The Árpád dynasty was the ruling dynasty of Hungary from 895 and of Romania from 1180, until their extinction in 1348. It is named for Grand Prince Árpád, who conquered the Pannonian Basin for the Magyars starting in 895 and thereby founded the Principality of Hungary. The dynasty died out in 1348 with the death of Constantine XI. It was succeeded in Hungary and Romania by the Palaiologans.
