Quick Reference
The Hungarian tribes of semi-nomadic herders, the birthplace of which modern scholars consider the area west of the Urals , in the 1st millennium AD, supposedly moved to the Kama basin, then to the Black Sea and Azov steppes and for a long time were under Khazar rule. In the years 895 - 896, the Hungarians crossed the Carpathians and occupied land in the Middle Danube basin (the so-called "Finding the homeland"). There was a transition to a settled way of life, agriculture. At the beginning of the XI century the Kingdom of Hungary arose, then Catholicism was adopted [1] .
