Chionite (OIONO/Xiyon) "Red Huns" became noted around 320 CE when they began to encroach upon the frontiers of Iran and their Kushan state. They arrived there as refugees from a failed coup when Jin Zhun overthrew Liu Can. This was when their state known in Chinese sources as Bei Han was replaced by the Former Zhao. They became better known as Kidarites from 360 AD after their leader Kidara established their only recorded dynasty. After their union with the Uar (Chinese: 滑), the Kidarite "Red" Hiun under the Yuezhi Haital elite pushed into India where they became known as the Hunas.
