Black Magyars (Latin: Ungri Nigri) were a group of the Magyars in the beginning of the 11th century.
The Black Magyars, a (semi-)independent group of the Magyars, resisted the Christian mission even after the coronation of King Stephen I of Hungary in 1000 or 1001. In 1003, Bruno of Querfurt tried to convert them, then the Azzo, the legate of the pope lead the missionary work among them, but they insisted on their faith; therefore some of them was blinded[1].
Around 1008 King Stephen I made a campaign against them and conquested their territories[2]. He probably set up the Diocese of Pécs on the conquested region in 1009.
