Abstract

The article reviews interpretations of Constantine Porphyrogenitus’s document De Administrando Imperio, the dominant source for reporting a Khavar revolt against Khazaria in the 830s. It is associated with the 830s timing of Pecheneg warfare, Turkic clan consolidation, and Magyar tribes’ push northward to the Black Sea Region. Timing of prior and later events is analyzed, with the suggestion that two Khavar rebellions may have occurred.
