Arpad dynasty DNA (kings of Hungary & Croatia)

[Böri]

Again a circumlocution. Please answer to the Lajos Kassai video and the lack of horse archery tradition in Hungary.

After Hungary became a western kingdom, the horse archery culture disappeared. However, earlier the Magyar raiders had horse archery culture. At Lechfeld battle they also deployed some horse archers İ guess. When Bazz Battles says 'the eastern style of warfare', that's the Turkic medieval style light cavalry and horse archery

Do you know the meaning of Tradition? Tradition does not exist without continuity.

Isn't there speculation that the Basarb Dynasty was E-V13 or J2a/J2b2?

Or something like that. I don't know for sure. Highly unlikely they were Turks, though.

Bassarab was your Turkic cuman overlord with turkic haplogroup.

Highly unlikely, Stears. I don't think that the Basarabs were Turkic. Just a name with a certain origin doesn't indicate very much.

Basarab dynasty, also I2a.

Based on what? Your government stopped the investigation last times.

Stears you should become Horse Archer, it's in your genes... you'll do fine...

It would be cool if they could get DNA from Arpad himself (if they even know where he was buried) or even St. Stephen. This was several centuries later so it isn't that elucidating.

And even though it's a bit off-topic, I don't see anything that wrong with supposing at least a partially Turkic origin for the Basarab dynasty; it seems plausible. Many if not most countries had leaders that were of different origins than the population at many times in their history anyway. I don't think it changes that much either way.
