Arisztid Dessewffy ( 2 July 1802, in Csákány (present-day Čakanovce, Slovakia) – 6 October 1849, in Arad) was a honvéd general in the Hungarian Army.
He was executed for his part in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, and is considered one of the 13 Martyrs of Arad. He commanded 100,000 men against Russian troops and surrendered because of the massive size of the encroaching Russian army. By doing so, he spared his men. On the night of his execution, he was said to be sleeping, with no anxiety about his impending death. He was executed around 4 AM by firing squad, along with two others. The Prince of Liechtenstein
intervened at the last minute to spare the three from hanging, which was considered public humiliation.
