Abstract

Veterans of the Hungarian so-called Spring of Nations (1848-1849) commanded over a dozen armed units in the January Uprising. The military art in several categories of the insurgent commanders from this background is analyzed on personal examples: a) being distinguished by successful campaigns; b) of a good level, but famous for one unaided confrontation; c) gradually gaining experience; d) being prevented by circumstances from demonstrating their full skills; e) having raised high expectations yet turning out a great disappointment.
