Kabar

The Kabars ( ) or Kavars were a Turkic tribal confederation who lived in the vicinity of Poltava in the 9th century. They consisted of three Khazar tribes who rebelled against the Khazar Khaganate some time in the ninth century; the rebellion was notable enough to be described in Constantine Porphyrogenitus 's work De Administrando Imperio . Subsequently the Kabars were expelled from the Khazar Khaganate and sought refuge by joining the Magyar tribal confederacy called Hét-Magyar (meaning "seven" Magyar). The Kabars accompanied the Magyar migration from the Ukrainian steppe to the Pannonian plain , and participated in the Magyar conquest of Hungary. Around 833 the Magyar tribal confederacy was living in Levedia , between the Don and the Dnieper rivers, within the clientele of the Khazar empire. Toward 850 or 860, driven from Levedia by the Pechenegs , they entered Atelkuzu ( Etelköz ). The Magyars reached the Danube river basin around 880. Shortly afterward, the Byzantine emperor Leo VI , being then at war with Simeon , the Bulgarian czar , called the Magyars to his aid. The Magyars, led by Árpád , crossed the Danube and put Bulgaria to fire and the sword. But the Bulgarians then appealed to the Pechenegs, now masters of the steppe, who attacked the Magyars in the rear and forced them to take refuge in the mountains of Transylvania . At that moment, Arnulf , king of Germania, at war with the Slav ruler Svatopluk , king of Great Moravia , decided like the Byzantine to appeal to the Hungarians. The Magyars came in haste and overcame Svatopluk, who disappeared in the conflict (895). Great Moravia collapsed, and the Magyars took up permanent abode in Hungary (907). The origin of the name Hungary is believed to originate from the Utigur Bulgar tribal confederacy named On-Ogur , (meaning "ten" Ogurs) (comparable to Tokuz-Oguz (meaning "nine" Oguz)), who ruled the territory of Hungary prior to the arrival of the Magyars. Many Kabars settled in the Bihar region of the later Kingdom of Hungary and Transylvania . Some historian believe that the character recorded by Gesta Hungarorum as lord Marot and his grandson Menumorut , dux of Biharia , were of Kabar descent . One of the names on the Kievian Letter is "Kiabar", which may suggest that Kabars settled in Kiev as well. At least some Kabars were Jewish ; others may have been Christians, Muslims or shamanists. The presence of a Turkic aristocracy among the Magyars could explain the Byzantine protocol by which, in the exchange of ambassadors under Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Magyar rulers were always referred to as "Princes of the Turks". The Kabars eventually assimilated into the general Magyar population, leaving scattered remains and some cultural and linguistic imprints. Some scholars believe that the Székely are their descendants.

The Kabars ( ) or Khavars were Khalyzians , Turkic Khazar people who joined the Magyar confederation in the 9th century.
