Sources

Besides sources, I would argue that the term "invasion" is not good here. An "invasion" is usually used to describe an attack aimed at conquest, whereas an "incursion" or "raid" might mean a short, sharp attack that was not aimed at holding property. The Hungarians wanted to keep their potential destroyers weak and so backed pretenders to thrones etc., in order to keep them off balance. This succeeded and kept invasions out for about 120 years.vitéz 17:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cavszabo (talk • contribs) It's worth following this thread up, but the title should be changed. The word "invasion" is misleading, as these were military campaigns carried out by expeditionary forces of a people settled in the Carpathian Basin. "Campaigns" would be a better title. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cavszabo (talk • contribs) 18:54, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Essay style

Its look like a test page, maybe good to sandbox. But it also looks like a original research or essay, because its only one citation there and than unsourced matherial. Next reason is, that I have not found the name of article "Hungarian invasions of Europe" in the google scholar: http://scholar.google.sk/scholar?q=%22Hungarian+invasions+of+Europe%22&hl=sk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samofi (talk • contribs) 13:37, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Editing the Tactics section

Hi, I red the chapter called Tactics, and I find it having wrong informations, based on a book, which used old, outdated informations about the Hungarian war tactics. For example there is not true, that Hungarians avoided the battles, and just plundered the regions they attacked, than run away when an enemy army appeared. This period is full with crushing Hungarian victories over huge European armies, resulting major deaths among the European military, political and religious leaders: Battle of Brenta, Battle of Pressburg, Battle of Püchen, Battle of Augsburg (910), Battle of Rednitz, Battle of Eisenach, etc. The new scientific result on this period is that the Hungarian armies, when they had enough warriors, they did not run away, but in the contrary, sought to fight and defeat the enemy armies, in order to not to be disturbed on their attacks against the towns and monasteries. Furthermore, at least between 910-933, the Europeans were affraid of entering in battle with the Hungarians, and this is why in many of the Hungarian raids, the enemy rulers sought refuge behind walled towns and castles instead of fighting them, other time they buyed their non-attendance with tribute. So, my request is, please let me change that chapter, allowing me to delete, if needed some lines. Thanks.Sylvain1975 (talk

Meeting with Saints Cyril and Methodius in 882

The article says "882 – The Hungarian "king" meet with Saints Cyril and Methodius at the Lower Danube to discuss". The problem is that Cyril died in 869. --118.238.250.193 (talk) 08:37, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
