Particularly, it is said that the Dulo descended from the rulers of Old Great Bulgaria. This state was a centralized monarchy from its inception, unlike previous Hunno-Turkic political entities, which were tribal confederations. The royal family and rulers of Old Great Bulgaria (632–668) and the first half of the First Bulgarian Empire (681–1018), in their prince lists ('' Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans'') claimed through descent from Attila through Irnik, possibly Attila's attested son Ernak.

The Dobrujan Germans, who were affected by these relocations, would eventually be transferred to Nazi Germany.
