Prince Charles can help identify the remains of one of the Hungarian kings
It is possible that the remains of Aba Sámuel, the third king of Hungary, and his wife were found during an excavation in Abasar. In order for scientists to be able to determine the origin of the extraordinary find, they will need special help: Prince Charles of Wales can identify the former monarch.
Today, Abasár, with 2,500 inhabitants, has been the center of a clan since the time of the conquest, at one time it was also the royal center, and it is certainly here that the body of Sámuel Aba, the 3rd king of Hungary, was laid to rest here. "The country was ruled from this place for 1,000 years. This is almost incomprehensible for the residents of a small settlement," Attila Kazsu, the mayor of Abasár, told Ripost.
We have few monuments and archaeological sites that have been preserved in such good condition"
Miklós Makoldi, director of the Archaeological Research Center of the Hungarian Research Institute, told the newspaper. "There hasn't been a similar discovery in recent decades. Here, during the Árpád era, there was a lively life and a royal-level manor house. A church of similar size and significance and a Dominican monastery can be found on Margit Island, where Saint Stephen and Saint Margaret were buried. Abasár was in the same rank as him."
Recently, the skeletons of two people buried close to each other were found. They know that Aba Sámuel was buried here, but it is not yet certain that one of them is his skeleton.
THE LAND REMAINS OF THE HUNGARIAN KING CAN BE IDENTIFIED WITH THE HELP OF PRINCE KÁROLY OF WALES
The Rhédey family from Transylvania is one of the oldest Hungarian families, originating from the Aba family in the 13th century. century. Later, fleeing from the Habsburgs, the family settled in Transylvania, in Erdőszentgyörgy.
CLAUDIA RHÉDEY WAS BORN HERE IN 1812. She is the great-aunt of QUEEN ELIZABETH, and the stepmother of PRINCE KÁROLY.

Since the DNA of a man is needed to establish kinship in archaeogenetics, a DNA sample is not needed from Elizabeth, but from her son, Károly, in order to determine whether the skeleton of the Hungarian king, Sámuel Aba, was definitely found in Abasar.
