The Battle of Moh?cs, 1526 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004695825)

The story of the battle of Moh?cs and of King Louis II's dramatic escape, only to meet his end by falling from his horse and drowning in the stream of Csele, is well-known. These traumatic events have been seen as symbolizing the fall of the independent Hungarian Kingdom and the dawn of an age of oppression.
This volume presents new research on these events and their interpretation, focusing on topics such as battlefield reconstruction, troop involvement, firearm use, and later political use and abuse of the memory of the battle.
Contributors are P?l Fodor, P?ter Gyenizse, Erika Hancz, M?t? Kitanics, S?ndor Konkoly, D?nes L?czy, Tam?s Morva, Norbert Pap, J?lia Papp, G?bor Szalai, and G?bor Varga.
