Miklós Horthy de Nagybánya II (Hungarian: Horthy Miklós László János Benedek; Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈhorti ˈmikloːʃ ˈlaːsloː ˈjaːnoʃ ˈbɛnɛdɛk]; 14 February 1907 – 28 March 1993) was the younger son of Hungarian regent Admiral Miklós Horthy and, until the end of World War II, a politician.
As part of this operation, Miklós Jr. was kidnapped by German commandos led by Otto Skorzeny, and threatened with death unless his father surrendered and agreed to appoint the Arrow Cross Party as the new government.
While his father was placed under house arrest in Bavaria, the younger Miklós was sent to the Dachau concentration camp.
[2] Father and son went into exile in Portugal, where Miklós Horthy Jr. lived almost fifty years before dying at Estoril, near Lisbon, in 1993.
He had two daughters with his first wife Countess Mária Consueló Károlyi (1905–1976), Zsófia Horthy (1928–2004, Mrs Henry Freytag, then Mrs Charles Filliettaz) and Nicolette Horthy (1929–1990, Baroness Georg Bachofen von Echt).
