Prince Csaba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Hungarian mythology, Csaba was the son of Attila, King of the Huns. A skilled warrior, he led the Huns to victory over every enemy army that attacked them.

But after Csaba's death, the Huns had no one to take his place. Seizing their chance, the enemies of the Huns launched an assault on the Hun kingdom. As they met on the field of battle, the enemy generals mocked the Huns, saying "and who will save you now that Csaba is gone?" But no sooner had those words been spoken than a bright pathway of stars (the Milky Way) appeared in the sky and Csaba rode down it at the head of a whole army of spirit warriors. Csaba and his army routed the invaders and saved the Huns once again, and three more times he returned down the "Skyway of the Warriors" to defend his people, and according to some versions of the legend, he was seen once more several centuries later leading Árpád and the Magyars, brother tribe of the Huns, over the Carpathians and into the land that became Hungary.
