Etel-Köz was the Szekely land of the Ugrian Közari which was ruled by the Bulanids. It was established by the Akötziri "Huns" who remained there after Etel's son Csaba the Hun left for the wild Fields in the 5th century. It fell under the rule of Edemen's Avars in the 6th century and was crushed by the Utigurs of his brother Ed from the Wild Fields. It was ruled by Kubrat's Kubiars from the Wild Fields in the 7th century before gaining independence in the 8th century when its rulers converted to Judaism. Many of its Székely Közari migrated westward leaving Közari graves in Chelarevo and other Közari traces in Crisana such as Satmar. Etel-Köz entered into a friendly alliance with the Hungarians of the Wld Steppe in the 9th century to liberate the Western Székely Közari who had fallen under the rule of Moravia. After helping the Hungarians settle in Pannonia, only a tiny remnant of Ugrians known as the Csangos who were converted to Catholicism by the Cuman Diocese remained behind in Moldavia. Etel-Köz survived as an independent kingdom until the 11th century but continued to be the main base for Székely Sabbatarians until 1989.
