The Kuruc were real 18th-century anti-Habsburg rebels; this series became foundational Hungarian national mythology during communist-era television.
Ferenc Zenthe became so synonymous with Eke Máté that Hungarians still quote his lines decades later; he reportedly kept his costume sword until his death in 2014.
