Zoltán of Hungary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zoltán, also known as Zolta, Zaltas, was a ruler of Hungary in the early 10th century. He was probably the son of Árpád and the father of Taksony and possibly Jutas. Gesta Hungarorum names Zolta as the son and successor of Árpád. Although he ruled Hungary from 907 to 946, his leadership meant much less than with previous leaders, as during his time, tribal leaders had most of the powers. Latest researches questioned his position as a ruler and prefer other sons of Árpád.

In this era, the raids of Hungarians were common in much of Europe.
