Popular Article: Ãrpád
Ãrpád (c. 845 – c. 907) was the second Grand Prince of the Magyars (c. 895 – c. 907). The dynasty descending from him ruled the Magyar tribes and later the Kingdom of Hungary until 1301. While he is not the father of Hungary, he did establish the dynasty that would shape the life of the Magyar people for several centuries. He may have been a spiritual as well as temporal leader; this period was before the Hungarians converted to Christianity towards the end of the tenth century, a time when the Magyar religion was a blend of ancestor worship and paganism.
