The Settlement of the Magyar Turkic Tribes in Pannonia

895 CE · Pannonia (Macaristan) · migration

Fleeing the Pontic steppe under Pecheneg pressure, the Magyars — a people partly intermixed with Oghur tribes of Turkic origin — settled on the Pannonian plain under the leadership of the Árpád dynasty.

Their Christianization in Pannonia took place in 1000 CE (King Stephen I). The layer of Turkic vocabulary in the Hungarian language is the historical legacy of this period.
