Greetings

[dciurchea]

Csaba (son of Attila) is also very popular because of the heroic 
argument.
Remember that the Kings of Hungary and the Voyevods of Transylvania 
and of The Romanian Prinipalities also were always elected by the 
Diet. Moreover in the line of the kings of Hungary, such families as 
Anjou and Luxembourg gave kings. So no dynasty -except gentry 
privileges- may be invoked.

Please observe the lack of relevance of the mother tongue for the 
gentry.
