10 István Dobó Sculpture at Dobó Square in Eger, Hungary

Baron István Dobó de Ruszka was a 16th century Hungarian military leader. In 1549, he was commissioned to command the Eger Castle. In 1552, Ottoman Kara Ahmed Pasha successfully conquered three Hungarian castles before his 40,000 Turkish troops stormed the Eger Castle. István Dobó and 2,300 others – many of the women – were victorious at repelling the assault. This sculpture of the Siege of Eger’s hero was created by Alajos Stróbl. The tribute to István Dobó was erected in the public square that bears his name in 1907.
