    Árpád (c.850–907) was de stichter van het huidige Hongarije en van de Hongaarse koningsdynastie der Árpáden.

    Ten tijde van de geboorte van Árpád woonden de Magyaren in het westen van de Oekraïne in een gebied dat Etelköz werd genoemd. Van daaruit voerden de Magyaren jarenlang (vanaf 860) rooftochten uit in Europa. Árpád was de zoon van Álmos en als zodanig leider van een van de zeven Magyaarse stammen. Geleidelijk werden de Magyaren een factor in de Europese politiek en in 892 sloot Álmos een verbond met Arnulf van Karinthië tegen Moravië, en in 894 sloot hij een verbond met het Byzantijnse Rijk tegen de Bulgaren. Árpáds zoon Levente wist in 895 de Bulgaren te verslaan, waarna die gedwongen waren om vrede te sluiten met het Byzantijnse Rijk.

    De Bulgaren sloten op hun beurt echter een verbond met de Petsjenegen. Tezamen versloegen deze volken in 895 de Magyaren in een veldslag aan de Zuidelijke Boeg. Na het overlijden van Álmos, er zijn aanwijzingen dat zijn dood een politieke of rituele moord was, werd Árpád door de Magyaarse stammen tot fejedelem of gemeenschappelijk leider gekozen. De Magyaren kenden een dubbel leiderschap: Árpád was de militaire leider en ene Kursan was de cermonieel/religieuze koning. Om te ontkomen aan de plunderende Petsjenegen, leidde Árpád de Magyaarse stammen over de Karpaten naar het westen. Daar vestigden zij zich in het gebied rond de Tisza (896), wat het begin vormde van het koninkrijk Hongarije.

    In 898 legde Árpád op een rijksdag in Szeged de regering en de rechtspraak van Hongarije vast. Datzelfde jaar viel hij op verzoek van Arnulf van Karinthië, Italië binnen en versloeg een Italiaans leger aan de Brenta. Hij maakte gebruik van het overlijden van Arnulf om Pannonië en delen van Moravië te bezetten, waarmee het middeleeuwse Hongarije zijn vorm heeft gekregen. In 904 wordt Kursan door de Beieren gedood en Árpád neemt ook zijn functie op zich. Daarmee is Árpád een echte Europese koning geworden. In 907 weet hij Hongarije voor lange tijd veilig te stellen door bij Bratislava een groot Beiers leger vernietigend te verslaan.

    Árpád overleed in 907, waarna zijn afstammelingen het leiderschap overnamen.

    Árpád (c. 840 – c. 907)[1] was the second Grand Prince of the Hungarians (Magyars) (c. 895 – c. 907). Under his rule the Hungarian people settled in the Carpathian basin. The dynasty descending from him ruled the Principality of Hungary and later the Kingdom of Hungary until 1301.

    His life

    Árpád was the son of Grand Prince Álmos (Grand Prince of the Hungarians), leader of the Hungarian tribal federation; his mother's name and descent is unknown.[citation needed] According to a Hungarian legend, he was a son of an Émésé and Turul (Sacred Hawk), following the old concept of "son of heaven", "Tanyu" or "Shanyu", same title of his supposed ancestor Attila.
    The Hungarians led by Árpád crossing the Carpathians - a detail of the Arrival of the Hungarians by Árpád Feszty et al. oil on canvas cyclorama (Ópusztaszer National Memorial Site, Hungary)

    The emergence of the Hungarian tribes and their leaders is a specific period in the history of the Hungarian people that refers to the time starting from when the Hungarians were considered a people separate and identifiable from other Ugric speakers (1000-500 BC) up until their occupation and settlement of the Carpathian Basin around 896 AD (Hungarian: Honfoglalás).[2] According to Koestler[3] the Onogurs were led by Prince Árpad, breaking part of the Khazars empire. Árpad led 10 tribes (Onogurs) in what was known as the second hun invasion in Europe.[4] The ten tribes were: 3 tribes (Ság, Ladány, Berény-Tárkány) settled in Hungarian Transilvania plus 7 tribes (Megyer/Magyar/Madar/Madjar/Muageris, Jeno, Keszi, Nyék, Kér, Tarján e Kürt/Kubat/Kubrat) settled in Panonia

    In 894, Árpád and Kurszán negotiated together with the representatives of the Byzantine emperor, Leo VI the Wise the terms under which the confederation of the Hungarian tribes was willing to assist the Byzantine Empire against Emperor Simeon I of Bulgaria.

    In the spring of next year, the Hungarian tribes attacked the Bulgarian Empire and defeated Emperor Simeon I, requiring him to conclude peace with the Byzantine Empire. Emperor Simeon, however, entered into an alliance with the Pechenegs, the eastern neighbours of the Hungarian tribal federation. They then made an attack against the Hungarian armies. In the Battle of Southern Buh, Emperor Simeon I defeated their army; shortly afterwards, the Pechenegs attacked and pillaged their territories. The Hungary tribes were required to leave Etelköz and move to the Carpathian Basin where they settled down (Honfoglalás).

    The circumstances of Álmos' death are uncertain. The leaders of the seven Hungarian tribes proclaimed Árpád to Grand Prince of the Hungarians.[5]

    In 896 the Hungarian tribes occupied the Upper Tisza river, from there they undertook numerous looting raids in central and western Europe, and in 900/901 they moved to Pannonia.[6] The Hungarians entering the Pannonian fields in 896 may have represented about 200,000–250,000 people. He settled in what is now Hungary in about 900, though the Hungarians continued to ravage western Europe til their defeat by Emperor Otto I in 955.

    Based on Arabic sources, Árpád's title seems to have been kende[7] or gyula. In that time kende was the spiritual leader of the Hungarian tribes, while the gyula led their military campaigns. According to legends, Árpád held the first "parliamentary" session with 40 other "nobles" on horseback before 900 AD.

    Legacy

    Although the founder of the Kingdom of Hungary was not Árpád (as he lived a century earlier) - but his descendant Saint Stephen I –, he is generally thought of as the forefather of Hungarians and is often affectionally mentioned as our father Árpád (Hungarian: Árpád apánk). Árpád was the founder of the dynasty named after him, which would rule over the kingdom of Hungary till 1301.
  • He died in the year 907, he was 57 years old.
  • A child of Álmos der Mayaren
