18.1.1792 Huniades.

John Huniades was a Hungarian general who defeated the Turks and died in 1456. Godwin mentioned him in St Leon. By the time he wrote St Leon he was reading the 12 volume 1797 edition of Gibbon's Decline and Fall (te0884) but Gibbon was the most likely source of information on Huniades so he may have referred to an earlier edition at this point
