The Legend of Saint László amongst the Hungarian Csángó Peoples of Moldavia. Myths of Saint László are found in every corner of the Hungarian language region – many of which actually fall outside the borders of present day Hungary. This article concentrates on variants found amongst the Csángó Hungarians in Romanian Moldavia. The Hungarian King László, Ladislav I (1046–1095) – Ladislaus – was canonized on June 27, 1192 by Pope Celestine III. Legends depict King László as a knight-king, the incarnation of the late-medieval Hungarian ideal of chivalry. Legends of Saint László are usually related to his heroism fighting the Tatar invasions of the period. By Tampu Krisztián.
