Dózsa György

About the show

King Ulászló ennobles György Dózsa, angering the lords. Dózsa falls in love with noblewoman Lóra Csáky, while his bride Rózsa and friend Barna remind him of his origins. When Zápolya harasses Rózsa and is linked to Dózsa’s mother’s death, Dózsa vows revenge. Peasant forces defeat the nobles. Dózsa keeps Lóra hostage, but Rózsa switches places with her so Lóra can save Dózsa later. Barna kills Rózsa, and Dózsa mourns her before the lords’ army attacks and captures him. Lóra offers to rescue Dózsa, but he accepts his fate. He dies on a burning throne and sees a vision of Rózsa and angels.
