Mezokoveso isa small town in northeastern Hungary. The area has been inhabited since the Great Migration. Historians believe that it is likely that the first Hungarian settlement was formed here shortly after the conquest of Hungary. It is likely that the village was subsequently destroyed during the Mongol invasion. The town was occupied by the Turks (1544). The Castle of Eger was under siege by the Turks (1552). Mezőkövesd was completely destroyed agin. Though it was rebuilt, after the battle in the nearby village of Mezőkeresztes, it was destroyed again (1596). It wasn't rebuilt for almost 100 years. Mezőkövesd was aroyal estate (intil 1784). In that year the town freed itself from its feudal obligations and the town began to porosper. The railway line reached the town (1860). We see historic tradition being observed into the 20th century. A photograph shows mothers formalizing a marriage contract (1934). The brightly costumes marriage couple is with them looking away.
