Magyars

Magyars [CP].
Barbarian people, perhaps Finnish in origin, who migrated into southern Europe, and in the early 10th century ad occupied Hungary, from where their horsemen raided into France, Italy, Germany, and even Spain. Defeated at the battle of Lechfeld in AD 955, they settled down in Hungary and established a civilized Christian kingdom which survived into modern times.
