Gelou (translated into Romanian as Gelu, into Hungarian as Gyalú) was, according to the Gesta Hungarorum, a leader of Vlachs and Slavs in Transylvania during the time of the Magyar conquest of the Pannonian plain in 896.
The author of the Gesta apparently knew little or nothing about the real political situation in the Pannonian plain around the time of the Magyar conquest; the Gesta fails to mention key historical personalities such as Svatopluk and Simeon I of Bulgaria.
There is a lack of supporting evidence (written or archeological) for the existence of Gelou

 Pannonia -
In A.D. the Pannonians, with the Dalmatians and other Illyrian tribes, revolted, and were overcome by Tiberius and Germanicus, after a hard-fought campaign which lasted for two years.
Today, the term Pannonia is usually used for what is called Transdanubia (Dunántúl) in Hungary and for the northern parts of former Yugoslavia which are located in the Pannonian plain.
The proximity of dangerous barbarian tribes (Quadi, Marcomanni) necessitated the presence of a large number of troops (seven legions in later times), and numerous fortresses were built on the bank of the Danube.

They washed their beards in the nosebags of their own cattle and preferred to build north of the 'salt-line' which ran along the Belgrade plateau dividing the northern salt earth left after the retreat of the Pannonian Sea from the southern fertile dark soil which had never seen sea nor salt.
Dreaming in five languages and crossing themselves in two different ways according to their faith, they built new Orthodox churches in Bachevci, Kupinovo, Mirkovtsi, Jakovo, Mihalyevats, Bezhanija near Zemun, and Dobrintsi.
The builders then moved on in a wave of constructional fever and flooded the battlefield which had just seen the end of the Austro-Turkish War.

 CHANGES IN QUATERNARY FLUVIAL TRANSPORT DIRECTIONS TO MID-HUNGARIAN PLAIN, BASED ON STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DETRITAL ...
This research was supported by the Hungarian National Scientific Research Fund (OTKA T-32956).
Quaternary fluvial sediments in the central part of the Hungarian Plain (Pannonian Basin) have been studied in 10 cored boreholes.
Based on the similarities between the detrital heavy mineralogical composition of samples derived from recent river sediments and from boreholes, revealed by Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), we can reconstruct the paleo-fluvial transport directions and provenance, as the geological and geographical constraints of the region have been similar during the Quaternary.
