The Arpad dynasty of Hungary was founded by Arpad, and he was succeeded by his son Zoltan. They were descendants of Attila the Hun.

Claimed to be descendants, etc. It was something of a fashion among nationalist Hungarians.

Huns have no known connection with Magyars, the nomadic peoples who were the ancestors of the Hungarians.

Similar claims with just as sparse or non-existent basis include the Poles who used to claim descent from the ancient Sarmatians.
