The Hungarians fought against the Huns, Slavs, Teutons, Byzantines, Goths, Franks, Italians, and Turks. The Ottomans eventually conquered most of Hungary and the land was partitioned between the Hapsburgs, a Transylvanian rulership, and the Ottomans. Frederick Barbarossa convinced one of the Hungarian Princes to join him with a contingent. The Hungarians participated in a few Crusades. Hungary and Poland was ruled by the same Angevin ruler for a while, Louis I. Thanks to how fucked up the European marriage and land inheritance system was, Hungary was ruled by members of the Angevin Dynasty, the same Dynasty from which Henry II and his son Richard the Lionhearted comes from. The Mongol Invasion would be a hell of a turning point for the Hungarians as they trusted the eastern arrivals less and less and suspected them of helping the Mongols. Trade was obviously important and when the Mongols invaded Khazaria, many of the tribes living there fled to Hungary. There was some pretty terrible uprisings as a result but that's another story for anotehr day. When the Mongols invaded the Cuman-Kipchak Khanates, many refugees from that area went to Hungary. However over time, due to their relations with the Holy Roman Empire the Hungarians would favor Catholicism even more and create prohibitions on Muslims, Jews, and Greek Orthodoxy.Įven as an identifiably European power, the Magyars kept contact with their "homeland," which was ruled by Khazars, Cumans, and Kipchaks. They invited many foreigners to introduce their customs. Hungarians had always been pretty tolerant of other religions and peoples and they ruled over a majority Slavic population. Saint Stephen would be the first King of Hungary after asking the Pope to crown him. The Hungarians were Christianized in around 970 and Saint Stephen was married to Giselle of Bavaria, a member of the Ottonian Dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire. Langauges tend to spread because the ruling class who are frequently conquerors of a certain people will use that language. We can infer that the Magyars did pretty okay and were not quite conquered because they retained their language. A portion of these people were caught up with the Turks at this time, teaching the Magyars to use raise horses and fight as cavalry. The ancestors of the Magyars probably lived somewhere further north, with some of them settling Scandinavia as well as far north in Siberia. The Scythians, related to the Persians, had dominated that area for hundreds of years until Turkic tribes began settling. Our Magyars start off somewhere on the steppes north of the Black Sea. Since the Magyars didn't exist back then, the Teutons represented the Hungarians and it ends up being somewhat historical because the Knights Templar and Teutonic Knights were present at the battle. The final scenario features a 1v1 battle between the Mongols and the Hungarian town of Muhi. The Hungarians cameo in Age of Empires 2 fairly early during the Ghengis Khan campaign.

Byzantine Emperor would even refer to Hungary as "West Tourkia" and to the Khazar state as "East Tourkia." Tourkia is a cognate of "Turkiyye," which roughly means "land of the Turks." For a long period of time you had Hungarians with Turkic names participating in European affairs, marrying and inheriting land. Some of them even claimed to be descended from the Huns. It seems like the Magyars had no problem with this idea and probably identified themselves as members of a larger Turkish ethnicity at the time. Most Europeans believed the Magyars to be yet another wave of invaders from the same tribe that started with the Huns. On-oghur means "ten arrows" in Turkish You'll notice that this is kind of similar to the words Avar, Bulgar, and Khazar, and that's because those guys were probably in the On-Oghur Confederation, too, and the original Hungarians intermarried with them but their language is completely different but I'll get to that later. The word "Hungarian" comes from the On-oghur Confederation that existed in present-day Russia near the Black Sea while the Hungarians ethnonym is Magyar. The Magyars of Forgotten Empires represents the present-day Hungarian people starting with their very first appearance in Europe. LMAO MAGYAR HISTORY!?
