Dozsa's Rebellion (Hungarian Peasants' Revolt)

Years: 1514 - 1514

György Dózsa, a Székely man-at-arms (by some accounts a nobleman) from Transylvania, leads a peasants' revolt in 1514 against the Hungarian landed nobility.

He wis eventually caught, tortured, and executed along with his followers, and remembered as both a Christian martyr and a dangerous criminal.

"History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends."

― Mark Twain, The Gilded Age (1874)
