Kozármisleny
Kozármisleny (Mišljen; Mischlen) is a town in Baranya County, Hungary. It is south-east of the city of Pécs.
The history of Kozármisleny is rooted in the early Bronze Age, as indicated by archeological findings. Roman remains have also been found in the area. The transcontinental military road connecting Sremska Mitrovica-Pécs-Szombathely-Sopron led not far from the place. The Avars living here between the 6th and 9th centuries also left some relics behind. Several tombs have been found dating back to the time of the Hungarian conquest.
The village got its present form when two smaller settlements, Kiskozár and Misleny, were united in 1928. The name of Kozár was first mentioned in documents in 1332-1335, in the papal tithe registers, in the form Kosar. Misleny was first mentioned in a document dating back to 1266, as Myslen. The place played an important role in the development of Baranya County. Originally there were two areas, each governed by a castle built in their centers. One of them was Baranyavár, the other Koaszt with its center somewhere between Kozármisleny and Nagykozár. Baranya county developed out of these two areas.
Kiskozár was inhabited continuously, even under the Turkish rule. In the 17th and 18th centuries South Slav families settled next to the Hungarian population. Some of them got assimilated, others moved away after some time. Around 1760, German settlers came and by the middle of the last century they were in majority. Misleny was inhabited under the Turkish rule, and in the 17th and 18th centuries its population was partly Hungarian and partly Slav. After the war of independence (1703–1711), only the Hungarians remained.

The territory of present-day Hungary has for centuries been a crossroads for various peoples, including Celts, Romans, Germanic tribes, Huns, West Slavs and the Avars. The foundation of the Hungarian state was established in the late 9th century AD with the conquest of the Carpathian Basin by Hungarian grand prince Árpád. His great-grandson Stephen I ascended the throne in 1000, converting his realm to a Christian kingdom. By the 12th century, Hungary became a regional power, reaching its cultural and political height in the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, it was partially occupied by the Ottoman Empire (1541–1699). Hungary came under Habsburg rule at the turn of the 18th century, later joining with the Austrian Empire to form Austria-Hungary, a major power into the early 20th century.
