GLAD

Glad

Glad was a Bulgarian duke who, according to the 13th-century chronicle Gesta Hungarorum, ruled in the territory of modern Banat at the time of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin around 896. His story was recorded exclusively by the Gesta Ungarorum, therefore, according to some historians, he was rather a fictitious person and his name was constructed by Anonymous from a place-name in the area.
