Description of work: Gheorghe Doja (György Dózsa),1470 – 20 July 1514 was a man-at-arms (and by some accounts, a nobleman) from Transylvania, who led a peasants’ revolt against the Hungarian landed nobility. He was eventually caught and after 15 days, Doja was sentenced to sit on a heated iron throne with a heated iron crown on his head and a heated scepter in his hand (mocking at his ambition to be king). Thus, martyr Gheorghe Doja dies enduring awful pains and all this, because he wanted that in 1514, serfs were no longer considered cattle, but human beings. During the Middle Ages, torture was a very common way to punish offenders. The Chair of Torture – A striking instrument, the Chair was widely used throughout medieval Europe and beyond. It’s origins are not clear, but the truth remains: This is one of the most painful and psychologically striking tortures ever devised by the human mind. Today, on the site of the martyrdom of the hot throne, there is the statue of Virgin Mary, in Piata Maria (Mary’s Square), and the street was named after his name – Gheorghe Doja.
