The Hungarian Nomadic State and its Princes in the 9-10th Centuries

The work deals with the emergence of the Hungarian Nomadic State in 9-10th centuries and with its transformation into a Christian-Feudal European State. Our contemporary sources testified that, the Hungarians lived originally in a tribal or clan system, without common leader. The first known case of their common operating is when they fought and lived together with the Khazars, for three years, about 840 or 850. The establishment of the Hungarian Nomadic State was initiated by the Khazar khagan, who nominated the first Hungarian prince. It is connected with the joining of the powerful Kabars, who seceded from the Khazars. As a result, were established by Hungarians a double and later a triple kingship, on the ground of ethnical complexity. It was similar with the organization of the Hun Empire, where the cooperation of the different ethnical groups via their leaders dependence from the great King. After the Hungarian Conquest the subordinate princes established independent territories from the great Prince. The personal dependencies transformed into a territorial power, grounded the possibility of the emergence of the feudalism in Hungary.
