History

The Kabars rebelled against the

Khazaria among the Varangian traders in Rostov helped to raise the latter's prestige, with the consequence that by the 830s a new power center known as the Rus' Kaganate had come into existence."[6]

In 894, the

Magyar invasion of Pannonia and the subsequent formation of the Principality of Hungary in the late 9th century.[7]
Great Moravia collapsed, and the Hungarians took up permanent abode in Hungary (907).

The presence of a Turkic aristocracy among the Hungarians could explain the Byzantine protocol by which, in the exchange of ambassadors under Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Hungarian rulers were always referred to as "Princes of the Turks".[8]

Archaeological theories on religion

At least some of the Khazar elite apparently converted to Judaism,[9] but this might not have included Kabars.[10][11] The conversion did not seem to have impacted most of the population in the Khazar Khaganate: paganism remained as the religion of the majority of the population, and there were also notable Christian and Muslim groups.[9] Since the conversion to Judaism was initiated by the ruler, the theory that the rebels against the ruler would have joined to the conversion has been questioned. There is also debate about the date of Kabars joining to Magyars and it could have happened before the Khazar elite's conversion.[10] Still, according to a theory, graves with Jewish symbols found in modern-day Čelarevo, Serbia could be related to Kabars.[11]

The Kabars supposedly left scattered remains and some cultural and linguistic imprints, but this is debatable.
