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. As far as we know now, at least ten Hungarian Students unfortunately died and were buried during their stay at Franeker. Nine of them were buried at the time in the local Church of the University, one died later (in 1697) in Leeuwarden, the Capital of Frisia, where he was locked up for insanity (Andreas D. Szepesi). For five of them their gravestones are preserved today in the historical Martini Church, in the City Centre of Franeker. Two gravestones date from the 17th Century (Stephanus Csernátoni, buried 1644, and Joannes N. Szepsi, buried 1658), the third one – from the 18th Century – has been used even three times and bears the names of three Students: Stephanus G. Komáromi (buried 1721), Michael K. Pataki (buried 1735) and Daniel Zilahi (buried 1770). Another four names of died and buried Hungarian Students we discovered elsewhere, for the most part in the Archives of the University: Stephanus Némethi (buried 1654), Georgius Balkányi (buried 1666 ?), Michael Baxai (buried 1683), and Samuel Vilmányi (buried 1779).
