Serbian roots

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article includes unfounded statements about the roots of his mother. Although speculations about Serbian genealogy - trying to explain his admiration for the region and language - were present in prevoius works, there is no reliable source of Serbian background or orientation during his upbringing. His mother was an avid supporter of Lajos Kossuth which makes it really hard to believe that she brought up her son in the spirit of the Serbian national idea.

Mikszáth writes about the roots of his serbophilia in a newspaper article (The second Baptism of Béni Kállay): In his twenties he learned the language as he was persuing his political ambitions and tried to win the sympathy of the Szentendre (dominantly Serbian merchant) electorate. https://www.arcanum.com/hu/online-kiadvanyok/Mikszath-mikszath-osszes-muve-2A85B/cikkek-es-karcolatok-5186-kotet-40CD5/1882-pesti-hirlap-64-kotet-483BC/kallay-beni-masodik-kereszteloje-48423/

Recent research shows that the Blaskovich family of Ebeczk could originate from Blaškovec, Croatia.

Also the use of Serbian/Croatian(?) transliteration of the name (Blašković instead of Blaskovich) in the case of a Hungarian noble family is misleading. https://www.arcanum.com/hu/online-kiadvanyok/Nagyivan-nagy-ivan-magyarorszag-csaladai-1/potlek-kotet-D207/blaskovich-csalad-ebeczki-D5A0/

A similar problem appears in the case of his mentor Mihály Táncsics, a Hungarian revolutionary, who clearly identified his father as a Croat in his autobiography.
