Gyula László (Kőhalom, 14 March 1910 – Oradea, 17 June 1998) was a Hungarian historian, archaeologist and artist.

[1] His main work is the novel theory of "double conquest" of the Carpathian Basin by Hungarians in 5th and 9th century.

He also shows that Hungarians occupied only the centre of the Carpathian basin, but Avars lived in a larger territory.

Looking at those territories where only the Avars lived, one only finds Hungarian geographical names, not Slavic or Turkic as would be expected interspersed among them.

László's Avar-Hungarian continuity theory also claims that the modern Hungarian language descends from that spoken by the Avars rather than the conquering Magyars.
