Fráter György: Történelmi regény (1. rész)

A colorful cavalry of Corvin’s men storms up the hill toward Buda Castle, their ornate armor and banners flashing in the sunlight. The vivid scene mixes the clang of steel, the rhythmic beat of ox‑driven carts, and the curious gaze of townsfolk watching the procession crawl past the city walls. As the riders negotiate the fortified gate, their young chaplain fumbles with paperwork, while an aging sergeant jokes about forgotten inscriptions on a stone slab that marks an old bishop’s tomb.

Beyond the gate the capital sprawls in grand, marble‑paved avenues lined with palatial houses, bustling markets, and solemn churches. Noble courtiers, armored guards, and solemn clergy move through the streets in a choreographed display of power and ceremony. The narrative captures the scent of grain, the echo of trumpets, and the tension of a kingdom on the brink, inviting listeners to step into a richly rendered world where history and human ambition collide.
