| Tartalmi kivonat: | According to the unanimous opinion of Hungarian historians Géza became prince at the beginning of the 970's (between 970—972). However, there is no convincing evidence to support this statement. On the contrary, the Chronicle of Zágráb (Zagreb, Croatia), which preserves archaic pieces of information, mentions Géza as being prince in 963. Géza's alleged ascension to the throne of prince in 963 (962?) can be associated with that allegation according to which the Pope consecrated a bishop for the Hungarians. Emperor Otto I however, prevented this prelate from reaching the Carpathian Basin. From the failure of this attempt Géza had to come to the conclusion that the conversion of the Hungarians could only be possible with the cooperation of Otto I. This explains why the archbishop of Mainz (chief chaplain of the emperor) consecrated a bishop for the Hungarians in 972, and in 973 twelve Hungarian leaders, probably as envoys of Géza, visited Otto I in his court in Quedlinburg. The fact that several pieces of information on early Hungarian history are preserved by the Chronicle of Zágráb and it provides invaluable evidence nowhere else to be found about members of the Arpád-dynasty, lends credence to this 963 date as well. If the beginning of Géza's reign can be dated to 963 (962?) — and not to 972 —, the reign of Taksony, who preceded him, must be shortened by nearly a decade. This may be reflected by the fact that Taksony's name was not preserved in the Árpád royal line of succession as a ruler's name, however, names of other 9—10th century princes, who either had ruled for a long time, or their names were associated with famous deeds, were upheld by the family tradition. |
