The Batavian myth was the idea that the Dutch people descended from the Batavians, a German tribe which settled in the Low Countries during the first century BC. Their revolt against the Roman rulers in AD 67, recorded in Tacitus' Historiae, remained an inspiration in Dutch historiography and politics up to the nineteenth century. This article focuses on two elements of the Batavian story in connection with Hungarian history. Firstly, the Batavians were soldiers in the Roman army, who encamped in the region of the Danube near Budapest, after having left the Rhine delta. Secondly, the early humanist Dutch chronicler Cornelius Aurelius introduced a Batavian ancestor, a Hungarian prince called Battus. The details of these two independent facts are discussed as part of the history of Dutch-Hungarian relationship.

Theophanes Confessor, Byzantine author of the early 9th century, when referring to the Khazars in his work entitled Chronographia, used the term “Eastern Turks”. It is widely accepted that Byzantine authors used such terms in pairs, so the pendant of “Eastern Turks” was “Western Turks”, the latter being used to denote the early Hungarians. This conclusion is based on the fact that Byzantine chroniclers called the Hungarians Turks at the end of the 9th century. Theophanes mentioned the Khazars as Eastern Turks, as if he had information on a people also called Turks living west of the Khazars. However, not all historians shared this view, and some of them supposed that Theophanes applied the term Eastern Turks in a geographical sense, since the Khazars had lived east of the Byzantine Empire. The solution to this problem has far-reaching consequences. If Theophanes referred to the Hungarians, that would mark their first appearance in written sources at the beginning of the 9th century. But the pendant of the “Eastern Turks” in the chronicle of Theophanes Confessor, is not the “Western Turks”, but the “Western Huns”.
The Carpathian Basin and the lower Volga were once centres of nomadic tribal confederacies and empires, which had a strong impact on mediaeval European history. As for the former, the Huns, Avars and Hungarians are well worth mentioning. The Hungarians were converted in 1000 and with their Christianisation entered Latin Europe. The Khazars played an important role in the history of Kievan Rus', whereas the Golden Horde had a basic effect on the formation of Russia. The peoples of the steppe played an important role during the formation of Europe, a fact which has been neglected in historiography.
