Lebedias

Lebedias

Lebedias, also called "Leved", "Levedias", and "Lebedi" was a semi-legendary ninth-century chieftain of the Magyars. Lebedias' wife was a Khazar princess, and he was close to the Khazar ruling dynasty. He may himself have been part Khazar. According to Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus' "De administrando imperio", the Khazars sought to make Lebedias the paramount ruler of all the Hungarian tribes, but he refused, possibly because he was childless or because his close ties to the Khazar government were resented by other Magyar leaders. Instead, Lebedias proposed Álmos and his son Árpád as leaders of the Magyars.
