  Michiel de Ruyter is a Dutch national hero. He is respected in Hungary as the liberator of
  the Protestant galley slaves. Since 1895, his name can also be read on the memorial behind
  the Great Church of Debrecen. De Ruyter has appeared in various forms in Hungarian
  memory during the centuries: either as a fearless soldier, a faithful Christian or as a symbol
  of reconciliation. His memory keeps changing but his spirit keeps living on in Hungarian
  memory.
