early Middle Ages, when the territory of the former Carolingian Empire was threatened by invasion by the Magyars (Hungarians) from the east, the Viking expansion from the north, and the Early Muslim conquests, Arabs from the south.Barbara H. Rosenwein, A short history of the Middle Ages, University of Toronto Press, 2009, p. 15/ref> The Hungarians took possession of the Pannonian Basin, Carpathian Basin (corresponding to the later Kingdom of Hungary) in a pre-planned manner, with a long period of settlement between 862–895, and launched a number of campaigns both westward into former Francia and southward into the Byzantine Empire. The westward raids were stopped only with the Magyar defeat at the Battle of Lechfeld (955), Battle of Lechfeld in 955, which led to the revival of the Holy Roman Empire in 962, producing a new political order ...

List Of Kings Of The Huns
This is a list of kings of the Huns from the arrival of the Huns in Europe in the 360s/370s until the Huns#After Attila, fall of the Hunnic Empire in 469 AD. The following list starts with Balamber, the first known king of the Huns, who is thought to be one of the earliest, if not the first, Hun king since their arrival in Pannonia. Jordanes recounts in his ''Getica'' that Balamber crushed the Ostrogoths in the 370s, probably some time between 370 and 376. The existence of Balamber, however, is disputed by some historians, thus making Uldin the first undisputed king of the Huns. The Huns are thought to have had a sole king and several "sub-kings", or to have ruled in a dual-monarchy, similarly to their predecessors, the Xiongnu. Some historians think that the Huns divided their empire in halves, with one king ruling the eastern part of the empire and another king ruling the western part (e.g. Attila and Bleda). Attila is the last ascertained sole king of the Huns, a position he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gyepű
In Middle Ages, medieval Europe, a march or mark was, in broad terms, any kind of borderland, as opposed to a state's "heartland". More specifically, a march was a border between realms or a neutral buffer zone under joint control of two states in which different laws might apply. In both of these senses, marches served a political purpose, such as providing warning of Invasion, military incursions or regulating cross-border trade. Marches gave rise to the titles marquess (masculine) or marchioness (feminine). Etymology The word "march" derives ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European root *''merg-'', meaning "edge, boundary". The root *''merg-'' produced Latin ''margo'' ("margin"), Old Irish ''mruig'' ("borderland"), Welsh language, Welsh ''bro'' ("region, border, valley") and Persian language, Persian and Armenian language, Armenian ''Marz (country subdivision), marz'' ("borderland"). The Proto-Germanic ''*marko'' gave rise to the Old English language, Old English word ''mearc'' a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
