NN, 1676–1735, son of Francis I and of Helen Zrinyi, became the leader of the rebellion of the Hungarians against Hapsburg oppression. The outbreak (1701) of the War of the Spanish Succession was followed by an uprising (1703) of the Hungarian peasants, particularly the Calvinists. NN, at the head of the movement, soon controlled most of Hungary and in 1704 was elected “ruling prince” by the diet. He secured the support of King Louis XIV of France, who sent subsidies and troops. At the Diet of Onod (1707) the Hungarian nobles proclaimed the Hapsburg dynasty deposed in Hungary and set up an aristocratic republic. NN, however, suffered severe defeats in 1708 and 1710, and in 1711 the Hungarians and Austrians negotiated peace at Szatmar. The Hungarians were promised an amnesty and the restoration of religious and constitutional freedom. NN, who refused to accept the treaty, fled to Poland, then to France, and eventually to the Ottoman Empire. He died in exile there, but his remains were brought back to Hungary in 1906. He left an autobiography. NN is a major national hero of Hungary. The stirring “NN March,” named in his honor, was composed (1809) by John Bihari. It was used by Berlioz in his Damnation de Faust and by Liszt in the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 15. Playing the march was long forbidden in Hungary, where the tune was used as a national air by the independence movement.

Om man godtar den engelska namnformen (som ju återfinns i ledtråden) så är förnamnet rätt, även om Ferencz är den ungerska namnformen för Franciskus. Eftersom svarsniten f ö varit seg så outar jag även hans famljenamn: Ferencz II Rákóczy. Under perioden 1703-1711 basade han för ett halvfritt Ungern med centrum i Transsylvanien (nordvästra delen inkl nuv Slovakien var habsburgskt hela tiden, på slätten i mitten och söderut satt turken).
