Hungary
 , in the county of Bereg, 220' M. E.N.E. of Budapest by
rail
 . Pop. (1900), 13,640. It is situated on the Latorcza river, and on the outskirts of the
East
  Beskides mountains, where the hills.
touch
  the plains. Its most noteworthy buildings are the
Greek
  Catholic
cathedral
  and the beautiful castle of
Count
  Schonborn. In the vicinity, on a steep hill 58o ft. high, stands the old fort of Munkacs, which played an important
part
  in Hungarian history, and was especially famous for its heroic defence by Helene Zrinyi, wife of Emeric Tokoli and
mother
  of Francis Rak6czy II., for three years against the Austrians (1685-1688). It was afterwards used as a prison. Ypsilanti, the hero of
Greek
  liberty, and Kazinczy, the regenerator of Hungarian letters, were confined in it. According to tradition, it was near Munkacs that the Hungarians, towards the end of the 9th
century
 , entered the country. In 1896 in the fort was built one of the "millennial
monuments " established at seven different points of the kingdom.
