Mugel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mugel[1] (or Muageris) was the successor of Grod (or Grodas), a Hunnic ruler, from the neighborhood of the city of Bosporus [Boon Phoros: "cattle tax"] in Patria Onoguria. His reign lasted only 2 years, from AD 528 to 530. After him the dominion of Patria Onoguria over northern Oghuric tribes, from the southern Russian steppes to the western Ukraine, diminished and were aggregated by the Pseudo-Avars before restoration under Gokturk rule.
Not so long ago, historical research concluded the term magyar[2] derived from the name of (prince) Muageris, by arguing that "Muageris" had to be a personal name taken from the descriptive designation of a people. It presented the hypothesis that the Huns in the Crimea were, really, the Onogurs, and the names of the two princes mentioned by Malalas (a chronicle - Teophanes had, in his work also called Chronographia, copied data from the Malalas chronicle, and since he relied upon earlier manuscripts of the work, althought not the original of the work, he preserved the Malalas report in more detail) as living in the region of Maeotian Lake (Sea of Azov) and of the Kuban stream during the earlier half of the sixth century, actually referred to people under the rule of the Magyar (Mugel) tribe.
