'''Levedi''', or '''Levedias''', '''Lebedias''', and '''Lebedi'''{{citation needed|date = July 2015}} was the first known [[voivode]] of the [[Hungarian people|Hungarians]].<ref>Gyula Moravcsik, [https://books.google.com/books?id=3al15wpFWiMC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Constantine+Porphyrogenitus+de+Administrando+Imperio&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eFOqUeu0M8qT0AXygoH4DQ&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA Constantine Porphyrogenitus de Administrando Imperio], Dumbarton Oaks Center for Byzantine Studies, 1967, p 171</ref> Levedi's wife was a [[Khazar]] princess, and he was close to the Khazar ruling dynasty. He may himself have been part Khazar. According to [[Constantine VII|Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus']] ''[[De administrando imperio]]'', the Khazars sought to make Levedi the paramount ruler of all the Hungarian tribes, but he refused, possibly because he was childless or because his close ties to the Khazar government were resented by other Magyar leaders. Instead, Levedi proposed [[Álmos]] and his son [[Árpád]] as leaders of the Magyars. The [[Hungarian people|Magyar]] settlement between the [[Volga]] river and the [[Urals]] the mountains were named ''Lebedia'' soon to become ''Levedia'' after Levedi.<ref>http://www.grozerarchery.com/magyar.htm</ref>

== Name and title ==

The only source of Levedi's life is the ''[[De administrando imperio]]'',{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=112}} a book written by the [[Byzantine Emperor]] [[Constantine Porphyrogenitus]] around 950.{{sfn|Engel|2001|p=8}} According to historian [[Omeljan Pritsak]], Levedi's name, which was actually a title, derived from the [[Turkic languages|Turkic]] expression ''"alp edi"'', or "brave lord".{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=112}} The Hungarian historian [[Gyula Kristó]], who refuses Pritsak's theory, says that Levedi's name is connected to the Hungarian verb ''"lesz"'' ("be").{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=112}} A similar proper name (Lewedi) was recorded in a Hungarian charter, issued in 1138.{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=112}}

When writing about Levedi, Porphyrogenitus emphasized "the illustriousness of his race".<ref>''Constantine Porphyrogenitus: De Administrando Imperio'' (ch. 38), p. 171.</ref>{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=9}} Porphyrogenitus's narration suggests that Levedi was born between around 800 and 815, because he seems to have been older than [[Álmos]] who was born in the 820s.{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=114}} Levedi bore the title "[[voivode]]", which is of [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] origin.{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=115}} When using that title, Porphyrogenitus always referred to the heads of the seven Magyar tribes.{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=114}} Historian Dezső Paizs says that Levedi was the head of the Megyer tribe, but his theory has not been widely accepted.{{sfn|Kristó|1996|p=9}}

==Playing career==
===Amateur===
Preissing played four years as a forward on the varsity team at [[Rosemount High School]] before moving on to play two seasons with the [[Green Bay Gamblers]] of the [[USHL]].

He was praised for making the step directly from college to the NHL without stopping in the [[American Hockey League|AHL]] and was named San Jose's rookie of the year in 2004.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/7083/sharks2004_rookie_review/|title=Sharks 2004 rookie review | publisher =hockeysfuture.com | date = July 7, 2004 | accessdate = July 6, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wreg.com/marketplace/realestate/la-hmw-hotproppreissing27-2009may27,0,6266350.story|title=Hockey player Tom Preissing lists Manhattan beach home | publisher =wreg.com | date = May 27, 2009 | accessdate = July 6, 2009}}</ref> In the [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06]] season, Preissing broke out, scoring 43 points in seventy-four games to have the second-highest-scoring season by a defenseman in Sharks history behind only [[Sandis Ozolinsh]].

On July 3, 2009, Preissing was traded by the Kings, along with [[Kyle Quincey]] and a fifth-round draft pick in the [[2010 NHL Entry Draft]], to the Colorado Avalanche for [[Ryan Smyth]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.denverpost.com/avalanche/ci_12752022|title=Avs shed Smyth's hefty contract in Kings trade | publisher =[[Denver Post]] | date = July 3, 2009 | accessdate = July 6, 2009 | first=Adrian | last=Dater}}</ref> Preissing missed training camp and the start of the [[2009–10 NHL season|2009–10]] season having a scope on his right knee.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/nhl/2009-11-14-581413906_x.htm|title=Avs' Tom Preissing back from right knee injury | publisher =''[[USA Today]]'' | date = November 14, 2009 | accessdate = February 23, 2010}}</ref> After a conditioning stint with Colorado's AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters, Tom made his Avalanche debut in an 8-2 loss to the [[Vancouver Canucks]] on November 14, 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/gamecenter/recap/NHL_20091114_VAN@COL|title=H Sedin collects his first hat-trick as Canucks melt Avalanche | publisher =''[[CBS Sports]]'' | date = November 14, 2009 | accessdate = February 23, 2010}}</ref> On November 29, 2009, after playing in four games with the Avs, Preissing was placed on waivers and reassigned back to the Monsters.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_13886923|title=Hejduk out with injury | publisher =''[[Denver Post]]'' | date = November 29, 2009 | accessdate = February 23, 2010}}</ref> Despite leading the Monsters defense with 31 points in 49 games, his considerably large contract meant he was placed on waivers for the purpose of a buy out of his final year from the Avalanche on June 30, 2010.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=326149 | title = McKenzie: Looks like Ellis is going to Market | publisher = ''[[The Sports Network|TSN]]'' | date = June 30, 2010 | accessdate = July 4, 2010 }}</ref>

Without NHL interest, Preissing returned to Europe for the first time since 2005, signing a one-year contract with [[Oulun Kärpät|Kärpät]] of the [[Finland|Finnish]] SM-liiga on September 16, 2010. Under the agreement, Tom first joined [[Kazakhstan|Kazakh]] team, [[Barys Astana]] of the Russian KHL, to start the [[2010–11 KHL season|2010–11]] season on a two-month loan through to November in order to attain game conditioning.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.oulunkarpat.fi/2009/uutiset.php?uutisid=1270&arkistosivu= | title = NHL defenseman Tom Preissing joins Kärpät | publisher = ''[[Oulun Kärpät]]'' | date = September 16, 2010 | accessdate = September 16, 2010 | language = Finnish }}</ref> On September 17, Preissing made a successful debut with Astana scoring a goal in a 6-5 overtime loss to [[Salavat Yulaev Ufa]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.hcbarys.kz/ru/news/view/baryis-salavat-yulaev-5-6-po-bullitam&prev=_t&r | title = Barys 5, UFA 6 | publisher = ''[[Barys Astana]]'' | date = September 23, 2010 | accessdate = October 12, 2010 | language = Russian}}</ref> However, just two days later in his second game in a 4-1 victory against [[Metallurg Novokuznetsk]], Preissing's tenure in the KHL was cut short when he suffered a serious knee injury.
