Chronological listing of Polish-Lithuanian and Hungarian sabers

14 - Tomb effigy of Dobó István (1502 - 1572)

He died in 1572 at his home in Szerednye (a settlement located in present-day Transcarpathia, halfway between Uzhhorod and Munkács), and on 28 June his body was brought to Dobóruszka-HU/Ruská-SK (in the Košice Region of eastern Slovakia). The red-marble Renaissance sarcophagus made by his son Dobó Ferec around 1610. In the sanctuary of the church in Dobóruszka. The side panels of the tomb, which can still be seen here today, are original, but the famous cover is only a copy. The original marble tombstone cover can be seen today in the István Dobó Castle Museum in Eger, in the Heroes' Hall, complete with a copy of the side panels and a so-called "crab wolf" marble helmet that was later added to the tombstone. The following inscription can be read on it: "Here is the grave of István Dobó, who repulsed the thousands of armies of the Turks from the walls of Eger, and by an excellent triumph, he drove away the fate of Hungarian land. His son, Ferenc Dobó, claimed this memory to be truly worthy of national mourning." So, the effigy was made 52 years after his death! The photos are of the original.

Difficult to tell if the sabre depicted here has very-long quillons like the Zrinski/Bebek/Bathory sabres. One quillon is noticeably longer than the other (fragmented though).

PS: Don't worry, more dead guys to come!

15 - Tomb of Apaffy György (died in 1635 but the effigy was made in 1660-61), Church of Gyulafehérvár/Alba Iulia, Transylvania, Romania

Unfortunately the sabre on the effigy is heavily damaged, and the photos I found were not very helpful. So this one is just for info.

16 - Two effigies for Illésházy István

The first effigy was erected by Illésházy István himself, his first wife, Anna Erdődy died in 1577. He carved his image as well on the memorial stone because he thought he would rest in the same place where his beloved wife
who died at the age of 26. However, nine years after the death of the first woman, István, who was growing in power and wealth, remarried and married the wealthy Countess Katalin Pálffy, the widow of János Krussich. The Katalin survived her husband, who died in 1609, and burried him, not next to the first woman in Bratislava, but in Bazin.

Unfortunately, the sabres depicted are not very detailed.
