How it ended, as its article says
Replaced by Kingdom of Hungary, 1001-01-01. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
The principality was succeeded by the Christian Kingdom of Hungary with the coronation of St Stephen I at Esztergom on Christmas Day 1000 (its alternative date is 1 January 1001).

Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kurszán | 890 – 890 | under a year | ending not on record | |
| Taksony of Hungary | 955 – 955 | under a year | ending not on record | |
| Géza | 970 – 997 | 27 years | ending not on record | child |
3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 890 – 997. Median reign 0 years. 0 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 5 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
Theories that apply to its ending
Of 3 theories of why states fall, 1 has every condition present at this ending; each is applied by its own logic, condition by condition, and whether its authors named this case is a footnote.
