| | The Magyars - DBA 107 |
 | | By the beginning of the fifth century AD the Magyars were on the move again, settling in the lands between the lower Volga and Don Rivers to the Caucasus Mountains, as tributaries of the turkic Khazars. |
 | | In 894 AD, Emperor Leo VI sought the aid of the Magyars against the Bulgars, who were threatening Byzantine territories in northern Greece. |
 | | Emperor Leo VI the Wise (886-912 AD) noted that the Magyars "have a liking more for fighting at a distance, setting ambushes, encirclement of their enemy, simulated retreat and about-turning, and for the scattering of fighting formations." These are the classic tactics of a Light Horse army. |
