Ádám Balogh

Ádám Balogh de Bér (c. 1665 in Bérbaltavár, Kingdom of Hungary – 1711 in Buda) was one of the most famous kuruc colonels of the Hungarian army during Rákóczi's War for Independence against the rule of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty.

His father was István Balogh, who died in 1678, and his mother was Rebeka Káldy, a catholic noble lady.

He began service at a young age as the infantry's voivode in Csobánc castle and took part in campaigns of the Turkish wars.

In 1705 he saw action with the kuruc troops who almost captured the Austrian king near Vienna.

In the series, taking place in 1704, he is depicted as a colonel, although historically he was only a captain then.
