(Latin: "Deeds of the Huns and Hungarians") is a medieval chronicle written mainly by Simon of Kéza around 1282–1285. It is one of the sources of early Hungarian history. It is also known as the ''Gesta Hungarorum (II)'' (Latin: "Deeds of the Hungarians"), the "(II)" indicating its status as an expansion of the original '' Gesta Hungarorum'' (written around 1200).

Benedict, Son Of Korlát
Benedict, son of Korlát (; died after 1221) was a Hungarian nobleman, who served as voivode of Transylvania twice, from 1202 to 1206 and 1208 to 1209. He was styled as "''dux''" by royal charters – the first one who is not a relative of the royal Árpád dynasty –, which indicated his high social prestige. Due to the lack of sources and the presence of multiple barons named Benedict in the period simultaneously, there are a number of difficulties in drawing and defining his career path. There are assumptions, he is identical with Benedict "the Antichrist" and/or Benedict "the Bald", who governed the Principality of Halych on behalf of the Hungarian monarch Andrew II of Hungary, Andrew II in 1209–1210 and 1214–1221, respectively. This governor, considering the two as one person, is also referred to as Benedikt Bor in Russian and Ukrainian historiography. This article, regardless of whether both, or either, or neither can be identified with Benedict, son of Korlát, addition ...

Nyergesújfalu
Nyergesújfalu (; ) is a town in Komárom-Esztergom County, Hungary, in the Central Transdanubia region. The city, located near the river Danube, is an ancient site of habitation. It was located on the Crumerum, a major Roman trade and military route. Late-era Romans built a fort here, to help protect the northern border of their empire. The settlement was later overrun by various tribes and, later still, by invaders from the Ottoman Empire. In the periods of warfare the fort was destroyed. European travelers later noted the fort's ruins; for instance, in the mid-18th century, travel writer Richard Pococke wrote about it. "We saw the ruins of the fort, several Roman bricks and elsewhere foundations that seemed to be Roman." The struggle for freedom in the region in the later 18th century resulted in the destruction of most of the fort. A century later, not even remnant stones were visible. In the late 18th century Maria Theresa of Austria recruited Danube Swabians, German farmers ...
