Note About Erwan's Unites Civ2

[St Leo]

Árpárd himself claimed to be a descedant of Attila, don't know if that is true or not, but Attila did have 20 wives or so.

With the number of generations between now and Attila's time, I wouldn't be surprised if I were a descendant an Attila through both of my parents.

Hope Dengizicus was not your ancestor... if so, you started with the wrong path . He was the only loser. His head was put on Bysanzium hippodrome...

[MagyarCrusader]

Szekèly hungarians were an hungarian tribe subdued by Avarians in VI century and forced to move to Pannonia.

Really? I don't mean to insult you with skepticism, but could you provide a source? I'm not saying it's impossible, but I've never heard that much about them, so I'd be grateful for any further information. All I've heard is that the history of the Szekély Huns is mysterious and incomplete. There are many theories about their arrival and heritage, the most commonly accepted one that I know of was that they were a Magyar tribe that immigrated several centuries prior to the main Magyar immigration (prehaps because of the Avars?). I've also heard a theory that they were Huns left in the area after Attila died and the empire vanished. But these Huns were assimilated by Magyars. I'm not educated enough in any of these theories to dispute either one, so I just say that either one is a possibility. It is a know fact that Szekély culutre is unique to other Hungarians, as they have their own dialacts and customs. I once read that some Hungarian historians claimed that the dialect of rural Szeklers is more true to the original language of the Magyars than the rest of the country.

Two sources...

a) http://www2.4dcomm.com/millenia/history.htm

b) Francis Comte, "The Slavians", Einaudi Editori for Italy ( other nations? dunno... )

Let me spend a few words about Comte's book. When Avaric Khagan Bajna ( or Bajan ) claimed and finally captured the formerly gepidian capital Sirmium in 582 ( occupied by Byzantines shortly after Gepidian final defeat to secure their northern borderland and mantained by a gepidian mercenaries' garrison ), he launched a raid of ten thousand Kutrigurs and Hungarian auxiliaries against Dalmatia in order to ransack and to seize enough lands from empire's danubian borders in order to settle his own Slavonic troops. This is the only mention this book did about ancient Hungarians in Avarians' kingdom chapter, but a few notes identified them with Szekely hungarians.
