"Between 902 and 906 the East Frankish sources give us little concrete information concerning the movements of the Hungarians. One reason for this fact may be that the Annales Fuldenses simply came to an end in the spring of 902. The Annales Sangallenses maiores and the Annales Alamannici do report that the Bavarians invited the Hungarian chieftain (rex/dux) Chussol (Chussal/Kurszan) to a banquet and surreptiously [sic - surreptitiously?] assassinated him; this event was probably staged to create confusion among the Hungarians since the Franks hoped that rival leaders of various war bands would struggle among themselves to replace Chussol (Kurszan). Most modern Hungarian historians believe that the murder of Chussol (Kurszan) ultimately resulted in the Magyars' abandoning their traditional system of dual leadership for one based on the kingship of a single warrior king, Arpad."
