The articled ealsw ith the FrancisII Rákoczi Uprising/ Frantisek II Rakoci / (1703- 1711), especiallwy ith the eventso f the year 1704. In that year,a political manifest by Rákoczi Ferenc II / Frantisek II. Rakoci was published in Trnava with an appeal to the public for joining the rebels.Two important battles took place also near Smolenice a Trnava in 1704. Unlike the battle of Smolenice, which ended in victory, the battle of Trnava brought a sour defeat that was a result of little military experiences and a lack of discipline. In the battle of Trnava Rákoczi appeared in a position of the chief commander for the first time and we can say that he proved to be a good one. A historical song about the battle of Trnava by unknown author has been preserved. It is the evidence that the general public sided with rebels. Rákoczi fought for the independence of Hungary, his Hungarian patriotism had geographical and polical content.
