Artist Comment
Why is this manga/anime special to me??
Because it has to do something with my country, and it's history. István St. (997-1038) was the first king
in Hungary. (He changed his name to "István" on 25th december in 1000, or on 1st january in 1001;
before that he was called "Vajk")
Gyula was his enemy, thus he had to be taken out of the way for the sake of reign. The problem was that he believed in
the eastern Christianity, instead of the western, and he lived in Erdély (Transilvania)
Rather than Gyula Koppány was the real problem, because of the rule of the senioratus (after the ruler's
death, the oldest male relative gets the throne, that was an ancient hungarian custom), he would've came to
power.
István in the rule of primogenitura - in other words in the rule of the first born child - came to power, that
was a western custom.
In the end, István defeated all 3 of his opponents, counting Ajtony, who was the 3rd one. He reigned until 1038,
and created the basis of a Christian state, which was started by his father, Géza.
The Mátyás Church, and the Budai Vár, which are in Budapest, can be seen in the manga. However
neither of them existed in the time of István (Pest and Buda was separated; Today, next to Mátyás
Church is the Hilton hotel. The remains of the temple built at that time are now built inside the hotel.)
The Budai Vár was founded by Béla the 4th (1230/35 - 1270).
I don't know if the anime will contain any of this, since today's still 22nd. István, Gyula, Budai
Vár and the Church appeared in the manga.
The anime start on 28. 04.
