Alaptolma

Alaptolma

Alaptolma (or Tolma) is a legendary Magyar tribal chieftain who lived in the first part of the 10th century.

According to the medieval Gesta Hungarorum Alaptolma built a castle on the estate of his father, Ketel at confluence of the Danube and Váh (Hungarian: Vág) rivers. This ancient castle became the core of the town of Komárom/Komárno. Today Ketel and Alaptolma are honoured as the legendary founders of the city.
