KING ST. STEPHAN AND THE HUNGARIAN NOBLES
IN 999, KING ST. STEPHAN FORBID THE PAGAN SACRIFICE OF WHITE HORSES
BY THE NOBLES SO THAT THEY MIGHT BECOME CHRISTIANS. AND SO IT WAS,
UNTIL ONE DAY HE CHANCED TO SEE SOME NOBLES SACRIFICING THE WHITE
HORSES TO THE PAGAN GODS. HE DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION OF
THEMSELVES. HE HAD PROCLAIMED THERE TO BE ONLY ONE GOD. THEY
REPLIED: "THE HUNGARIAN NOBLE IS MAN ENOUGH TO HAVE TWO GODS."
Submitter comment: INFORMANT HEARD THIS FROM HER GRANDMOTHER.
