Arpad
This file is by Mr Theroff.
The Magyars were a nomadic tribe who plundered Europe in
late 9th/early 10th centuries. In about 900, a group under
Arpad (d.907), son of Almos (d.895), settled in what is now
Hungary, though they continued to ravage western Europe till
their defeat by Emperor Otto I in 955.

of the Drummond family. E.S.cites a 1959 work published in
Warsaw as the source for this. I know that it has long been
asserted that the Drummond family was founded by a Hungarian
who returned to Britain with Edward Atheling, so this may be
true. However, the works I have do not supply lineage for
the Drummonds prior to Malcolm Beg Drummond, living early
1200s.
