THE KÁROLYI HUSSAR REGIMENT’S RECRUITMENT IN THE TISZÁNTÚL REGION464 DURING THE REVOLT OF PÉRÓ SZEGEDINÁC RESUME The kuruc uprising, so called “Péró revolt” outbreaking in Szentandrás (Békésszentandrás) on 27th April 1735 has been preoccupying the Hungarian and the Serbian historiography for a long time. The events were treated by a number of longer or shorter studies and more of our outstanding historians - Miklós K. Papp (1865), Mihály Zsilinszky (1876), Sándor Márki (1893) and László Hadrovics (1951) - devoted a separate monograph to the insurgence. On behalf of the Serbs the topic was approached by Milan Savic (Emil Szavits) in his summary published in 1876; later fundamental sources were issued by Jovan Radonic; but it is worth knowing that at the end of the 19th century General Avram Djukic also carried out an extensive research in this field. In the passed decades academic Slavko Gavrilovic published a number of till then not known sources. About 23 years after the anti-Habsburg revolt led by Ferenc Rákóczi II was suppressed (1711), at the turn of 1734-1735 a new “kuruc” movement was taking shape in the South Great Plain region. Rákóczi’s onetime soldiers living in Szentandrás, Mezőtúr and Sarkad decided to take up arms in hope of the prince’s return and for this purpose they turned to the Serbian border-guards for help. The complotters knew well the old commander of Pécska Szegedinác Péró who gave promise to collaborate with them. The preparation was made in the strictest secrecy and before several months passed they succeeded in gaining followers from more counties, however an unfortunate event compelled the Hungarians to take up arms prematurely on 27th of April. Within less than two weeks they managed to recruit approx. 1000—1200 insurgents from the area of Békés and the neighbouring counties. Majority of the “kurucs” were coming from Békés, Bihar, Heves, Zaránd Counties and the area of Nagykunság. They mostly belonged to the Hungarian ethnic group, in small part to 464 Transtibiscus, beyond the River Tisza (translator). 263
