Hungarian Song Contest 2

After the first edition's victory Sopron will be the host city for the second edition of Hungarian Song Contest.

Sopron (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈʃopron]; German: Ödenburg, Slovene: Šopron) is a city in Hungary on the Austrianborder, near the Lake Neusiedl/Lake Fertő.

When the area that is today Western Hungary was a province of the Roman Empire, a city calledScarbantia stood here. Its forum was located where the main square of Sopron can be found today.

During the Migration Period, Scarbantia was believed to be deserted. By the time Hungariansarrived in the area, it was in ruins. In the 9th–11th centuries, Hungarians strengthened the old Roman city walls and built a castle. The town was named in Hungarian after a castle steward named Suprun. In 1153, it was mentioned as an important town.

In 1273, King Otakar II of Bohemia occupied the castle. Even though he took the children of Sopron's nobility with him as hostages, the city opened its gates when the armies of KingLadislaus IV of Hungary arrived. The king rewarded Sopron by elevating it to the rank of free royal town.
