-The self-sacrifize of Dugovics Titusz (by Wagner Sándor)
-Otto-hungarian war
Painting is about year 1456, the heroic Siege of Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade)
Sultan Mehmed ordered a general assault on the evening of 21 July. Many attacks were beaten back by the defenders but the attackers could penetrate into the town. They were driven out from there only in the dawn. It was the time when according to the legend, Dugovics Titusz, a defender of the castle saw that a Turkish soldier was planting his flag on the wall: he heroically threw himself at them, sacrificing his life. However, modern historians claim it never happened because the figure of Dugovics was an invented person; but it is quite certain that similar deeds may have been witnessed during the siege.
The Aswārān (singular aswār), also spelled Asbārān and Savaran, was a cavalry force that formed the backbone of the army of the Sasanian Empire.They were provided by the aristocracy, were heavily armored, and ranged from archers to cataphracts.
The asbaran have often been demonstrated as an example of existence of feudalism in Iran by modern scholars, who simply refer them as either chevalier, knight, or ritter. According to historians such as Christensen and Widengren, the asbar had the same status as the knight
Each asbaran unit would have a Drafsh, or heraldric standard. These would have often included legendary creatures and animals. These animals would have included elephants, horses, bears, lions, deer these would also include Zoroastrian mythological creatures such as Bashkuch and the army of asbaran would have the Derafsh Kaviani as their banner.
