Bertha Legend (Bertha au grand pied or Big-Foot Bertha, a.k.a. “Bertrada Broadfoot”, “Goosefoot” and “The Spinner”) (Laon, Aisne around 720, France- Choisy, Haute-Savoie, France 12 July 783) – According to the Charlemagne legends, Bertha, daughter of either the Count of Laon or a Hungarian king, became the wife of Pepin (Pipin, Pippin) the Short (751-768), King of the Franks. She is rumored to have been very beautiful but had large feet. Legend has it that on her journey to Pepin’s court as a bride, her evil escort had arranged to have her killed and to send his ugly daughter to Pepin instead. However, in some miraculous way, Bertha escaped death and during a royal hunt Pepin saw her and married her before 742. Of this marriage, Charlemagne (Charles the Great) was born. Thus goes the legend, which strongly resembles the swan-footed or goose-footed German pagan goddess, Berchta (or Perahta, meaning bright or shiny in Old High German). Several versions of it exist in Latin, Italian and French. In German legends she was known as The Spinner (Die Spinnerin). Bertha was the subject of many medieval poems; the best known is the one by the Walloon troubadour Adanet le Roi: Berte aus grand pies, written in 1275. Francois Villon (1431-ca.1480) apostrophizes “Berte au grant pié” in his Ballade des dames du temps jadis (Ballad of the Ladies of Bygone Times). In French and Burgundian churches one can still see statues of Reine Pedaque (Regina pede aucae). The story is known in Hungarian Transylvanian (Erdély, now in Romania) folk legend as The Shaman and the Gooseherd Girl (A táltos és a libapásztor lány). She has also inspired proverbs such as “Al tempo que Berte filava” (Italian), “Die Zeit ist hin, wo Berta spann” (German), and “Ce n’est plus le temps oú Berthe filait” (French). All to the effect that the good old times, when Bertha spun, are gone. Nobody knows when and where the various versions of the legend originated. – B: 1054, 7617, T: 7617. Bertha, Zoltán (Szentes, 4 June 1955 - ) – Literary historian, critic. His higher studies were at the University of Debrecen, where he read Hungarian and English Literature (1973-1978).

His high school studies were at Gyöngyös (1889-1896), Eger (1896-1897) and Jászberény (1897-1898), where he matriculated. He started his ethnographic collecting at the age of 14. He studied at the Arts Faculty of the University of Budapest, concluding with a Ph.D. in Arts in 1905. In the same year he started to work as a school inspecting clerk at Lugos (now Lugoj, Romania). From 1907 to 1913 he worked on his magnum opus: the Vocabulary of Fables (Meseszótár), accepted for publication by the Athenaeum Publishers, while he worked at Nagyenyed (now Aiud, Romania) from 1908, and at Csíkszereda (now Miercurea Ciuc, Romania) from 1915. This great work became lost. In the middle of World War I, when the Romanians invaded Transylvania, entering the war against the Central Powers, thus hoping to gain more, Berze Nagy had to flee with his family, and as a result he lost his 800-volume library. For a year he found refuge and work in Debrecen. However, from 1917, after the intruding Romanian army units were driven out from Transylvania, he could go back to Csíkszereda and work there. Then he was appointed as Royal Hungarian School Inspector at Pancsova (now Pančevo, Serbia). Despite the upheavals caused by the dismemberment of Historic Hungary, he found work in Szekszárd (1919); then, from 1924 until his retirement in 1939, he worked at Pécs in southern Transdanubia. In order to salvage his lost collection of fables, he assembled a great catalogue of more than 500 Hungarian folk-tales, the first of its kind in Europe. His work on mythology remained in manuscript form, entitled the Origin of the Ancestral Hungarian Religion (A magyar ősvallás eredete) remained in manuscript form and was published only after his death with the new title of Tree Reaching to the Sky (Égigérő fa) (1958, 1961, 2004). Another significant work by him is the Hungarian Folktale Types, vols. i,ii (Magyar népmesetipusok, I-II) (1957). The high school of Gyöngyös was named after him in 1971. – B: 1031, 1105, T: 7456. Berzeviczy, Albert (Berzevicze, now Brezivuca Saros, Slovakia, 7 June 1853 - Budapest, 22 March 1936) – Politician, writer on esthetics, author, historian.

From 1884 he was a Ministerial Counselor; while between 1881 and 1887 he was Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Culture. He was Vice-President of Parliament and Minister of Culture in the Cabinet of Count István (Stephen) Tisza (1903-1905). Thereafter he withdrew from politics for a while.

He was a Member of the Upper House and President of the Pen Club (1932). He was a member, Director and President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (1904-1936).

Berzsenyi, Dániel (Egyházashetye, 7 May 1776 - Nikla, 24 February 1836) – Great lyric poet between the Ages of Enlightenment and Romanticism; was an outstanding master of classical poetry. He enrolled in the Secondary School of Sopron rather late in his life. With his great strength he became the terror of the local German-speaking bully-boys, the Ponzichter or “bean planters”. He never completed his studies. For a short time in 1795 he was a soldier; and from 1798 he looked after the family holdings in Kemenessömjén, living in Nikla from 1803 on. Besides managing the farm he embarked on his literary career. Ferenc (Francis) Kazinczy heard about him from János (John) Kiss and sent suggestions and alternative ideas for his writings. In his poetry the life and times and the inner ideological struggles of the best of the contemporary Hungarian nobility are mirrored. He reached the pinnacle of his art with his nationalistic odes during the Napoleonic Wars between 1805 and 1807. In these works, addressing the common people, he forewarns of the perils looming over the nation and advises them to stand firm. The first volume was published in 1813. He distanced himself from Kazinczy after an argument over the satirical Transdanubian work Mondolat. Criticism by Ferenc (Francis) Kölcsey in 1817 provoked him to a debate. After a prolonged silence, from 1825 he played a significant role in literary circles. Besides writing esthetic works he penned essays about the plight of the peasants. In spite of his considerable wealth he maintained a very simple lifestyle. His gift of expression was extraordinary; his talent often reminds us of the greatest poets of ancient times. Due to his powerful and suggestive language and style he is considered to be the most important forerunner of Hungarian romantic lyric poetry. His works were published posthumously with the title All Works, Poems and Speeches (Összes művei. Költelem és folyóbeszéd) edited by G. Döbrentei (1842); Poems of Dániel Berzsenyi (Berzsenyi Dániel versei) edited by F. Toldy (1860), and Complete works of Dániel Berzsenyi (Berzsenyi Dániel összes művei) edited by O. Merényi (1956). – B: 0883, 1257, T: 7666.→Kazinczy, Ferenc; Kölcsey, Ferenc; Toldy, Ferenc. Berzy, József (Joseph) (Pánd, 7 August 1914 - Toronto, 2003) – Historian, editor, librarian.
