Legends and tales

*In this presentation you will have chance

to know some of our legends connected

with our castles and heroes.

*We think that the most important for

Slovakia is the legend about Juro Jánošík.

The legend of King Svatopluk´s three rods 1

The King Svatopluk wanted to see his three sons before the death. He gave each of them a twig and ordered them to break it. Young men have done it very easily.

Then the king gave all three tiedtwigs and again he said them to break a bunch of twigs.This task was much more difficult.

The legend of King Svätopluk three rods 2

*This way he showed them how important the

unity is.

* After the death of Svätopluk in 894, his sons

shared Great Moravia.

*A Hungarian invasion in 907

has ended its existence.

*Bebek lived with his wife and kids in the region called Gemer. He was a shepherd of the sheep. They were poor. One day Bebek with the sheep were in the meadow and saw a big stone on the road.

* When he threw it away, he found money underneath. Then he saw that the stone fluoresces. He took him to

the king. They found there that it is a diamond.

* The king gave him money and built 7 sheep-folds for him. But really they were 7 castles and Krásna Hôrka was one of them.

LEGEND of Beckov Castle * According to the legend, Ctibor built this castle for

his clown Becko .

*One day when Ctibor was very sad,

only clown Becko could cheer him.

*Ctibor kept his word and built the castle.

*When the castle was finished

he liked it so much that he wanted

to have it as a residence.

*Becko sold him the castle then.

*It was the most unconquerable

castle in that time.

*It stands on the very high rock.

Bojnice: Legend about the black lady

*A lord with his wife lived in Bojnice castle. She was as good as

an angel. She liked to help people.

*Young lord had to leave to the war. When he came back, bad

people lied to him-his lady was amusing all nights with

unknown knights. His wife was innocent and she was

sentenced.

*The verdict: A young lady with her baby,

who was born after the husband went

to the war, had to jump off

Huňady´s tower to the stone dike.

* If she was innocent nothing should

happen to them and when she

transgressed their life should end.

*And it happened. A young lady together

with her little baby in her arms jumped

into depth.

*Instead of the fall, the castle lady with

her

baby flew high up to the sky.

*Heartsore castle lord left to the

monastery forever. Since then you can

hear strange voices from Huňady´s

tower.

Legend -Juraj Jánošík 1*The most important Slovak hero is Juraj Jánošík, a legendary outlaw and the Slovak Robin Hood.

*He became a captain of outlaw

group, when he was 23 years old.

* According to the legend,

he robbed nobles and gave the loot

to the poor.

Jánošík had incredible strength thank to the miraculous things that he received from fairies .

*It was VALAŠKA - a kind of axe, but smaller and lighter - very sharp and fast and it was able to cut without help.

*WHITE SHIRT resistant from bullets and swords.

*Then it was his MAGIC BELT which made him strong and immortal.

*Juro’s special HAIRDO which was made by fairies – a power of three strong men was hidden in the braids.

Legend about Juraj Jánošík 2

*Jánošík was imprisoned in Liptovský Mikuláš.

*The way of his execution became part of his modern legend.

*A hook was pierced through his left side and he was left dangling on the gallows to die.

*A legend says that he refused the grace offered in exchange for enlisting soldiers of his abilities with the words: "If you have baked me so you should also eat me!"

and jumped on the hook.
