Ernő Kiss

His father was Ágoston Kiss and his mother was Anna Bogdanovics who after had been early widowed married later with Ernő Leuven.

His wife was Krisztina Horváth, and they had three daughters: After graduating from the Vienna Theresianum in 1818 Kiss joined the Imperial army's cavalry regiment.

He initiated the first major victory in the southern land, capturing the Serbian camp in Perlasz (present-day Perlez) on 2 September.

Before the Battle of Pákozd, Lajos Batthyány wanted Kiss to take the leadership of the main Hungarian Army but finally it did not happen because at the military council in Sukoró János Móga volunteered to fight against the Croats.

After the surrender of Világos, Kiss was captured and brought into the custody of Czarist Russia, and later he was turned over to Imperial Austrian captivity.

Kiss' sentence was modified to death by firing squad instead of hanging because he did not command legions against the Imperial Austrian army (this happened with József Schweidel also because of the same reason).
