There was a reason they were called Europe's isolated immigrants. As far as I know, they descend from nomads who crossed over from Asia, and it seems a trace of East Asian culture still remains.
"I was originally a noble of Kemet. Our clan lived in Kemet for generations, but the tyrant seized Kemet from us by force, and we became wanderers."
The tyrant of Hungary would most likely mean King Mátyás. But if my memory serves, Michael had told me these men were a mercenary company sent by King Mátyás.
I didn't know Hungary's internal affairs, but if it's a feudal society like this one, the strengthening of royal power and radical reform can become grounds for civil war. And the clan of this Hungarian mercenary before me had lost.
They hadn't merely been stripped of their rights and lands; they'd been banished, and most of them crossed into Bohemia and Bavaria. That was when the grand duke of Bavaria hired them en masse, so the story went.
Doesn't something seem off?
