Kende

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The kende (or kündü) was one of the kings of the dual-monarchy of the early Magyars, along with the gyula or war-chief. At the time of the Magyar migration to Pannonia, the Kende was named Kurszán. Upon Kurszan's death in a raid in approximately 907 CE, the office was taken up by the gyula Árpád, creating a single-head monarchy for Hungary. Though there are some scholars (for example Gyula Kristó) who believe that Árpád was the kende, who later took up the functions of the gyula.

Some scholars have speculated that the early Magyar dual kingship derived from their time as vassals of the Khazars. Indeed, the Khazars were described by ibn Fadlan as having an officer titled Kündür which may have been either identical to, model for or the forerunner of the office of kende.

Kende is also a Hungarian male given name, but it's quite rare.
