Theory of Kummagyaria

There is also the theory of "Kummagyaria" ( la, Cummageria), in which a group that stayed behind possessed a country north of Caucasus. According to László Bendefy, the approximate location of Kummagyaria is the riparian area of the Kuma River, Southern Russia. Odorico Raynaldi (1595–1671) mentioned Papal relations with Jeretany ( hu, Gyeretyán), called the ruler of Hungarians, Malkaites and Alans, in the 1320s. Earlier, Polish diplomat Andrzej Taranowski (1569) had mentioned the latter information. In 1712, the French traveller Aubrey de la Motraye passed through the area. His notes state that from what he heard from the local Tatar population, he maintained that the city of Mazsar was formerly inhabited by Magyars.Tardy, Lajos. ’’Régi hírünk a világban’’, Gondolat, Budapest, 1979
