A historical fame, with whom I would like to meet
If I could travel back to the past, I would preferably meet with King Stephen I., because he is a very historical person.
He was the first Hungarian king. He was a reigning prince 997-1000, and was crowned in 1000, on rule 1000-1038. We know him as the son of Gza who was a reigning prince of rpd’s Dynasty. His original name, Vajk became Stephen in christening.
He decided to spread Christianity. He organized 10 archbishorpics and ordered vicarages and monasteries to be built. He provided financial provision for the Church.
I repute him as a marvellous king, who did not allow to disintegrate the country. He ended roamings abroad. Thus, several soldiers revolted against him, led by Koppny. Koppny was the other son of Gza, but he chose Stephen to be his inheritor. Koppny was jelaous, because he wanted to be the ruler. Stephen put down the revolt owe to his larger military power, and had him quartered. Although the king prefered peace and not war, with the previous action he proved that he could be hard, if it was necessary. Therefore Europian countries acknowledged his country.
He married to Gizella, who was a Bavarian princess. He was colonised in 1083. His right arm, the so-called Holy Right is still admired as a national relic.
If I had lived in King Stephen’s age, I would be loath to know the culture of the area, habits, and life. I am interested in the age, how people chatted with each other. I would understand nothing they said, despite the fact that they also used Hungarian language. I wondered that how they entertained or what they did in their free time. The more information I learn about the age, the more curious I become.
I would be interested in what Stephen thought the future, what the country would be a few 100 years later. If he had thought of that, what the county would be like after his death, if it remained in whole. I would tell him that I arrived from the future. Not only would I tell him, that everybody considers his activities in my time, but also that we respect him.
