The clan Katapán-Bána, from which, according to the tradition, the Cseszneky family has descended, like most of the Hungarian and Pecheneg tribes that conquerred Hungary, followed Tengrism, the ancient religion of the steppic equestrian civilizations. Tengrism has been fundamentally a monotheistic religion, though its followers have revered the spirits of ancestors and nature as well. According to Anonymus the founder of the clan, Ketel Pecheneg duke and his son, Alaptolma were buried in a pagan way near Komárom. http://cseszneky.csalad.googlepages.com/religion
