Bár-Kalán

Bár-Kalán was an aristocratic kindred in the Kingdom of Hungary. The Gesta Hungarorum states that Ond – one of the seven chieftains of the Magyars during their conquest of the Carpathian Basin – was the clan's forefather.[1][2] The first documented estates of the clan were located in Baranya and Esztergom Counties.[2]
