Ákos Barcsay
Ákos Barcsay (Achatius) ( July 1661) was Prince of Transylvania from September 14, 1658 to December 31, 1660. Barcsay's reign of a little over two years was a period of considerable domestic and international turmoil. It occurred during the end of Transylvania's "golden age" and saw the renewal of Ottoman Empire, Ottoman power under an energetic new grand vizier, Köprülü Mehmed Pasha, Mehmet Köprülü. Prince Barcsay had the unenviable task of satisfying draconian Turkish territorial and financial demands while attempting to keep his deposed predecessor, Prince George II Rákóczi, at bay. It was an almost impossible task. Analysis of his career by Hungarian historians shows him to have been a weak character prone to taking the easy option best suited to his self-interests. His marriage to a fifteen-year-old girl, with whom he became obsessed, was frowned upon by his contemporaries, not because of her age but because Barcsay was said to focus on little else other than his ob ...

The story is recorded by Heltai Gaspar's work, Magyar Cronica, a Hungarian translation/rewriting of the Latin of Antonio Bonfini published in 1560s. Under George II Rákóczi, he became the chief advisor of the prince, and leader of the military campaigns to Moldavia in 1653 and Poland in 1657, the latter being aimed at obtaining the Polish crown for Rákóczi.

Prince Of Transylvania
The Prince of Transylvania (, , , Fallenbüchl 1988, p. 77.) was the head of state of the Principality of Transylvania from the late-16th century until the mid-18th century. John Sigismund Zápolya was the first to adopt the title in 1570, but its use only became stable from 1576. Origins The integration of Transylvania into the newly established Kingdom of Hungary began around 1003. The province became subject to intensive colonization, leading to the arrival and settlement of colonists of diverse origin, including the Hungarian-speaking Székelys and the Ethnic Germans. The territory of Transylvania was divided for administrative reasons within territorial units known as "counties" and "seats". The seven Transylvanian counties ( Doboka, Fehér, Hunyad, Kolozs, Küküllő, Szolnok, and Torda County) were institutions primarily run by local noblemen. However, their heads or '' ispáns''Makkai 1994, p. 207. were subject to the authority of a higher official, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
