Gregor Baci

Gregor Baci (Hungarian: Gergely Paksy) was a Hungarian nobleman from the 16th century, known for a severe head injury he sustained during a joust or battle with the Ottoman Empire. According to the traditional account, he miraculously survived this injury for a year. This story has been passed down through a portrait painted by an unknown German painter. The portrait is currently displayed in the Chamber of Art and Curiosities at Ambras Castle in Innsbruck, Austria, along with a 3D model created by the Medical University of Innsbruck, which clearly shows how such an injury could have occurred without damaging vital organs or vessels.
