 Historical Text Archive: E-Books : Austria-Hungary and Poland,...: 18: Rise of Transylvania
The first and most famous of these rulers was Gabriel Bethlen, who reigned from 1613 to 1629, perpetually thwarted all the efforts of the emperor to oppress or circumvent his Hungarian subjects, and won some reputation abroad by adroitly pretending to champion the Protestant cause.
Three times he waged war on the emperor, twice he was proclaimed king of Hungary, and by the peace of Nikolsburg (Dec. 31, 1621) he obtained for the Protestants a confirmation of the treaty of Vienna and for himself seven additional counties in northern Hungary besides other substantial advantages.
Gabriel Bethlen and George Rákóczy I. also did much for education and civilization generally, and their era has justly been called the golden era of Transylvania.

His alliance with Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden for that purpose was no secret at Vienna, where the court estimated at their right value Rak6czy's hypocritical assurances of pacific amity.
He was elected prince of Transylvania during his father's lifetime (Feb. 19, 1642), and married (Feb. 3, 1643), Sophia Bathory, who was previously compelled by his mother to reject the Roman faith and turn Calvinist.

"Bathory" is a Magyar (Hungarian) name derived from "Bátor," a place in northeastern Hungary.
"Bathory" is pronounced something like "BAW-tor-y" and we found many spellings from your period.
In modern Magyar the family name is put first, so that a typical name would be "Bathory Anna." In period this wasn't always done--we suspect that Latin documents put the names in the usual order and that Magyar documents put them in the reversed order.

Hellhammer was formed by Thomas Gabriel Warrior on guitar, vocals and most of the songwriting and Martin Eric Ain, handling bass duties, and a lesser known drummer, Bruce Day.
In the 70s, heavy metal was more of a mid-tempo groovy affair, while the first trash bands incorporated the speed and energy of punk to make what is known today as proto-trash-metal, the first form of extreme metal.
Hellhammer lacked the musicianship required to express their musical ideas, but when they decided to practice their instruments enough to be able to match their musical vision, they renamed themselves Celtic Frost and became one of the best extreme metal band ever.

From the violent, underworld chord of Insulter Of Jesus Christ to the filthy, occult, bizarre coldness of Eternal Black, this CD is certainly for the early Death/Black Metal fan, desperately so far seeking for the ancient wisdom nowadays pushed back by amoralist prog-mind today’s ordains.

Since the heir of the Rakoczi's possessions, Prince Francis I Rakoczi, was still a minor, the administration of the Rakoczi's fortune was in the hands of the prince's mother, Countess Sophia nee Bathory.
According to the leading Carpathian historian, Father Michael Luchkay (1789-1843), Countess Sophia Bathory not only granted freedom from serville work to our clergy in accordance with the canonical privileges, but also ordered all her officials to respect the Byzantine rite feastdays and not to force the people to work on those days.
In 1688, Countess Helen Zrinyi, after the castle of Mukachevo was seized by the imperial forces, as wife of Thokoly, was permitted to join her husband in Nicomedia (presently Izmit), Turkey, and to take with her all the family treasures.
