King Arpad.
He was a talented military commander and was instrumental in establishing Budapest around 886 A.D. According to the historians, the Magyar (Hungarians) migrated west from an area that is now within present day Mongolia. Known for excellent horsemanship and as deadly mounted archers, they were much feared light and fast Cavalry. Though not Tartars, they foretold of a much greater invasion yet to come. A medieval prayer tells the tale: ?Oh Lord, protect us from the horses and arrows of the Magyar?.
