11 - The Venetian King
History of the Hungarians - En podkast av Ferenc Hüvös - Onsdager
Kategorier:
Peter Orseolo was the only foreign-born king of Hungary in the Árpádian period, and as such, the target of many attacks, deserved and otherwise. The chroniclers later on would have a vested interest in depicting him as one of the worst kings Hungary ever had – but his contemporaries rose against him in open revolt not once, but twice. In this week’s episode we do not simply discover Peter’s ill-fated reign, but I also sat down with the good folk from the History of Venice podcast, so that we may have a fuller understanding of Peter’s background, and how the circumstances influence the relationship between Hungary and Venice.
