Episode Synopsis

The second season of our show begins with a deep-dive into the Kingdom’s reorganization under the reign of István I, better know internationally as Saint Stephan. The task before our protagonist is daunting: his newly formed Kingdom was, just a few short years ago, not much more than a patchwork of tribal lands, still somewhat nomadic in their lifestyle. Join us in exploring the steps István took to bring his kingdom in line with other, European states of their time, and also took care to establish its independence from the great powers all around.Website: historyofthehungarians.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579815072390Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/historyofthehungariansThe song heard in the intro and outro are parts ofJohannes Brahms' Hungarian Dances no. 5, performed in G minor, arranged byMartin Schmeling.
