The Complete List of Hungarian and Transylvanian Students Who Passed Away in Franeker
After the Fall of Heidelberg (September 6, 1622) Protestant Students from Hungary and Transylvania went on their way directly to the Northern Netherlands, in order to continue their studies there at the Dutch Universities – especially in Philosophy, Theology and Medicine. So a first group of Students arrived at Franeker – a small town in Frisia – at the end of August, 1623. Until the year 1811, as the local Frisian University was closed, more than 1200 Hungarians were registered in the Franeker Album Studiosorum, a significantly larger number than everywhere else in the Dutch Republic.
