Dozsa, Gyorgy

    0.02 sec.

Dozsa, Gyorgy (died 1514)

Hungarian soldier and rebel leader. After conducting a heroic defence of Belgrade against the Turks, Dozsa was ennobled and appointed to lead a crusade. However, he turned instead against the aristocracy, raised a peasant army, and began the bloodiest uprising in Hungary's history. Defeated at Temesvár, he was tortured and killed; his lieutenants were forced to eat his flesh after his death.
