Constantine VII does not give the names of the chieftains of the Hungarian tribes, but describes some aspects of the leadership.
According to Anonymus A Hungarian chronicler known as
Anonymus, author of
Gesta Hungarorum, names the seven chieftains as: •
Álmos, father of
Árpád •
Előd, father of
Szabolcs •
Ond, father of
Ete •
Kend (
Kond,
Kund), father of
Korcán (Kurszán) and
Kaplon •
Tas, father of
Lél (Lehel) •
Huba •
Tétény (
Töhötöm), father of
Horka Most probably all persons on this list were real and significant personalities, but the list, as that of the seven chieftains who started the conquest of the Carpathian Basin, is certainly false.
Constantine VII names Tas as a grandson of
Árpád. The relations of the early Hungarian leaders are subject of debate between historians.
According to Simon of Kéza Hungarian chronicler
Simon of Kéza names seven captains who led seven tribes in the
Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum: •
Árpád, son of
Álmos, who was the son of
Előd, who was the son of
Ügyek •
Szabolcs •
Gyula •
Örs •
Künd, father of
Kusid and
Kupian •
Lél •
Vérbulcsú ("Blood-Bulcsú"), whose name's origin is that "his father was killed by Germans in the
battle of Krimhild", and for revenge, "he drank the blood of some, like wine". This list, having more legendary elements, is even less credible than that of Anonymus: only Árpád and Szabolcs match the time of the conquest.
According to Mark of Kalt Hungarian chronicler
Mark of Kalt names seven captains who led seven tribes in the
