The Hungarian march was founded by Henry III following his first campaign against Hungary in 1041.
In 1043, the Hungarian king Samuel Aba was forced to sign a peace treaty whereby he gave up the land between the Leitha and Fischa rivers with a line from the Fischa delta to Strachotín in Moravia representing the new border.
Henry created a new march in this territory for the eldest son of the Babenberg Margrave Adalbert of Austria.
When Liutpold died within days of his confirmation at Ingelheim, Henry replaced him with the Sponheimer Count Siegfried.
According to Koch (1986, 133), the Hungarian march disappeared with Siegfried's death in 1065.
