The Utigur Bulgars or Hunno-Bulgars were originally a large group of "Huns" from the steppes north of the Caucasus. The Chronicles of Kiev mention their "Ki" clan establishing Kiev in the early 500s having arrived with the Bulgars. In the mid 6th century, under the descendants of Attila through his son Ernakh, most of the group were conquered by Pseudo-Avars and became known as Kutrigur and they founded Kiev while only a western portion retained the Utigur ethnicon. Under Sandilch, they were temporarily coerced by Byzantium into conflicts with their Kutrigurs relatives before the Hunno-Bolgars were united under Kubrat's "Avar" Khaganate. They were settled in Syrmia (Unogari) before moving under the leadership of Kuber to Pelagonia.
