Mugel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mugel[1] (or Muageris) was one of two sons and successors of Grod (or Grodas), a Hunnic ruler of the Kutrigurs, in Patria Onoguria. He and his brother Chinialus established their father Ingrod son of Tana as ruler of the Utigurs/Onogurs in Crimea. Mugel's reign lasted only 2 years, from AD 528 to 530 before being succeeded by his brother Chinialus.

Not so long ago, historical research concluded the term magyar[1] derived from the name of (prince) Muageris, by arguing that "Muageris" had to be a personal name taken from the descriptive designation of a people. It presented the hypothesis that the Huns in the Crimea were, really, the Onogurs, and the names of the two princes mentioned by Malalas (a chronicle - Teophanes had, in his work also called Chronographia, copied data from the Malalas chronicle, and since he relied upon earlier manuscripts of the work, although not the original of the work, he preserved the Malalas report in more detail) as living in the region of Maeotian Lake (Sea of Azov) and of the Kuban stream during the earlier half of the sixth century, actually referred to people under the rule of the Magyar (Mugel) tribe.
