The Hétmagyar confederation was strengthened when three tribes of the Kabars, who had rebelled against the Khazars, joined them before 881. It is unclear whether Álmos became the kende (spiritual leader) of the confederation or its gyula (military leader.)Īt that time, the Magyar tribes were living under Khazar supremacy.īefore 862, the seven Magyar tribes, living in the area they called Etelköz, seceded from the Khazars afterwards, they were exacting tribute from the neighbouring Slavic tribes and they fought occasionally as mercenaries on behalf of King Carloman of Bavaria, King Arnulf I of Germany and King Svatopluk I of Great Moravia. Modern historians usually follow the tradition that Álmos was the first Grand Prince in the second half of the 850s. The legend is often given as an explanation for the name Álmos, which is derived from the Hungarian word for "dream."Īccording to the medieval chronicles, Álmos was proclaimed Grand Prince of the Magyars by the leaders of the Hétmagyar, the confederation of the seven Magyar tribes, but the De Administrando Imperio states that the office was created by the Khagan of the Khazars, and that it was not Álmos, but his son Árpád, who became the first Grand Prince.
The medieval chronicle recounts the story of his birth thusly: "his pregnant mother had seen a divine vision in her dream of a Turul bird, as it were flying over her and getting her with child and a spring seemed to rise from her womb and many great kings originated from her loins, although they would multiply not in their own lands".
