Peter Orseolo was the only foreign-born king of Hungary in the Árpádian period, and as such, the target of many attacks, deserved and otherwise. The chroniclers later on would have a vested interest in depicting him as one of the worst kings Hungary ever had – but his contemporaries rose against him in open revolt not once, but twice. In this week’s episode we do not simply discover Peter’s ill-fated reign, but I also sat down with the good folk from the History of Venice podcast, so that we may have a fuller understanding of Peter’s background, and how the circumstances influence the relationship between Hungary and Venice.Check out our friends at the History of Venice!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 by Martin Schmeling.
