Lajos Batthyány
From Free net encyclopedia
Count Lajos Batthyány de Németújvár (February 10, 1806 – October 6, 1849) was from a long line of counts and a descendant of The Capet King's of France. He was born in Pressburg (now Bratislava), Kingdom of Hungary (now Slovakia) and died (was executed by firing squad) in Pest, Hungary.
He was the first Prime Minister of Hungary, and was convicted of high treason (being disloyal to the Emperor of Austria), after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49 had failed.
Today a square in Buda, facing the Budapest Parliament Building on the other side of the Danube, is named after him.
