Legend says King Matthias was crowned on the ice of the Danube -
háromszor repült az korona az égbe / háromszor szállt rája, Mátyás szép
fejére. 500 years later our group, Mare Temporis, was invited to do some
performances; this time, on ice. If anyone ever wondered if ice-skating
is possible in armour: it is.
