Is the falsification of history made with public money the Árpád, the zebra-skinned one, dressed in a stupid sweater, and the ancient Hungarian snowman in armor attacking the horse?

Holiday 444 Circle

I’m joining

There used to be a movie, not just a Hungarian animation, but any movie, that would have waited as long as the 52-minute animation about the Battle of Bratislava, which will be screened today, Monday night at 9pm in the public service M5.

Based on the feverish trailer for the film, which was published by one of the Hungarian government’s high-quality public entertainment bodies, the Hungarian Research Institute, we can expect the following in the visual language of computer games eight or twelve ago. years:

The Frankish King Louis the Child, who wanted to exterminate the Hungarians as a kind of proto-Hitler, attacks the Hungarians.

Waiting for the Franco-Bavarian armies with armored snowman cavalry and various tricks.

The Franks touch the matter, because in Hegyeshalom they are seduced by a giant disco that can house an entire army of three thousand, so they arrive in Bratislava more or less crystallized.

Unfortunately, fortunately, the disco drug lifestyle is not a friend of tactical discipline. Hungarians, who believe in organic-people’s warfare, then, as a warning, first lift the ends of wooden beds and other objects of popular applied arts painted with floral motifs in the air:

Next, they will present their trumpet, a zebra-skin laurel leading their armies, an orange Christmas sweater on the hip, a hat with a Szekler flag and a panther-skin bag. Márk Lakatos Leader Árpád.

But the hippie attitude of the Hungarian armies does not soften the humorless East Franks. The cut begins, which was not obscured by the sight of Árpád, with the blood shepherds and the goat riders on the back of the racka:

I’m really sitting on needles waiting for the movie, especially since the subtitles and narration of its preliminary text sound like

Hungarian armies rallied at Árpád’s call, and in the battle Árpád did not just appear, but “led his elite team at the German spearhead”

While

There is no evidence, not even indirect, that Árpád participated in the battle.

Not even that he was alive during the battle.

But even if he lived then and was indeed the ruler, it does not necessarily mean that he was personally involved in the battle, as this was not evident at the time. The King of the East Franks, Louis the Child, for example, was not documented to be present in person, although he was not an adult, but was 14 years old.

And to make the atmosphere really bubbly before the premiere of the film, the music of the final title of the work is a song by Gabi-Fankadeli de Tóth, in whose choir, while the reindeer-hinged shamans in the picture, the experts sing that

One is god.

So is something outrageous or ridiculous going on – a falsification of history tonight? Until we saw the full movie, we won’t know, but it’s unlikely. The Battle of Bratislava is almost impossible to fake, consciously or unconsciously. The best thing about the Battle of Bratislava is that we know next to nothing about it, so nothing so legitimate as to imagine about it. The same is true of the old Hungarian religion. Find the clothes of the participants. Also, who was present at all.

Therefore, the battle is a perfect subject for passionate and humorous cultural fighting, it is not a coincidence that the subway subculture mentions it so bitterly on the tarsal cap and it is not a coincidence that those inside the clever grand boulevard laugh so much at her.

In relation to the battle of Bratislava in 907, perhaps the most that you hear is how much has been silenced so far, not infrequently accompanied by a comment that “it is not by chance, as it is a world-famous Hungarian triumph.”

The reality, on the other hand, is that the Battle of Bratislava is one of the best-documented Hungarian historical events of the time, and for centuries, few winning Hungarian battles have been treated as much as this one. However, this exceptional documentation also means some sentences of a few words in the Salzburg Yearbook and the Swabian Yearbook written by contemporary German monks, and some other entries in other church documents about the death of high priests and monks killed by Hungarians.

What little we know about the Battle of Bratislava based on these, but more than we will ever know about most contemporary Hungarian historical events. It is true that the battle took place, it is also argued that in 907 it ended with an overwhelming Hungarian victory over the German armies, that is, the Eastern Franco and Bavarian, who entered the war on the orders of King Louis. We also know exactly that the Bavarian Marquis, the Archbishop of Salzburg and the bishop known by two names died in the battle, and from the yearbooks it is known exactly when, without much risk, was a series of multi-day clashes that probably their greatest battle. took place from July 5 to 6.

But it is no longer safe, it is only relatively likely that everything happened in Bratislava. Although we know the location of the battle from a contemporary source, that is, it was fought at Brezalauspurc, but we do not know with one hundred percent certainty which settlement was so named. The Slavic prince named Breszlav, from whose name the settlement’s name is derived, had his seat in present-day Zalavár, that is, Kis-Balaton.

And there are no contemporary sources that Árpád led the Hungarian army at all, and especially not that he died there. Of the later chronicles, only Anonymous affirms this.

Thus, in the absolute sense, very few, but relatively unusually many, original sources from the Battle of Bratislava remained. And from the late Middle Ages to the early 1900s, there was relatively much talk about it because the famous Bavarian-German humanist historian, Aventinus, who lived between 1477 and 1534, wrote extensively about the battle more than half a millennium after the facts. And although the credibility of this description in the current sense is at least questionable, research from the early 20th century showed that Avetinus did indeed look to many contemporary sources to write his work and wrote it based on them, finding the source designation superfluous only at the fashion of the time.

Aventinus gave a pleasant and detailed description of the course of the battle, with the eastern Frankish armies marching on both banks of the Danube and over the river itself, with the agile light cavalry and efficient archers of the Hungarians. He wrote it centuries later, but based on contemporary sources and authentic descriptions of other well-documented battles of the time, supplemented by factual white dots with conclusions. Thus, his work remains a basic work in the eyes of the reconstructors of the Battle of Bratislava,

According to historian László Veszprémy, one of the best Hungarian experts on the subject, no more work was done in Hungarian on the Battle of Bratislava before the turn of the century because available sources, including the originals, Aventinus, and those who later processed his work, were written in German or Latin. You may have been interested in the topic in Hungary, everyone knew these languages ​​during these centuries, so translation or processing in Hungarian was not a key topic.

And after 1900, there was less talk of the battle, because that was when the confidence in the credibility of humanist historians, including Aventino, who liked to use his imagination, wavered.

Therefore, the basic movements of the battle can only be modeled, based on contemporary descriptions of the tactics of the light cavalry in the steppes and chronicles that narrate other battles. For those interested in this line, I recommend the large volume “A Forgotten Triumph,” published online in 2008 by the Museum of Military History.

In the Magyarságkutató movie trailer, it seems to no avail that, for the first blick, Árpád, a blinking metrosex in a combination of zebra and panther skin, fears uncontrollably funny. They first appeared in a documented way around the 16th century. This is because no one can have the slightest idea what Árpád’s battle suit might have looked like, if Árpád had a role as part of which he led an army, and he was not János Áder of the time, which is also not known. you can discard.

And of course I myself laughed wildly at the post-István, Gabin Tóth, and the rapper “one of the gods” with real vigor, while cheering on the lame spirited shameless shamans famous for their monotheistic faith, but I immediately thought about it. that we do not know anything directly about the ancestral religion of the Hungarians in the world. Which, of course, had a good chance of polytheism, if there were gods in his mythology, but we certainly don’t even know.

And if you can’t know for sure, it makes sense to draw our imaginations. “We wanted to represent not the true, but the possible. If we had stuck to historical and archaeological nuclear safety data, a dozen belt buckles, some hats and saddle ornaments would have fought in the Battle of Bratislava.” – said the historian Tamás Baltavári, president of the Association of Historical Animation (TAE) of the Hungarian Nation, which put the film into practice.

So until Tarhos and Üllő wear the Fidesz insignia or until the animated lame old Jew appears among the grass Germans, Sorosmund uses the nurses guided by their noses (!) To install we can only do well. After all, if we don’t know what happened anyway, let’s at least fantasize about it in good color.
