==Legacy== Bleda is known by [[Hungarian literature]] as Buda. According to medieval sources, [[Buda]] the name of the historic capital of the [[Kingdom of Hungary]] derived from the name of its founder, Bleda, brother of Hunnic ruler [[Attila]]. The name of the [[capital city]] of [[Hungary]], [[Budapest]] also comes from his name. [[File:Nuremberg_chronicles_-_BVJA.png|thumb|400x400px|[[Buda]] in the Middle Ages ([[Nuremberg Chronicle]], 1493) ]] {{Blockquote|''[[Attila]] went in the city of Sicambria in Pannonia, where he killed Buda, his brother, and he threw his corpse into the [[Danube]]. For while [[Attila]] was in the west, his brother crossed the boundaries in his reign, because he named Sicambria after his own name Buda's Castle. And though King [[Attila]] forbade the Huns and the other peoples to call that city Buda's Castle, but he called it Attila's Capital, the Germans who were terrified by the prohibition named the city as Eccylburg, which means Attila Castle, however, the Hungarians did not care about the ban and call it Óbuda [Old Buda] and call it to this day.''|[[Mark of Kalt]]: ''[[Chronicon Pictum]]''<ref>''Mark of Kalt: Chronicon Pictum'' https://mek.oszk.hu/10600/10642/10642.htm</ref>}}{{Blockquote|''The [[Scythians]] are certainly an ancient people and the strength of [[Scythia]] lies in the east, as we said above. And the first king of [[Scythia]] was Magog, son of Japhet, and his people were called Magyars [Hungarians] after their King Magog, from whose royal line the most renowned and mighty King [[Attila]] descended, who, in the 451st year of Our Lord's birth, coming down from [[Scythia]], entered Pannonia with a mighty force and, putting the Romans to flight, took the realm and made a royal residence for himself beside the [[Danube]] above the hot springs, and he ordered all the old buildings that he found there to be restored and he built them in a circular and very strong wall that in the Hungarian language is now called Budavár [Buda Castle] and by the Germans Etzelburg [Attila Castle]''|[[Anonymus (notary of Béla III)|Anonymus]]: ''[[Gesta Hungarorum]]''<ref>''Anonymus, Notary of King Béla: The Deeds of the Hungarians'' https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/18975/1/18975.pdf</ref>}}
