Magars and the Gold of Dacia

Attracted by the legends of the gold of Dacia some 1100+ years ago a group of the Magar people, mercenaries for hire at the foots of Himalayan mountains moved probably following or escorting a caravan together with their women on the silk road, all the way to central Europe.

They could not find gold when they arrived, the part that was easy to exploit was gone and because they had no land and no skills for the local type of agriculture they started to raid eastern and western Europe for about 100 years until about year 1000 when they settled and catolicized and enslaved the local Daco-Roman (modern Romanian) population by closing a large part of their territory west of Carpathian mountain by placing their allies, the Székelys sometimes also referred to as Szeklers, a Turkic nomadic people (from which they borrowed a large part of their language which still has the magar core), at east, near the mountains and themselves at west near the eastern border of the Holy Roman Empire, in the place once inhabited by the Huns.

When late medieval states started to form all over Europe, Hungary as we know it emerged from the union of thee different people, the Magyars, The Székelys and some Germans settlers they invited to close another area of the border, south of the The Székely, again, ignoring the Romanian majority, caught in the middle.
