Zoltán (died 947 or 948), also known as Zaltas and Solt, according to the mediaeval chronicles, was the third Grand Prince of the Magyars from 907 to 947 or 948.
He was the youngest (fifth) son of Árpád. The Gesta Hungarorum names Zolta as the successor of his father, and also mentions that he married a daughter of Menumorut, the local military leader in the region of Bihar (Romanian: Biharea) at the time of the Hungarian conquest (Hungarian: Honfoglalás).
Latest researches questioned his position as a ruler and prefer other sons of Árpád.
In any case, his leadership meant much less than with previous leaders, as during his time, tribal leaders had most of the powers. In this era, the raids of Hungarians (kalandozások) were common in much of Europe.
