Prince Charles can help to identify the remains of Hungary’s third king
Change language:
Prince Charles can identify whether the remains of Hungary’s third king, Sámuel Aba and his wife have been found at an excavation in Abasár, Northern Hungary.
The historical significance of Abasár can be compared to Székesfehérvár, Esztergom or Budapest, where valuble royal treasures were previously discovered at archaeological excavations.
The settlement, currently inhabited by 2,500 people, used to be a royal centre in the past. This was the place where Hungarian kings ruled the country for 1,000 years, and it seems that some of them even chose it as a burial site, based on the fact that
certainly, Samuel Aba’s skeleton, Hungary’s third king has been found at an excavation in Abasár.
According to the Hungarian Archaeological Research Center, „there are only a few memorial sites, archaeological sites that have remained in such a good condition as Abasár”, adding that in the Árpádian era, there was a busy life around the royal mansion of the settlement.
In Budapest, we can find a church and a Dominican monastery of a similar size and importance on Margaret Island, where St. Stephen and St. Margaret were buried.
I believe his mother can be of better help, she may have met Aba in her youth days…
