History

Esze Tamás (1666-1708) was one of the leaders of the fugitives, who fled to the woods from the Habsburg tyranny and started to organize an uprising. He led their mission to Berezhany, Poland, where the Hungarian aristocrats, Rákóczi Ferenc II and Bercsényi Miklós found refuge from the emperor. Rákóczi appointed Esze Tamás first colonel of the army that was to be organized. Rákóczi also gave him a proclamation urging the uprising and the flags of the uprising. Despite Rákóczi's order, the flags were unfurled on the market places of Tarpa, Vári and Beregszász on May 21-22, 1703. With this, the uprising in Tiszahát broke out, and the Hungarian War of Independence started.
