I have never heard of this man, but I'm glad I have now.

The youtube link on that page is pretty funny. Definitely sounds like he earned his spot on that page. Sir John wrote about Matthias Corvinus a little while back, too.

WOW...talk about a medieval icon to model yourself after...if even half of that was true, he wasn't just some knight, but a Peer of the highest order.  Janos Hunyadi...are there men like that in this day and age?  Geez...that's enough to make a lesser man feel inadequate!

Sir William, we need men like Sir John Hunyadi!  His achievements are awesome and arse kicking that I am compelled to model after him and the other Renaissance Knights that I have posted. ;)

That list is an amazing one and if you have not read it you should.

3 modern arse kickers, all Gurka cause, hey, Gurka are cool:
"Every couple of years, the Gurkhas fighting in Afghanistan
get in trouble because they're always beheading the corpses of Taliban fighters.
That's not even a joke."

I read the Gurka ones previously...of the ones I've read in general, all definitely belong.  Hunyadi though...heroic as hell.
