Summary/Abstract: During the Old Town execution in Prague on June 21, 1621, twenty-seven members of the Bohemian community, ten nobles and seventeen townspeople perished at the executioner‘s hand. In many cases, these were respected figures in the political, diplomatic, cultural and scientific fields. It is known that one of the executed, Jan Jessenius, was of Hungarian descent, but otherwise the relationship of the others to Hungary has not yet been studied. The following studies will try to decipher their Hungarian contacts and define the areas in which they took place.
