After the loathsome execution of his older son, L\u00e1szl\u00f3, by King Ladislaus the Posthumous, Erzs\u00e9bet swore revenge and through her motherly ways brought the entire kingdom onto the brink of a civil war. A couple of days after the king fled the country for Prague, Ladislaus died unexpectedly, and the young Matthias was crowned King of Hungary.<\/p>\n<p>If someone\u2019s popularity is measured by the variety of public venues that were named after them, then it\u2019s safe to say that Szent Margit (Saint Margaret) of the House of \u00c1rp\u00e1d is one of the city\u2019s most revered women. <strong>Margaret Bridge, Margit utca, Margit k\u00f6r\u00fat and Margaret Island<\/strong> have all been named after the holy virgin daughter of King B\u00e9la IV and Maria Laskarina, and who, by the way, is the niece of another Hungarian saint, St. Elizabeth. Margit was born in Dalmatia during the Mongol invasion of Hungary, and was offered by his father to serve God in hopes that the Lord would save the kingdom. She had spent her life in a convent on Margaret Island (then named Island of the Rabbits), praying, working and helping the poor, while refusing to break her celibate vows for suitors. She died at 27 years of age, but her rose-scented body did not start to decompose until three weeks after her death.<\/p>\n<p>In case you\u2019re looking for the long-lost milieu of 19th century Budapest, take a trek through downtown\u2019s <strong>Veres P\u00e1ln\u00e9 utca<\/strong>, a narrow street situated just a few corners from the FUNZINE headquarters. The comfy street is named after pedagogue P\u00e1ln\u00e9 Veres (n\u00e9e Hermin Beniczky), the pioneer of women\u2019s education in Hungary, prominent feminist of her time (mind you, this was in the 1840s!), renowned promoter of women\u2019s rights, and founder of the country\u2019s first secondary school for women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although when asked to list
