Dániel Berzsenyi

Dániel Berzsenyi was born on 7 May 1776 in Hetye, into a noble family, of which he was the only child. A pupil at the Lutheran lyceum of Sopron, he left it without finishing his studies and served in the army for less than a year. To escape his father's authority, he married Zsuzsanna Dukai Takách, aged fourteen, and settled on his wife's lands near Sömjén, then, from 1804, in Nikla. A member of the Hungarian Academy, he died in Nikla on 24 February 1836.
