href="/wiki/Priscus" title="Priscus">Priscus the Rhetor</a> (420s–after 472), who recounts that in c. 463 the <a href="/wiki/Saragurs" title="Saragurs">Šaragurs</a> and <a href="/wiki/Onogurs" title="Onogurs">Onogurs</a> were attacked by the <a href="/wiki/Sabir_people" title="Sabir people">Sabirs</a>, who had been attacked by the Avars. In turn, the Avars had been driven off by people fleeing "man-eating <a href="/wiki/Griffin" title="Griffin">griffins</a>" coming from "the ocean" (Priscus Fr 40).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMaenchen-Helfen1976436-20">[19]</a> Whilst Priscus' accounts provide some information about the ethno-political situation in the <a href="/wiki/Don_(river)" title="Don (river)">Don</a>-<a href="/wiki/Kuban" title="Kuban">Kuban</a>-<a href="/wiki/Volga_Delta" title="Volga Delta">Volga</a> region after the demise of the <a href="/wiki/Huns" title="Huns">Huns</a>, no unequivocal conclusions can be reached. <a href="/wiki/Denis_Sinor" title="Denis Sinor">Denis Sinor</a> has argued that whoever the "Avars" referred to by Priscus were, they differed from the Avars who appear a century later, during the time of <a href="/wiki/Justinian" class="mw-redirect" title="Justinian">Justinian</a> (r. 527–565).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDobrovits2003-21">[20]</a> The next author to discuss the Avars, <a href="/wiki/Menander_Protector" title="Menander Protector">Menander Protector</a>, appeared during the 6th century and wrote of <a href="/wiki/G%C3%B6kt%C3%BCrk" class="mw-redirect" title="Göktürk">Göktürk</a> embassies to <a href="/wiki/Constantinople" title="Constantinople">Constantinople</a> in 565 and 568. The <a href="/wiki/Turkic_peoples" title="Turkic peoples">Turks</a> appeared angry at the Byzantines for having made an alliance with the Avars, whom the Turks saw as their subjects and slaves. <a href="/wiki/Tamgan" title="Tamgan">Turxanthos</a>, a Turk prince, calls the Avars "Varchonites" and "escaped slaves of the Turks", who numbered "about 20 thousand" (Menander Fr 43).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhitbyWhitby1986226,_footnote_48-22">[21]</a> Many more, but somewhat confusing, details come from <a href="/wiki/Theophylact_Simocatta" title="Theophylact Simocatta">Theophylact Simocatta</a>, who in c. 629, describes the final two decades of the 6th century. In particular, he claims to quote a triumph letter from Turxanthos: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">For this very <a href="/wiki/Khagan" title="Khagan">Chagan</a> had in fact outfought the leader of the nation of the <a href="/wiki/Durrani" title="Durrani">Abdali</a> (I mean indeed, of the <a href="/wiki/Hephthalites" title="Hephthalites">Hephthalites</a>, as they are called), conquered him, and assumed the rule of the nation. Then he […] enslaved the Avar nation. But let no one think that we are distorting the history of these times because he supposes that the Avars are those barbarians neighbouring on Europe and <a href="/wiki/Pannonian_Basin" title="Pannonian Basin">Pannonia</a>, and that their arrival was prior to the times of the <a href="/wiki/Emperor_Maurice" class="mw-redirect" title="Emperor Maurice">emperor Maurice</a>. For it is by a misnomer that the barbarians on the Ister have assumed the appellation of Avars; the origin of their race will shortly be revealed. So, when the Avars had been defeated (for we are returning to the account) some of them made their escape to those who inhabit <a href="/wiki/Tuoba" title="Tuoba">Taugast</a>. Taugast is a famous city, which is a total of one thousand five hundred miles distant from those who are called Turks, ... Others of the Avars, who declined to humbler fortune because of their defeat, came to those who are called Moukri (<a href="/wiki/Goguryeo" title="Goguryeo">Goguryeo</a>); this nation is the closest neighbour to the men of Taugast; Then the Chagan embarked on yet another enterprise, and subdued all the Ogur, which is one of the strongest tribes on account of its large population and its armed training for war. These make their habitations in the east, by the course of the Til, which Turks are accustomed to call Melas. The earliest leaders of this nation were named <a href="/wiki/Khingila" class="mw-redirect" title="Khingila">Var</a> and <a href="/wiki/Xionites" title="Xionites">Chunni</a>; from them some parts of those nations were also accorded their nomenclature, being called Var and Chunni. Then, while the emperor Justinian was in possession of the royal power, a small section of these Var and Chunni fled from that ancestral tribe and settled in Europe. These named themselves Avars and glorified their leader with the appellation of Chagan. Let us declare, without departing in the least from the truth, how the means of changing their name came to them. […] When the <a href="/wiki/Barsils" title="Barsils">Barsils</a>, <a href="/wiki/Onogurs" title="Onogurs">Onogurs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sabir_people" title="Sabir people">Sabirs</a>, and other Hun nations in addition to these, saw that a section of those who were still Var and Chunni had fled to their regions, they plunged into extreme panic, since they suspected that the settlers were Avars. For this reason they honoured the fugitives with splendid gifts and supposed that they received from them security in exchange. Then, after the Var and Chunni saw the well-omened beginning to their flight, they appropriated the ambassadors' error and named themselves Avars: for among the Scythian nations that of the Avars is said to be the most adept tribe. In point of fact even up to our present times the Pseudo-Avars (for it is more correct to refer to them thus) are divided in their ancestry, some bearing the time-honoured name of Var while others are called Chunni.</blockquote> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Coins_of_the_Avars_6th-7th_centuries_CE_imitating_Ravenna_mint_types_of_Heraclius.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Coins_of_the_Avars_6th-7th_centuries_CE_imitating_Ravenna_mint_types_of_Heraclius.jpg/220px-Coins_of_the_Avars_6th-7th_centuries_CE_imitating_Ravenna_mint_types_of_Heraclius.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="105" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Coins_of_the_Avars_6th-7th_centuries_CE_imitating_Ravenna_mint_types_of_Heraclius.jpg/330px-Coins_of_the_Avars_6th-7th_centuries_CE_imitating_Ravenna_mint_types_of_Heraclius.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Coins_of_the_Avars_6th-7th_centuries_CE_imitating_Ravenna_mint_types_of_Heraclius.jpg/440px-Coins_of_the_Avars_6th-7th_centuries_CE_imitating_Ravenna_mint_types_of_Heraclius.jpg 2x" data-file-width="736" data-file-height="350" /></a><figcaption>Coins of the Avars 6th–7th centuries AD, imitating <a href="/wiki/Ravenna" title="Ravenna">Ravenna</a> mint types of <a href="/wiki/Heraclius" title="Heraclius">Heraclius</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECNG2009-23">[22]</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Avaric_-_Drinking_Bowl_-_Walters_57565_-_Profile.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Avaric_-_Drinking_Bowl_-_Walters_57565_-_Profile.jpg/220px-Avaric_-_Drinking_Bowl_-_Walters_57565_-_Profile.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Avaric_-_Drinking_Bowl_-_Walters_57565_-_Profile.jpg/330px-Avaric_-_Drinking_Bowl_-_Walters_57565_-_Profile.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Avaric_-_Drinking_Bowl_-_Walters_57565_-_Profile.jpg/440px-Avaric_-_Drinking_Bowl_-_Walters_57565_-_Profile.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1800" data-file-height="1302" /></a><figcaption>Gold Avar bowl, found in modern <a href="/wiki/Albania" title="Albania">Albania</a>, c. 700</figcaption></figure> According to the interpretation of Dobrovits and Nechaeva, the Turks insisted that the Avars were only "pseudo-Avars", so as to boast that they were the only formidable power in the Eurasian steppe.

Superficially these victories over the Tiele, Rouran and Hephthalites echo a narrative in the Theophylact, boasting of Tardan's victories over the Hephthalites, Avars and Oghurs. However, the two series of events are not synonymous: the events of the latter took place during Tardan's rule, c. 580–599, whilst Chinese sources referring to the Turk defeat of the Rouran and other Central Asian peoples occurred 50 years earlier, at the founding of the First Turkic Khaganate. It is for this reason that the linguist <a href="/wiki/J%C3%A1nos_Harmatta" title="János Harmatta">János Harmatta</a> rejected the identification of the Avars with the Rouran on this basis. According to <a href="/wiki/Edwin_G._Pulleyblank" title="Edwin G. Pulleyblank">Edwin G.

Later in Europe some Germanic and Slavic groups were assimilated into the Avars.

Many steppe empires were founded by groups who had been defeated in previous power struggles but had fled from the dominion of the stronger group. The Avars were likely a losing faction previously subordinate to the (legitimate)[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">clarification needed</a>] <a href="/wiki/Ashina_tribe" title="Ashina tribe">Ashina clan</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Western_Turkic_Khaganate" title="Western Turkic Khaganate">Western Turkic Khaganate</a>, and they fled west of the <a href="/wiki/Dnieper" title="Dnieper">Dnieper</a>. 2. These groups usually were of mixed origin, and each of its components was part of a previous group. 3. Crucial in the process was the elevation of a khagan, which signified a claim to independent power and an <a href="/wiki/Expansionist" class="mw-redirect" title="Expansionist">expansionist</a> strategy. This group also needed a new name that would give all of its initial followers a sense of identity. 4. The name for a new group of steppe riders was often taken from a repertoire of prestigious names which did not necessarily denote any direct affiliation to or descent from groups of the same name; in the <a href="/wiki/Early_Middle_Ages" title="Early Middle Ages">Early Middle Ages</a>, <a href="/wiki/Huns" title="Huns">Huns</a>, Avars, <a href="/wiki/Bulgars" title="Bulgars">Bulgars</a>, and Ogurs, or names connected with -(o)gur (<a href="/wiki/Kutrigur" class="mw-redirect" title="Kutrigur">Kutrigurs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Utigurs" title="Utigurs">Utigurs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Onogurs" title="Onogurs">Onogurs</a>, etc.), were most important. In the process of name-giving, both perceptions by outsiders and self-designation played a role. These names were also connected with prestigious traditions that directly expressed political pretensions and programmes, and had to be endorsed by success. In the world of the steppe, where agglomerations of groups were rather fluid, it was vital to know how to deal with a newly-emergent power. The symbolical hierarchy of prestige expressed through names provided some orientation for friend and foe alike. Such views are mirrored by <a href="/w/index.php?title=B%C3%A1lint_Csan%C3%A1d&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Bálint Csanád (page does not exist)">Csanád Bálint</a> [<a href="https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1lint_Csan%C3%A1d" class="extiw" title="hu:Bálint Csanád">hu</a>].

Groups who rebelled or fled from the Avar realm could never be called "Avars", but were rather termed "<a href="/wiki/Bulgars" title="Bulgars">Bulgars</a>". Similarly, with the final demise of Avar power in the early 9th century, Avar identity disappeared almost instantaneously.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPohl1998-38">[37]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">page needed</a>] Savelyev and Jeong (2020) in "Early nomads of the Eastern Steppe and their tentative connections in the West" concluded that the initial Pannonian Avars formed in Central Asia from various ethno-linguistic groups, including <a href="/wiki/Iranian_peoples" title="Iranian peoples">Iranian peoples</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ugrians" title="Ugrians">Ugrians</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oghur-Turkic" class="mw-redirect" title="Oghur-Turkic">Oghur-Turks</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Rouran_Khaganate" title="Rouran Khaganate">Rouran</a> tribes. They further note that "the broadly East Asian component in the archaeological record of the European Avars is limited even in the earlier period of their history; elements originating from West Asia, the Caucasus, the Southern Russian steppes and the local Central European cultures can be traced alongside each other".<a href="#cite_note-39">[38]</a> Subsequent analyses from 2022 on Avar remains

According to Book II of the <a href="/wiki/Miracles_of_Saint_Demetrius" title="Miracles of Saint Demetrius">Miracles of Saint Demetrius</a>, a certain Avar Chagan seized his opportunity to coalesce in the regions further north in response to the secession of the Diocese of <a href="/wiki/Sirmium" title="Sirmium">Sirmium</a> in the 670s by a "<a href="/wiki/Kuber" title="Kuber">Kuber</a>" Chagan. <dl><dd>"Finally, the (Avar) Chagan, considering them to constitute a people with an identity of its own put, in accordance to the custom of his race, a chieftain upon them, a man by the name of Kouver. When Kouver (Chagan) learned from some of his most intimate associates the desire of the exiled Romans for their ancestral homes, he gave the matter some thought, then took them together with other peoples, i.e., the foreigners who had joined them, [as is said in the Book of Moses about the Jews at the time of their exodus,] with all their baggage and arms. According to what is said, they rebelled and separated themselves from the (Avar) Chagan. The (Avar) Chagan, when he learned this, set himself in pursuit of them, met them in five or six battles and, being defeated in each one by them, took flight and retired to the regions further north. After the victory, Kouver (Chagan), together with the aforementioned people, crossed the aforementioned river Danube, came to our regions and occupied the Keramesion plain."<a href="#cite_note-71">[70]</a></dd></dl> About this time, <a href="/wiki/Mark_of_Kalt" title="Mark of Kalt">Mark of Kalt</a> records that in 677, the principality of <a href="/wiki/Uzhhorod" title="Uzhhorod">Ungvar</a> (Ung fortress) was established in the regions further north where <a href="/wiki/Kotrag" title="Kotrag">Kotrag</a>'s group also fled following the chaos, and a third group of Onogur-Bulgarians led by Batayan was subdued by <a href="/wiki/Tong_Yabghu_Qaghan#Campaigns_against_Persia" title="Tong Yabghu Qaghan">Ziebel</a>'s emerging Khazar Empire according to <a href="/wiki/Nikephoros_I_of_Constantinople" title="Nikephoros I of Constantinople">Nikephoros I of Constantinople</a>.

The Bulgarians turned on Byzantium who had established an alliance with Ziebel's Khazars. Although the Avar empire had diminished to half its original size, the Avar-Slav alliance consolidated their rule west from the central parts of the mid-Danubian basin and extended their sphere of influence west to the <a href="/wiki/Vienna_Basin" title="Vienna Basin">Vienna Basin</a>. The new ethnic element marked by hair clips for pigtails; curved, single-edged sabres; and broad, symmetrical bows marks the middle Avar-Bulgar period (670–720). New regional centers, such as those near <a href="/wiki/Ozora" title="Ozora">Ozora</a> and <a href="/wiki/Igar" title="Igar">Igar</a> appeared.

A series of Frankish campaigns, beginning from 788, ended with the conquest of the Avar realm within a decade.

At that time, the border between Bavarians and Avars was situated on the <a href="/wiki/Enns_(river)" title="Enns (river)">river Enns</a>. An initial Avarian incursion into Bavaria was repelled, and Franco-Bavarian forces responded by taking the war to neighbouring Avarian territories, situated along the Danube, east of Enns.

The Avars resettled captives from the peripheries of their empire to more central regions. Avar material culture is found south to Macedonia. However, to the east of the Carpathians, there are next to no Avar archaeological finds, suggesting that they lived mainly in the <a href="/wiki/Western_Balkans" class="mw-redirect" title="Western Balkans">western Balkans</a>. Scholars propose that a highly structured and hierarchical Avar society existed, having complex interactions with other "barbarian" groups. The khagan was the paramount figure, surrounded by a minority of nomadic aristocracy. A few exceptionally rich burials have been uncovered, confirming that power was limited to the khagan and a close-knit class of "elite warriors". In addition to hoards of gold coins that accompanied the burials, the men were often buried with symbols of rank, such as decorated belts, weapons, stirrups resembling those found in central Asia, as well as their horse. The Avar army was composed from numerous other groups: Slavic, Gepidic and Bulgar military units. There also appeared to have existed semi-independent "client" (predominantly Slavic) tribes which served strategic roles, such as engaging in diversionary attacks and guarding the Avars' western borders abutting the Frankish Empire. Initially, the Avars and their subjects lived separately, except for Slavic and Germanic women who married Avar men.

They often used light horse archers armed with powerful composite bows, as many other steppe peoples. These archers wore little to no armour, besides occasional helmets or knee guards. The Avars also employed the use of heavy cavalry, fully armoured in chainmail or scale armour as well as helmets. These heavier troops were armed with long lances, swords, and daggers.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKiley2012-118">[117]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">page needed</a>] Upon subjugating the Slavic tribes in Pannonia, they often allied with the Slavs and employed them as foot soldiers even together laying siege to Constantinople, along with large numbers of Persians. These Slav warriors were usually armed with bows, axes, various types of spears, and round shields. The Byzantine Emperor Maurice wrote of the Avars and other nomad peoples in the Strategikon: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">"They give special attention to training in archery on horseback. A vast herd of male and female horses follows them, both to provide nourishment and to give the impression of a huge army. They do not encamp within entrenchments, as do the Persians and the Romans [Byzantines], but until the day of battle, spread about according to tribes and clans, they continuously graze their horses both summer and winter... Also in the event of battle, when opposed by an infantry force in close formation they stay on their horses and do not dismount, for they do not last long fighting on foot. They have been brought up on horseback, and owing to their lack of exercise they simply cannot walk about on their own feet...

László points out that the settlements of the Hungarians (Magyars) complemented, rather than replaced, those of the Avars. Avars remained on the plough fields, good for agriculture, while Hungarians took the river banks and river flats, suitable for pasturage. He also notes that while the Hungarian graveyards consist of 40–50 graves on average, those of the Avars contain 600–1,000. According to these findings, the Avars not only survived the end of the Avar polity but lived in great masses and far outnumbered the Hungarian conquerors of <a href="/wiki/%C3%81rp%C3%A1d" title="Árpád">Árpád</a>. He also shows that Hungarians occupied only the centre of the Carpathian basin, but Avars lived in a larger territory. Looking at those territories where only the Avars lived, there are only Hungarian geographical names, not Slavic or Turkic as would be expected interspersed among them. This is further evidence for the Avar-Hungarian continuity. Names of the Hungarian tribes, chieftains and the words used for the leaders, etc., suggest that at least the leaders of the Hungarian conquerors were Turkic speaking. However, Hungarian is not a Turkic language, rather <a href="/wiki/Uralic_languages" title="Uralic languages">Uralic</a>, and so they must have been assimilated by the Avars that outnumbered them. László's Avar-Hungarian continuity theory posits that the modern <a href="/wiki/Hungarian_language" title="Hungarian language">Hungarian language</a> descends from that spoken by the Avars rather than the conquering Magyars.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELászló1978-120">[119]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">page needed</a>] Based on DNA evidence from graves, the original Magyars most resembled modern <a href="/wiki/Bashkirs" title="Bashkirs">Bashkirs</a>, a Turkic people located near the Urals, whereas the <a href="/wiki/Khanty_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Khanty people">Khanty</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mansi_people" title="Mansi people">Mansi</a>, whose languages most resemble Hungarian, live some ways to the northeast of the Bashkirs.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENeparáczki201761–65-121">[120]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENeparáczkiet_al.2017201–214-122">[121]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENeparáczkiet_al.2018e0205920-123">[122]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Pannonian_Avars&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: See also">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Keszthely_culture" title="Keszthely culture">Keszthely culture</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Treasure_of_Nagyszentmikl%C3%B3s" title="Treasure of Nagyszentmiklós">Treasure of Nagyszentmiklós</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pannonian_Romance" class="mw-redirect" title="Pannonian Romance">Pannonian Romance</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sz%C3%A9kelys" title="Székelys">Székelys</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pal%C3%B3c" title="Palóc">Palóc People</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Pannonian_Avars&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Notes">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-Gnecchi-Ruscone_et_al._2022-19"><a href="#cite_ref-Gnecchi-Ruscone_et_al._2022_19-0">^</a> it is not unlikely that we can assume that groups from the Western Eurasian steppes took part in the Avar migration, and that at least the Avar khagans and their core group were actually descended from the Rouran.
