Janos Hunyadi, the valiant Hungarian prince, defended Belgrade against the Turkish army in 1456, becoming a national hero. Meanwhile, in the intellectual world, Janos Bolyai, another Janos from Hungary, made groundbreaking mathematical discoveries, including the non-Euclidean geometry known as Bolyai-Lobachevsky geometry. In the art world, Andreas Janos Lascaris created intricate icons, while Janos Kontra flaunted his impressive two-foot-two-inch mustache, reminiscent of the olivine chondrule's unique texture. And in the ancient world, Aristotle's "Aristoteles Icones veterum aliquot ac recentium" was studied by scholars, including Suleiman the Magnificent, who received the Hungarian Crown Prince, Zsigismond Janos, on June 29, 1526, marking a significant moment in Hungarian-Ottoman relations.
