Unbelievable, but there was a time when two Hungary existed at the same time
In western Europe, the two areas were also distinguished.
Historical science is still uncertain about where the Hungarians came to the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century. Our nomadic ancestors came into contact with many peoples during their wanderings in Asia and were in the region of the Volga and Kama rivers in the early 120s.
The date is interesting because at that time, exactly in 1235, a Dominican monk named Julianus’s friend arrived there (that is, in the territory of today’s Bashkiria). In the land of the Bulgarians of Volga, he then stumbled upon a woman, to whose greatest shock he understood every word.

Following the woman’s directions, Julian found the eastern Hungarians on a two-day walk along the banks of the river Etil. Since they really didn’t need an interpreter, he could ask them thoroughly. He learned from them that the Mongol Tartars were planning a massive campaign against Germany (and thus the Kingdom of Hungary on the way), so he decided to return quickly.
When he set out again for the Eastern Hungarians in 1237, he only reached Suzdal, because the barbarian enemy had ravaged the homeland of our brothers around the Volga-Kama. Some fugitives even reported to Julian the destruction of the country, and that was essentially the last point we heard about them.

The Dominican monk called the destroyed land of the eastern Hungarians Magna Hungaria, and probably considered it the homeland of our people. This idea lasted until the 20th century, but today’s historians make the place of their homeland much east.
The most interesting thing is that in the Western tradition for a long time (including in the time of Julian) it can be clearly stated that there are indeed two stories in Hungary – there are In the study of István Zimonyi van. Magna Hungaria (Greater Hungary) was the former eastern residence, while the new house in the Carpathian Basin was called Hungaria minor (Little Hungary).
