Lád (genus)
Lád (''Laad'') or Vérbulcsú (''Werbulchu'') were the name of a ''gens'' (Latin for "clan"; ''nemzetség'' in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, which possessed lands in Transdanubia around Lake Balaton. They were among those clans, who participated in the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin in the late 9th century. The ancestors of the kindred were '' harka''s Kál and his son Bulcsú. Age of principality Origin The Lád clan directly originated from that tribe which settled down in Transdanubia around Lake Balaton and on the west side of the mountain Badacsony in the late 9th century, during the Hungarian conquest. The earliest known member is chieftain Kál, who was the father of the skilled military leader Bulcsú. Although 13th-century chroniclers wrongfully attributed Bulcsú's activity to the time of the Hungarian conquest, it was presumably Kál or his father who conquered the aforementioned region. Mátyás Gyóni assumed that Kál and Bulcsú were of Kha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Principality Of Hungary
The Grand Principality of Hungary or Duchy of Hungary (: "Hungarian Grand Principality", ) was the earliest documented Hungarian state in the Carpathian Basin, established in 895 or 896, following the 9th century Magyar invasion of the Carpathian Basin. The Hungarians, a semi-nomadic people, formed a tribal alliance led by Árpád (founder of the Árpád dynasty) who arrived from Etelköz, their earlier principality east of the Carpathians.Paul Lendvai''The Hungarians: a thousand years of victory in defeat'' C. Hurst & Co., 2003, pp. 15–29, 533 During the period, the power of the Hungarian Grand Prince seemed to be decreasing irrespective of the success of the Hungarian military raids across Europe. The tribal territories, ruled by Hungarian warlords (chieftains), became semi-independent polities (e.g., the domains of Gyula the Younger in Transylvania). These territories were united again only under the rule of St. Stephen. The semi-nomadic Hungarian population adop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
