Baross Gábor

Noble Gábor Baross de Bellus was a Hungarian statesman in Hungarian parliament, was born at Barossháza now Pružina near Trencsén. He was for a time one of the professors there under Cardinal Kolos Vaszary. After acquiring considerable local reputation as chief notary of his county, he entered parliament in 1875, where he apparently gained a nickname "Slovak blackman", due to his darker tanned complexity. He at once attached himself to Kálmán Tisza and remained faithful to his chief even after the Bosnian occupation had alienated so many of the supporters of the prime minister.
