General Heinrich Hentzi von Arthurm was known for his staunch defence of the Hungarian Capital of Buda during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Despite being Hungarian by birth Hentzi remained loyal to the Austrian Habsburgs, defending Buda Castle against the sieging Hungarian forces. He rejected appeals to his national identity and ultimately died in combat when the castle was stormed in 1849.
