BIOGRAPHY
Almos was born about 820, the first Grand Prince of the Magyars. The _Gesta Hungarorum_ ('The Deeds of the Hungarians') records that his father was Ügyek, while the _Chronicom Pictum_ (the 'Vienna Illuminated Chronicle') mentions his father as Elod (the son of Ügyek); his mother was Emese.

The medieval chronicle recounts the story of his birth as follows: 'His pregnant mother had seen a divine vision in her dream of a Turul bird, as it were flying over her and getting her with child; and a spring seemed to rise from her womb and many great kings originated from her loins, although they would multiply not in their own lands'. The legend is often given as an explanation for the name Almos, which is derived from the Hungarian word for 'dream'.

According to medieval chronicles, Almos was proclaimed Grand Prince of the Magyars by the leaders of the _Hétmagyar,_ the confederation of the seven Magyar tribes, but the _De Administrando Imperio_ states that the office was created by the Khagan of the Khazars (the Magyar tribes were then living under Khazar supremacy), and it was not Almos, but his son Arpád, who became the first Grand Prince. Modern historians usually follow the tradition that Almos was the first Grand Prince in the second half of the 850s. It is unclear whether Almos became the _kende_ (spiritual leader) of the confederation or its _gyula_ (military leader).

Before 862 the seven Magyar tribes, living in the area they called Etelköz, seceded from the Khazars; afterwards they were exacting tribute from the neighbouring Slavic tribes and they fought occasionally as mercenaries on behalf of Karlmann, king of Bavaria and Italy, Emperor Arnulf von Kärnten, and King Svatopluk I of Great Moravia, The _Hétmagyar_ confederation was strengthened when three tribes of the Khazars, who had rebelled against the Khazars, joined them before 881.

In the spring of 895 the Magyar tribes, allied with the Byzantine emperor Leo VI 'the Wise', attacked the Bulgarian empire and defeated Emperor Simeon I of Bulgaria, obliging him to conclude peace with the Byzantine empire. Emperor Simeon entered into an alliance with the Pechenegs, who were the eastern neighbours of the _Hétmagyar,_ and he mounted an attack on the Magyar troops. At the Battle of Southern Buh, Emperor Simeon defeated the Magyar army, and shortly afterwards the Pechenegs attacked and pillaged their territories. The Magyar tribes were obliged to leave Etelköz and invade the Carpathian Basin where they settled.

Almos' death about 892 was probably caused either by assassination or human sacrifice because of the catastrophic defeats during the wars with the Bulgarian empire and the Pechenegs.
