| Summary |
"Mohács, vagy, Két árva gyermek vergődése" by Gyula Krúdy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set approximately 400 years before the events described in the text, focusing on two young princesses, Anna Jagelló and Mária, as they navigate the complexities of royal engagements amid the political intrigues of their time. The book explores themes of identity, heritage, and the constraints placed on women in dynastic politics. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Anna and Mária, who reside in an Innsbruck convent, where they are being educated in preparation for their futures as potential queens. The opening chapters depict their examinations by a distinguished committee, including a powerful bishop, assessing their knowledge of their family's lineage and political significance. As the two young women reflect on their circumstances, they reveal their youthful hopes and aspirations, juxtaposed with the harsh realities and responsibilities of their royal blood. Their conversations provide insight into their characters and set the stage for their intertwined fates in the turbulent landscape of European monarchy during that era.
