After the Hungarian army was destroyed by the Ottomans at Mohács in 1526 the kingdom broke into three and the frontier crept north. The Tribeč villages were never Ottoman territory, but they were within reach of raiding parties, and the century and a half that followed is remembered here as a time of alarms, hiding places and requisitions rather than of battles. And yet in 1647, in the middle of all that, a school is mentioned in the village for the first time — a reminder that ordinary life did not stop while the frontier moved.Po tom, čo osmanské vojsko roku 1526 pri Moháči zničilo uhorskú armádu, sa kráľovstvo rozpadlo na tri časti a hranica sa posúvala na sever. Tribečské dediny nikdy neboli osmanským územím, ale boli na dosah nájazdom, a to poldruha storočia sa tu pamätá skôr ako čas poplachov, úkrytov a rekvirovania než ako čas bitiek. A predsa sa práve uprostred toho, v roku 1647, prvý raz spomína v obci škola – dôkaz, že bežný život sa nezastavil, hoci sa hranica hýbala.
