Grand Prince of the Hungarians

However, the first grand prince, Álmos, father of Árpád, was more likely appointed by the khagan of the Khazars[citation needed].whether the grand prince was the spiritual leader of the federation (kende), the military commander of the Hungarian tribes (gyula) or the title was a new creation.When the Hungarians were pushed out of Etelköz and moved to the Carpathian Basin (Honfoglalás), the grand prince's power seemed to be decreasing.[further explanation needed] It is not known exactly how many grand princes of Hungary ruled between the supposed date of Árpád‘s death (c. 907) and when Fajsz ascended to the throne (c. 948), because it seems that the chroniclers of the Hungarian kings, who came from the branch of Solt after 1000, wanted to make the people of the kingdom, to forget the rule between 907 and 950, of the other branches of the Árpád dynasty, coming from the other 3 sons of Árpád: Tarkacsu/Liüntika, Jelek, Jutocsa, who, or their offspring probably ruled Hungary during this period, according to the nomadic custom of agnatic seniority, used by the Hungarian rulers before 1000.The De Administrando Imperio preserved the name of Fajsz as the Grand Prince of the Hungarians, because it was written during his reign.
