III/30 MAGYAR 650 AD - 1003 AD

The Magyars were a Finno-Ugrian race of horsemen who moved west on to the steppe in the 5th century, becoming subject- allies of the Khazars after 650. They became independent in the early 8th century, when they migrated to the plains of the middle Danube. This list starts with the Magyar’s first appearance as allies to the Khazars and ends with their metamorphosis into the Christian Kingdom of Hungary under Stephen 1. Magyar armies raided far into Europe between 899 and their defeat at the Lechfeld in 955 by Otto I of Germany led to Otto being proclaimed Holy Roman Emperor. Kavars were dissident Khazar tribes that joined the Magyars. Szekely were an elite that formed the vanguard in battle and may have been remnant Avars. Reference: Annies of the Dark Ages 1. Heath.
