Magyar and Khazars

[The Wizard]

The Khazars were a Turkic tribe from one of the three tribal confederations that emerged from the Türküt Khakhanate. They were one of the first Turkic tribes to move westwards, if not the first (since it is unsure if Bulgars were actually Turks, or rather Iranian).

Thanks , please some details , about the Turkut Khakhanate and the three tribal confederations . what happened to the Khazars ?

[skeletor]

Thats not really clear, as there is little evidence, but apparantly they were in parts overrun by the rus, and migrated to Poland, but was at the end whiped out by Genghis Khan.

You could try reading this article... Alot of reading about the affairs of the Khazars, Bulgars, Byzantines, and muslims.

I doubt that they moved to Poland. It's more likely that some became steppe auxalries for multiple nations including Russia and the Byzantines. Some probably were absorbed by the Pechenegs and later Qipchaqs, and ended up in Hungary (which was the typical ending place for defeated steppe tribes).

I doubt it mate, I will try to find some info on them, but since I don't speak their language I will be deprived of some great sources .
