Attila had at least three sons recorded in contemporary sources: Ellac, Dengelic and Ernak. Ernak survived the battle of the Nedao, and his branch of the Huns became known as the Kutrigur Huns. The first khans of the Bulgars, as the Kutrigurs eventualy became known, claimed descent from Ernak, although the old Bulgarian chronicle quoted by Runciman ("The First Bulgarian Empire") does not give any names between Ernak and khan Kubrat, the grandfather of Asperukh, who led the Bulgars into Bulgaria, except for a 2 year reign of a certain "Gostun" who was not of the royal clan. Byzantine sources mention some Kutrigur khans in the 6th century: Grod, succeeded by his brother Mugel in 528; a khan Chinial in c555, succeeded by Zabergan at that time.
