Most Hungarian lords and the prelates oppose …

Years: 1046 - 1046

Most Hungarian lords and the prelates oppose the restoration of paganism, and prefer the devout Christian András to his pagan brother Levente, even if, at least according to Kristó and Steinhübel, the latter was the eldest among Vazul's three sons.

The Hungarian chronicles write that Levente, who shortly dies, did not oppose his brother's ascension to the throne.

The Vaa uprising marks the last major attempt at stopping Christian rule in Hungary.

While András has received assistance from pagans in his rise to the throne, he has no plans to abolish Christianity in the kingdom.

Once in power, he distances himself from Vata and the pagans.

However, they are not punished for their actions.
