taksony of hungary

Taksony (c. 905 - 970) (Slovak: Takšoň) was the fejedelem (ruling prince) of Hungary between 955 and 970. We have few details on his life. His father was Zoltan of Hungary. Taksony's policies were a change from the previous habit of the Hungarian leaders of conducting rapid raids on neighbouring countries, as he was probably present at the Battle of Lechfeld, where the Hungarian army was defeated and lost its leader Bulcs. Relations with the Byzantine Empire progressively deteriorated, possibly due to progaganda from the Holy Roman Emperor Otto who depicted the Hungarians as ungoldy. In the second half of his reign Taksony increasingly pursued campaigns against Byzantine Empire. Although Taksony asked the pope to send a bishop to Hungary (a request which was thwarted by Otto), he didn't follow an open policy to the spreading of Christianity within his realm. Taksony arranged the marriage of his son Gza to Sarolt, the daughter of the Gyula of Transylvania. He also had a son called Michael. Taksony of Hungary Taksony of Hungary
