About

At the meeting of the Belcina and Vargatac rivers there was a strong fortress built on the top of the Várdomb rock. The fortress was inhabited by Lady Hirip and her two sons, Ábrahám and Damokos. The two sons made a great fortune by plundering, and they kidnapped a lot of beautiful girls. Eventually, the two Mikó brothers defeated them and the angry people demolished the odious fortress.
