Legends of the Stone Nevitsky Castle
What we have learned (Olexander Dzembas, lead archaeologist)
of the original history of the castle?
When we talk about the Middle Ages,
it is sometimes surprising, sometimes shocking.
The castle has its own aura.
Captive
Once, there was a cruel princess
who pondered
on a steep hill above the river Uzh,
among the dense Carpathian forest
build herself
stone fortress.
And she needed a young ***.
And this, entombed in stone captured girl,
will make the fortress
unassailable.
It was believed, when the castle, which was under construction,
immure girl or a young child
or even an adult,
it will be impregnable.
As to immurement
in the walls of the girls
of some castles,
I think, that this did not happen here.
Castle is a cursed place, and they talk about it, it's a bad place.
Before completion of construction,
of the castle, there was
a very strong uprising which was based
the Orthodox boyars
under the direction of Peter Zavorushnika.
Were captured many prisoners.
Roughly in chronological order, this time
coincides with the beginning
of stone construction.
So, for them to work intensively
some of them were
executed to scare others
if they won't to work.
Their blood was mixed in the mortar.
As for
Nevitsky castle,
I think, it is impossible to confirm,
but also do not know how
to argue against this legend.
Blood and milk
The fact about child's blood and milk is
associated with the medieval hungarian legend,
or scientific hoax,
which is associated with a certain
rich woman,
...Catalina Pereni,
...Erzhbet Bathory
...Countess Bona
And ordered the princess
to mix into construction the human blood
and breast milk.
The castle is still not a small building,
even by today's scale.
Imagine Uzhansky Valley:
Uzhgorod population of about 300 people,
population Nevitsky castle and surrounding areas about 300 people.
A couple of villages, where ten houses.
In the 12th century, farmers living
Uzhansky Valley
called "Iobado casta", ie
peasants who were only serving the castle.
Another thing, what happened to them afterwards.
These all peasants, serfs, as they are often called
they were not so poor.
They owned significant estates.
In addition to their own house and small property
they still had a few acres of land holdings.
And land lords, of course, were very interested
so they could pay taxes.
It was the same everywhere, or he was a Slav mogul, or he was Hungarian
or he was French, or Italian, or German.
Bride's Castle
All of the county's population, in particular women
refuge here in Nevitsky castle.
Hiding, and the men in the meantime
protected them.
Hence the name "Nevitsky", "Nevestsky." (from Brides)
...lastly, do not remember the year
...stakes and heads on stakes.
This practice was not only connected
to Dracula, so that was a vampire.
This were usually not only done by lords,
this were made by locals too.
Brought heads and showed
and proved that: here I killed so many and so many people.
... they were in a relationship with Dracula?
- I think they were...
Who did not bow to the ground before the lord of the castle,
instantly the head of this man
turn up on the stick.
Pogan (Bad) Lady
(Olexander Dzembas, lead archaeologist) When it was evening,
the night was dark,
I put on a white shirt,
got up to castle wall , but I cannot hear children.
I walked by the castle wall
and went quietly in the archaeological camp by another path.
Suddenly I see a very pale girl and she said:
Uncle Alex, go take a look!
Pogan Lady walks through the castle!
All students, all children are staying pale, petrified
and they all look, all I show - "there, there she is
just been there,
she still moves!"
No, I do not believe in ghosts...
Uncle Alex, said she was such beautiful, she had such big eyes...
I do not believe, I have not.
So as Pogan Lady in this case was me.
... and is unlikely will see again.
Legends of the Stone. Nevitsky Castle.
She killed her maids and bathed in their blood.
Regarding the cosmetic properties of blood.
Really believed
in what it can
produce such an effect.
There could not be here this cruelty. It is too much...
But we should consider the fact whether we like it or not,
this place - the Carpathian range, however, was
under the influence of multi-vector culture of Western Europe.
Close relatives of the Hungarian court, such as
Erzsebet Bathory - could. And not only could - they did it.
Once, when she brought the lawsuit, she hid it in Nevitsky castle.
No, not a wolf, is the soul.
Pogan Lady.
Janku was from Orehovtsy, next village.
The fact is that Janka is associated with
hungarian king Corvin Matiyash.
