Today, we begin approaching the end of our season, with a mini-series I dubbed “The Daughters of Árpád’s House”. And who else better to usher in these stories than arguably the most well-known one of them – in Hungary, at the least. Saint Margit’s story inspired people in her own time, up until to our present day. The princess, who lived on an island became venerated even in her own life, then continued to excite the national consciousness for centuries.

Come, join us as we discuss what might be the reason for the longevity of her story, and how she came to influence not just the city that grew up around her island, but Hungary’s own, national memory.
