Does anyone have any good images of a medieval Magyar during the time of the great Magyar raids in central and eastern Europe (10th century CE)? I can't seem to find any, and I'd like to give my class some idea of what the Magyars would have looked like. Maybe even a scanned image from an Angus McBride or an Osprey book?
My students will thank you!
Cheers

Re: Images of Magyars
Osprey Men-at-Arms 150, The Age of Charlemagne (by David Nicolle), contains a picture of a Magyar cavalryman by Angus McBride (picture G). I have the book, but no scanner, unfortunately. Maybe someone else could scan it?

This is from the Concord Publications 'Barbarians' book, and of course is by the impeccable McBride:

I have one from the Atilla and the Nomad Hordes, as well as a few others... I will try and scan them when I get a chance.

Re: Images of Magyars
Here's one from Age of the Crusaders, again by McBride, which not many of you probably will have seen. It depicts the battle of Lechfeld, in particular where a lone Carolingian horseman has bravely charged at 3 Magyar cavalrymen. Sorry for the quality it was tough to scan:
