I think the title is strange and surprising, but trust that it is not inspired by my imagination, I did not invent it to attract your attention, but it is a reflection of a historical fact affixed with documents ...

Yes, the hero of our story was crowned king, but not on the throne of gold as is customary in the coronation of kings, but on the throne of iron protected from under fire! .. And when the ceremony concluded the coronation ate it !! ..

But what did this king "roast" do of sin to do with this? ..
György Dózsa, born in Hungary in 1470, spent a life of his life as a mercenary soldier and was known for his daring and cruelty.

In 1514 he was commissioned by some nobles to mobilize and train an army to launch a crusade against the Ottomans, who were then expanding and threatening the Eastern European countries and kingdoms.

György mobilized 4,000 farmers, students of religious seminaries and the impoverished poor, trained them to fight for a few weeks, but at the end of the army did not move any one of his place, the nobles failed to provide him with food, weapons and clothing as promised, which raised the trainees' anger and sparked the riots and revolution. The fortunes of the nobles were burned, the castles of nobles and the rich were burned down and their palaces were looted. Their property quickly developed. Several cities fell into the hands of Georgians and rebels. Many nobles were killed, especially those who were known for exploitation and cruelty.
György himself is reportedly unhappy with some of the massacres committed by his followers, but has lost control and is no longer able to rein in them.

The farmers' revolution shook the people of Hungary, so they feared their nobility, as well as the nobility of neighboring states and kingdoms, fearing that the fire of the revolution would spread to them, king of Hungary, Vladislav II, ordered the rapid mobilization of an army of the tractor and brought in a large number of mercenaries of neighboring countries in order to move and suppress the rebels.

Indeed, the king's army was able to defeat the rebels, killing some of the rebels, and capturing others, including György himself.


After the suppression of the revolution, the nobles gathered and decided to make György and his comrades a lesson for those who considered that no one of the poor would dare to revolt against them in the future. Thus, the ghettos were erected in large numbers. Thousands of people were crucified and burned, the peasants' huts were burned, their wives were enslaved and their children enslaved. It was for György .. The nobles accused him of aspiring to be king, they decided to crown him a king already .. But on their way .. They brought him to a public field where he was waiting for a throne of iron burning under fire, they sat György on this throne of hell and they arrested him Chained in order not to move, and then came to the crown Of iron they had put on the fire until it became a red color, and put him on the head of György, and brought a knife as hot as fire, and put him in his hand .. Thus was crowned King! .. on a throne of fire ..

They have not only stopped here, They brought his younger brother and killed him in front of his eyes. They ripped his body with axes and divided him into three pieces. Then they brought nine of his army commanders, who were close to him, who had starved them for several days. Then they brought iron shields and shielded them in a György body and cut them off. And ordered the nine men to eat grilled György meat. Three or four of them refused to do so. They were killed immediately and they were cut and their skin was cut. Others agreed and ate meat and ate it. All this and a living György looked and cried and screamed.


Finally, when György died, they cut off his body and took his head and placed him on a high mast in a public square. The men who agreed to eat György meat released them.

In fact, these are the worst and worst murderers I have ever heard of personally! .. It is true that the Middle Ages, in all kingdoms and countries, were swamped with the penalties of the abhorrent and ugly and despicable .. But this is the ugliest I have read ..

The reaction of the noblemen to the revolution or the uprising of the poor was very harsh. According to some statistics, seventy thousand were killed and tortured. No wonder after this abuse and injustice that the Hungarian people did not fight or resist when the Ottomans came in 1524 to invade the country.

Today György is seen as a national hero, a rebel for injustice, a martyr for freedom, a statue of the Virgin Mary in the place where he was executed, and there are many streets and squares in Hungary, Romania and Serbia bearing his name.
