Martin Krpan
Martin Krpan is a fictional character created on the basis of the Inner Carniolan oral tradition〔(Ambivalent Dealings with an Imperial Past: The Habsburg Legacy and New Nationhood in ex-Yugoslavia )〕 by the 19th-century Slovene writer Fran Levstik in the short story ''Martin Krpan from Vrh'' ((スロベニア語:Martin Krpan z Vrha)). Published in 1858 in the literary journal ''Slovenski glasnik'', the popularity of the story led to it becoming a part of Slovene folklore and made its lead character a folk hero.
== The story ==
A Slovene subject of the Habsburg Empire and one of the strongest men in it, Martin Krpan hails from a fictional village in Inner Carniola, Hilltop by the Holy Trinity ('). A smuggler by profession, he makes a living by illegally transporting English salt. With the help of his loyal, diminutive mare, he carries the salt from the Adriatic Sea coast to the Slovene Lands and elsewhere in Inner Austria. On one of his travels, Krpan meets the imperial carriage on a snowbound road, and makes way for it by picking up his laden horse and moving it aside. His extraordinary strength is noted by the Emperor John ('). Several years later, the Emperor summons Krpan to Vienna in order to fight as the Empire's last hope against Brdaus ((スロベニア語:Brdavs)), a brutal warrior who has set up camp outside the imperial capital and challenged all comers, and has already slain most of the city's knights, including the Crown Prince. Reluctantly, Krpan accepts the challenge, scandalizing the court with his uncouthness, honesty and homespun manner, before defeating the brute in a duel by using both his strength and his ingenuity. In gratitude, the Emperor gives him a special permit to legally traffic in English salt, as well as a pouch of gold pieces.〔(Martin Krpan ) - In Slovenian Post's stamps〕
