E3 Here Comes the Blood

First, we'll take a perilous drive to Kecskemét, underneath the boom of jets and beside of the most remarkable frescos in Hungarian art. We see that — like Kecskemét City Hall's turn-of-the-century architect Ödön Lechner — our old friend Anonymus was trying to imagine a vision of the future as much as he was trying to authentically chronicle the past.Then we'll look at some research into whether or not the myth of the Hungarian blood oath really happened, and if not, what ancient texts or political motivations would have inspired it. Finally, we'll peer into the disaster of King András II's reign and the class upheaval of his time, and how that may have inspired the mythological creation of this bloody "first constitution" of Hungary.Written by Turàn Explorer and produced by Boss Moss.
