Elegy - Szigetvár by Vörösmarty

by Vörösmarty Mihály


Láttam veszélyes tájadat, oh Sziget!
Előttem állott roskadozó falad,
Előttem a múlt kor csatái
S gyászba borúlt ege Hunniának.

Zrinyi Miklós halála. by Peter Tatar

History von Eroberung der ansehenlichen Vesten Sigeth

I found this old German account of Siget in 1566.
It may be a translation of the Ferenc Crnko account of what happened.
I have typed out the first 1/3 of the pdf - but it is a PITA so I will not continue.
Google translate does not translate old German well.

Jókai Mór: A szigetvári vértanúk

A szigetvári vértanúk

A magyar nemzet egész történetében nincs olyan emlékezetes esemény, mely annyi fájdalmasan lelkesítő érzést keltene fel, mint Szigetvár védőinek hős végzete. Ezek az emberfölötti hősiességgel folytatott viadalok a homéri mesék költői ragyogásával vannak besugározva; csakhogy e harcoknak csodatevő istenei, akik a hősöknek segíteni leszálltak, nem a mesés olymp mythosz-alakjai, hanem az a megfogható, látható, érezhető Isten: a hazaszeretet.

From Suleyman the Second and His Time 


THE LIFE AND FAMILY OF SULEYMAN I

Alan FISHER


For a generation of readers who are accustomed to know, or al least wish lo know, all the details of public and private lives of public figures, reading about political leaders of the sixteenth century may be a frustrating experience. Not only arc there long periods in their lives for which there is no surviving evidence, but these leaders' own contemporaries were not always aware of their activities, or even of their whereabouts at various times in their lives. Much of the evidence surviving for such political figures illuminates more of their public performances than it does of their private lives or personal character.
