Mohács

King Lajos II also died in the battle, as shown by this painting (by SZÉKELY Bertalan) from the XIX. century.

The battle of Mohács is perhaps the most tragic moment in Hungarian history. It marked the fall of a proud kingdom and put an end to Hungarian independence for four-hundred years. The tragic effects of Mohács influence the country's history to the present day and explain the famous Hungarian pessimism too well.
