Paul Féval: Knightshade

In the middle of the Hungarian Plain there are two graves. The tombs of two French noblemen, the brothers Ténèbre, who came to help the voivode John Hunyadi defend Christendom against the Turks four hundred years ago. 

 But registers of the courts testify-that within the last twenty years alone, the brothers Ténèbre have been hanged in a dozen different places in Hungary, and seven times impaled in Turkish territory. Because they are eaters of human flesh and drinkers of human blood.
