Who are the Székelys? Are they the descendants of Attila the Hun? A unique warrior class? The ancient guardians of Hungary’s borders?
In our special 20th episode, we delve into the epic history of the Székely people—the easternmost Hungarian group. This one is about the Székelys—my wife’s people. A community with a story of resilience, from medieval warriors carving runes on wood to modern-day bonfires lit for autonomy on the last Sunday of October..
I discuss their fierce love of freedom and why their struggle for rights remains as relevant today as it was in the 16th century.
Tune in for a journey to Székelyföld, a land of fortified churches, legendary battles, and unbroken tradition. If you love tales of identity, courage, and deep history, this is for you.
