A King

Just by the Fisherman's Bastion on Castle Hill in Budapest is this statue of King Stephen the I. He was the first king of Hungary (1000 - 1038) and is considered both to be the founder of the Kingdom of Hungary and the one that established Christianity in the region. He also greatly expanded the Hungarian control of the Carpathian Basin.
