An Oriental nomadic people, related to the Huns. Having emigrated from central Asia, they reached southern Russia around the middle of the 6th century, invaded present-day Hungary and Austria, and then launched raids on Bavaria in particular. They were finally defeated by Charlemagne during the Summer of 796.
