(Árpádok)

Származása

A Magyar Krónika szerint Tar Zerind fia volt [1], akinek származását nem ismerjük biztosan. De mivel Koppány felléphetett a fejedelmi cím megszerzéséért a szeniorátus elvére hivatkozva és el akarta venni az elhunyt fejedelem feleségét (levirátus), Saroltot, a későbbi I. István anyját, ezért minden bizonnyal Árpád fejedelem leszármazottja volt. Mivel a nevét viselő települések és birtokok Tevel és Tormás birtokai mellett fekszenek, Hóman Bálint feltette, hogy Zerind Árpád fejedelem legidősebb fiának, Tarhosnak az ágából ered, s így Tevel fia és Tormás öccse lehetett.[1] Eszerint Árpád legidősebb fiának, Tarhosnak volt fia Tevel, unokája Tar Zerind, s így dédunokája Koppány, vagyis Koppány Árpád ükunokája volt. Összefoglalva:

• Árpád
  • Tarhos
    • Tevel
      • Tormás
      • Tar Zerind
        • Koppány
