    The three figures symbolize loyalty in 1277, love of home in 1921 and freedom in 1989.

      The text by Agnes Semmelweis sums up the message of the Fountain of Loyalty very well. I don't want to repeat that. I just want to describe a story around the figure of Judge István. II. The Bohemian King Ottokár extended his power to the western parts of Hungary with his military might. He left no army in Sopron, but took the firstborn sons of the city leaders as hostages. In 1277 IV. László came under the city walls with the armies of the rightful Hungarian king. Judge István opened the city gates for him (that's why he is depicted with a key in his hand), thus showing his loyalty even when his son was martyred (this can be symbolized by the sword in his hand).
