Levente
Levente (between 1010 and 1015 – 1047) was a member of the House of Árpád, a great-grandson of Taksony, Grand Prince of the Hungarians. He was expelled from Hungary in 1031 or 1032, and spent many years in Bohemia, Poland and the Kievan Rus'. He returned to Hungary, where a pagan uprising was developing around that time, in 1046. Levente remained a devout pagan, but did not hinder the election of his Christian brother, Andrew I as king. Childhood Hungarian chronicles have preserved contradictory information of his parentage. According to one variant, Levente and his two brothersAndrew and Bélawere "the sons of Ladislas the Bald"''The Hungarian Illuminated Chronicle:'' (ch. 60.87), p. 113. and his "wife from Ruthania", that is from the Kievan Rus'. On the other hand, a concurring tradition has preserved that the three brothers were sons of Ladislas the Bald's brother, " Vazul by some girl from the clan" of Tátony. Modern historians – since the research of Péter V ...

Liüntika
Liüntika or Levente (? - before 907) was a Hungarian tribal chieftain, the eldest son of Grand Prince Árpád. As a military leader he participated in the Hungarian Conquest (''Honfoglalás'', "Landtaking"). Positions According to the state structure of Goktürks and Khazars the Crown Prince reigned over the joined people. This is in line with the sources, where Liüntika appeared as leader of the Kabars. The Kabars was the last ethnic group who joined to the Hungarian people. According to Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII the Purple-born – following the narrative of horka Bulcsú – a leader ''(archon)'' ruled the three tribes of the Kabars, even at the time of the Emperor. Constantine viewed that Lüntika was this leader during the Conquest.Györffy György. István király és műve. Gondolat Budapest 1983.

Levente (organization)
Levente Associations ( hu, Leventeszervezetek) or simply ''levente'' were paramilitary youth organizations in Hungary during the interwar period and the Second World War. They were established in 1921 with the declared purpose of physical and health training. As of the mid-1930s, they became a de facto method of circumventing the ban on conscription imposed on Hungary by the Treaty of Trianon and over time, openly became a paramilitary organization under the leadership of military veterans.Ernst Christian Helmreich (1957) "Hungary", '' Praeger''p. 45/ref> As of 1939, under the Act of Defense, all boys aged 12–21 were required to join the ''levente''.Attila Horvath, "War and Peace: the Effects of the World War II on Hungarian Education" in: Roy Lowe (ed.) (1992) "Education & the Second World War: Studies in Schooling & Social Change", The ''levente'' are usually compared to the Hitler Youth of Nazi Germany and the Opera Nazionale Balilla of Italy, but while they also u ...

Repülőgépgyár Levente II
The Repülőgépgyár Levente series is a Hungarian two-seat trainer and liaison aircraft from World War II. Thanks to their simple, easy-to-repair design, despite its seemingly rudimentary appearance, they were well-suited to army co-operation and liaison tasks, and Levente IIs withstood damage well, thus they could survive the fire of contemporary aircraft such as the Lavochkin La-5 and Ilyushin Il-2. Design and development Two prototypes, designed by András Fábián, (Fábián András) were built in Magyar Waggon - és Gépgyár Rt. (Hungarian Wagon and Machine Factory; one of the few big corporations of the time) in Győr. However, a tender was placed by the air forces with the profile change of the MWG, and production rights were eventually given to the Uhry brothers' factory (originally a small private vehicle body manufacturer, which later expanded rapidly and become a very successful competitor of elder corporations). The parasol-wing, open-cockpit tandem two-seat prim ...
