Mundzuk
Mundzuk (rendered Mundzucus by Jordanes,Turkey-Turkish Boncuk, Kazak-Turkish Muncuk, English Pearl Μουνδίουχος by Priscus, 390-434) (Also called "Bendegúz" in Hungarian) was a Hunnic prince and brother of Hunnic rulers Optar (Octar) and Rugila (Ruas). Mundzuk was also father of Attila the Hun and Bleda. He is briefly mentioned in Jordanes (Getica 35, 180): "Now this Attila was the son of Mundiuch, and his brothers were Octar and Ruas who are said to have ruled before Attila, though not over quite so many tribes as he." [1] Nothing else is known about his personality. Hungarian legend has Mundzuk as a descendant of Nimrod.
