| Arpads | rpd | c. 895 -c. 907 | is said to have led the proto-Magyars into Central Europe; he probably ruled together with Kursan |
| see remarks | c.907- c. 955 | The rulers during this time period are strongly disputed, mainly because Hungary consisted of several tribes led by various leaders. The only more or less sure fact is that Fajsz was the main leader around 948. The most frequent propositions of scholars are: - Szabolcs (c. 907 -?, non-dynastic), Fajsz/Fali (c. ? - 955, Arpads)
- Tarhos (c. 907 - after 922, Arpads), Zoltn (after 922 - c. 947, Arpads), Fajsz/Fali (c. 947 - c. 955, Arpads)
- Zoltn (c. 907 - c. 947, Arpads), Fajsz/Fali (c. 947 - c. 955, Arpads)
