The General and The Renaissance King

15th-century Hungary was all about the Hunyadians. They were a family that appeared like a comet – a beacon of light in the skies of Hungarian history for two generations – illuminating their spectacular achievements. Hungary’s destiny became inextricably linked with theirs, and when they were no more, the skies above cast a dark shadow over the land. The story of the Hunyadians reads like that of a fairy tale: its first hero, János, ascended from the status of the lowly page to become governor of the land and, eventually, the greatest hope for the Christian world. According to Pope Pius II, János was “the only one feared by the Turks and so the greatest hope for our religion.” Then there was Matthias – the Renaissance king who led the renowned Black Army and imprisoned Dracula. He would become a legendary figure, whose celebrated sense of justice and wisdom are the subject of more than a hundred folk tales. What is the key to their unparalleled success? How did they impact the fate of Hungary and Europe? Why are there folk tales about Matthias, and what is the connection between János Hunyadi and the tolling of church bells at noon? #history #hungary #hungarianhistory #historybuff #magyar #historical #worldhistory #europeanhistory #historyfacts #budapest #magyarorszag #centraleurope #easterneurope #historyofhungary #hungarianculture #middleages #medieval #medievalhistory #kingdomofhungary #ststephen #kingmatthias #attilathehun #austrohungarianempire #austrohungary #habsburg #monarchy #1956revolution #hungarianrevolution #coldwar #ww1 #ww2 #ironcurtain #castles #knights #historicalbattles #budacastle #parliamentbudapest #carpathianbasin #danube #historytok #historyshorts #documentary #educational #learnhistory #didyouknow #viralhistory #heritage #culture #ancienthistory #modernhistory #untoldhistory #historychannel #education #storytelling #past #archives #historicalfigures #kossuth #szechenyi #visithungary #visitbudapest #pannonianbasin #militaryhistory #politicalhistory #arthistory #documentaryfilm #edutainment #historylesson
