Zoltán of Hungary From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zoltán of Hungary Grand Prince of the Magyars Predecessor Árpád Successor Fajsz Spouse Unnamed daughter of Menmarót Issue Taksony Full name Zoltán or Zaltas or Zolta Father Árpád Mother Unknown Born ? Died c. 947

Zoltán (? – 947), also known as Zaltas, according to the mediaeval chronicles, was the third Grand Prince of the Magyars.

He was the youngest (fifth) son of Árpád[1]. The Gesta Hungarorum names Zolta as the successor of his father, and also mentions that he married a daughter of Menmarót, the local military leader in the region of Bihar (Romanian: Biharea) at the time of the Hungarian conquest (Hungarian: Honfoglalás).

Latest researches questioned his position as a ruler and prefer other sons of Árpád.

In any case, his leadership meant much less than with previous leaders, as during his time, tribal leaders had most of the powers. In this era, the raids of Hungarians (kalandozások) were common in much of Europe.

Zolta [szerkeszt%C3%A9s]

A Wikipédiából, a szabad enciklopédiából. Zolta (másnéven: Solt, Zsolt vagy Zoltán) Árpád legkisebb fia volt azok közül, akiknek nevét a krónikák megőriztek számunkra. A későbbi krónikák szerint ő volt Árpád utóda, mint nagyfejedelem, azonban ez nagy valószínűséggel nem igaz, azért gondolták ezt a későbbi krónikások, mert fia, Taksony nagyfejedelem lett, és a későbbi primogenitúra elv alapján akkor „nyilvánvalóan” Zoltának is annak kellett lennie.

Árpád was the son of Grand Prince Álmos (Grand Prince of the Magyars), leader of the Hungarian tribal federation; his mother's name and descent is unknown[1].

The emergence of the Magyar tribes and their leaders is a specific period in the history of the Hungarian people that refers to the time starting from when the Magyars were considered a people separate and identifiable from other Ugric speakers (1000-500 BC) up until their occupation and settlement of the Carpathian Basin around 896 AD (Hungarian: Honfoglalás)[2].

In 894, Árpád and Kurszán negotiated together with the representatives of the Byzantine emperor, Leo VI the Wise the terms under which the confederation of the Magyar tribes was willing to assist the Byzantine Empire against Emperor Simeon I of Bulgaria.
