"A great host of Muslims" arrived in Hungary, according to the Gesta Hungarorum, "from the land of Bular" during the reign of Taksony.

The contemporaneous Abraham ben Jacob also recorded the presence of Muslim merchants from Hungary in Prague in 965.

Anonymous also writes of the arrival of Pechenegs during Taksony's reign; he granted them "a land to dwell in the region of Kemej as far as the Tisza.” The only sign of a Hungarian connection with Western Europe under Taksony is a report by Liutprand of Cremona.

He writes about Zacheus, whom Pope John XII had consecrated bishop and "sent to the Hungarians in order to preach that they should attack" the Germans in 963.

However, there is no evidence that Zacheus ever arrived in Hungary.
