Baron Miklós Wesselényi de Hadad ((:ˈmikloːʃ ˈvɛʃɛleːɲi); archaically English: Nicholas Wesselényi;〔Robert J. Hunter : Racing Calendar - Page xxv 1842〕 December 20, 1796 – April 2, 1850), was a Hungarian statesman, leader of the upper house of the Diet, member of the Board of Academy of Sciences, hero of the 1838 Pest flood. A prominent and wealthy Hungarian aristocrat, son of Baron Miklós Wesselényi and Ilona Cserei, he was born at Jibou, and was educated at his father's castle by Mózes Pataky in the most liberal and patriotic direction.〔 He inherited his father's exceptional physical strength, and he further trained himself in different sports, such as horse-riding and swimming. He was a celebrity in his age for his sportsman's accomplishments. ==Early career== Wesselényi entered politics in 1818, taking minor positions at numerous County Diets, as was customary with the upper nobility his family belonged to. He went on a grand tour of Western Europe with his friend, Count Stephen Széchenyi in 1821-22. Realizing their native Hungary's need to catch up with the development of other European states, they become leading figures of the progressive opposition in the Upper House, promoting a program of reform and economic and national development. Hungary was under the foreign rule of the Habsburg emperors, who treated any native reform movement with deep suspicion. The Habsburg government, fearing unrest and independence efforts, took increasingly oppressive measures to curb the nationalist movement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miklós Wesselényi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
