940 AD born
Géza was the elder son of Taksony, Grand Prince of the Hungarians.
His mother was his father's wife "from the land of the Cumans", according to the anonymous author of the Gesta Hungarorum.
This anachronistic reference to the Cumans suggests that she was of Khazar, Pecheneg or Volga Bulgarian origin.
The Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, who listed the descendants of Grand Prince Árpád around 950, did not mention Géza. Even so, Gyula Kristó wrote that Géza was born around 940 and the emperor ignored him because of his youth.
