October 1849 CE
Lajos Batthyány, the first Hungarian prime minister, is executed by Austria in Pest on October 6, as are the Thirteen Martyrs of Arad, in a repression by the Austrian authorities led by Julius Jacob von Haynau (these martyrs are those generals of the Hungarian revolutionary army who did not flee from Hungary after the suppression of the Hungarian revolution by the Russo-Austrian forces).
