In the 7th century, the White Croats were already around the mountain Tatry.

Page 65:

". During the reign

of Emperor Heracles, that is, after 610; moved into two new nations: Serbs

and Croats between the Slavic/Avar Khaganate and the Byzantine Empire.

Today we traditionally consider the Serbs and the Croats to be Slavs.38 Just

that Serbs and Croats came here most probably from the north. They are

nations with their own specific identification brand, with their old good

names. Northern Serbs, i.e. the Lusatian Serbs, are still in the north today.

And Southern Serbs are still in today’s Serbia. They did not change their

brand. Just added a new dimension to it: their Slavic identity"

In the 8th century, there were Slovaks and White Croats.

In the 9th century, we can see that the Slovaks and the Whits Croats are there, where the actual Slovakia.

And the Hungarians still did not arrive on that map.

Page 107-108:

"Let us go back to the Czech-Moravian alliance. This takes us to that story

of a wedding caravan led by the Czechs to Moravia, which was attacked by

the Franks, who made a huge profit from it. In the end, however, the bride

and the caravan were saved and arrived in Moravia. From this, František

Palacký deduced – and it is not clear how he came to that conclusion – that

in that caravan was Svätožizna, whom we know from the Gospel of Cividale. This Gospel lists her as being with Svätopluk.73 Based on this, Palacký deduced that Czech Svätožizna and Moravian Svätopluk united in marriage and since then the Czechs and the Moravians are side by side to this

day. Of course, there is no such thing in the sources. However, Palacký’s

wish is still actively supported after many decades, especially at present."

Page 108-109:

"Rastislav sends a messengers to Byzantium, to Constantinople, and the Emperor Michael III sends him two missionaries: St.

Constantine the Philosopher and St. Methodius. Rastislav, thus, did not get 

a bishop, he got missionaries and teachers. Nothing more and nothing less.

However, history gives him the – indisputable – merit for the initiative of

what we call the cultural heritage of St. Constantine (Cyril) and St. Methodius. Whether Rastislav actually wanted this or not, we will never know for

sure. The fact is that even The Life of St. Constantine the Philosopher compares

Rastislav to Constantine the Great (Equal-to-apostles)."

From this map, we can see already existing churches in Bratislava and other places.

We are still before the Hungarians arrived. As Hungarians arrived around 895.
