Hungary MEDIEVAL PERIOD
In the four centuries after their migration into the
Carpathian Basin, the Magyars gradually developed from a
loose
confederation of pagan marauders into a recognized
kingdom. This
kingdom, which became known as Hungary, was led by the
Árpad
Dynsaty and was firmly allied to the Christian West.
Eventually
the Árpad line died out, however, and Hungary again
descended
into anarchy, with the most powerful nobels vying for
control.
