The History of Hungary: Hungary in the X-XVI centuries #001
The origin of the Hungarians is well known today, they belong to the associations of Finno-Ugric tribes of Central Asia and take their name from the borders of Europe. At the beginning of the next century, they defeated the Moravian Union and conquered Slovakia. Having found a good place for animals and good land for agriculture, they abandoned their nomadic lifestyle and settled in Panonia. The old tribal customs were hardly abandoned, and we are considering the military aspect of the state created in the tenth century. The Hungarian invasions were directed at Byzantium, Italy, but especially at Germany, where the damage was very great. They would be defeated in a decisive battle on August 10, 955 in Lechfeld by the German army led by King Otto the Great. In order to find peace in the eastern part of the German state, an initiative was taken to attract them to Christianity. The Byzantine missionaries also tried, but without much success. This time, the German church believed that it was its duty to bring the Christian religion to the Hungarians, and it would try to do this through missionaries.
The goal was to transform the Hungarians from a terrible enemy into a possible ally in the fight against the pagans. Thus, their leader, Geza (972-997), switched to Christianity, succeeding with the help of the church in order to strengthen the central government and limit the power of the tribal leaders. Stephen followed the parable of the father, and on August 15, 1000, Pope Sylvester II crowned him king in internal actions based on the aristocracy of the people and the creation of a functioning aristocracy. The tribal government was dissolved, committees were organized, and the administrative structure of the state was strengthened. As a result, Hungarians are even more focused on Transylvania, the conquest of which began in the first half of the tenth century. It is noteworthy that the Hungarians found a large number of Christian religions here, as evidenced by the presence in Hungarian of some religious terms such as "Christmas", "holy", taken from local residents, as well as the existence of worship practices characteristic of the Eastern Church. This was the case of Hungarian priests who married in contradiction with the instructions of the Catholic Church, information obtained as a result of discussions held by the Synod of Szobak (1092), as well as evidence of a chronicle painted in Vienna dating back to the fourteenth century.
