Europe was torn by religious and dynastic wars in the 16th century while the mighty Ottoman Empire was getting ready to conquer the countries of the Christian world. It was a time when the Hungarian warriors of the Valiant Order had contributed vastly more than their share to save the European civilization. Let us meet and pay tribute to the generations of these long-forgotten heroes. This book offers a glimpse into the history of the castles of the 1,000-mile-long Hungarian-Croatian-Transylvanian Borderland, beginning with some of the northern castles of the old Kingdom of Hungary. There are many beautiful castles and ruins on hilltops with stories and legends attached to them all along this long frontier. They have witnessed smaller or bigger raids, battles and sieges, have seen many cowardice, bloodshed and heroism. In this book, I have chosen thirty-three castles from those which used to guard the northern part of the Hungarian Kingdom against the expanding Ottoman Empire. Their old Hungarian name is commonly used in the stories and in their historical descriptions but I gave the modern names and the GPS coordinates as well so as to find them easier on new maps because these fabulous places are worth visiting. Also, I have included some pictures into this book but you can find more if you visit my Facebook page, the ,,Hungaries-1632" where more information can be found about the castles and the historical period. This is the third edition of my book, it contains only black and white pictures (unlike the first edition) for making the price lower.
