Gyula III,^[1] also Iula or Gyula the Younger,^[2] Geula^[2] or Gyla,^[3] was an early medieval ruler in Transylvania^[2] (c. 980^[1] – 1003/1004^[3]). Around 1003, he and his family were attacked, dispossessed and captured by King Stephen I of Hungary (1000/1001-1038).^[2] The name "Gyula" was also a title, the second highest rank in Hungarian tribal confederation.^[4]

According to Gyula Kristó, his actual name was probably Prokui.^[1] However, certain historians like István Bóna disagree with this identification.^[2]
