There IS no proof thar the CroatS had ever

This experience. throughout Hungary, has
opened the eyes of the allies of Austria. The
Hunearlans had always warned them that n
they should succeed with Austria, they would
find themselves deceived. and they would see
themselves under tyranny worse than had ever
