Óbarok
Óbarok and Nagyegyháza villages – until the recent past – never been individual administrative unit. Due to their geographical location and the common past, the population of the villages should be considered together as one entity. Óbarok ( Nagyegyháza) is a village in the region Central Transdanubia, situated on the North of Fejér county, 50 km from Székesfehérvár, in Hungary. The village is lying between the Gerecse and Vértes mountains, in the Váli Valley ( Váli völgy). Óbarok was first mentioned in historical records in 1365, while Nagyegyháza (formerly known as Németegyháza) was mentioned later in 1703, despite being treated a more important settlement by historians. Their opinion is supported by a temple ruin from the Árpád Era (between 1000-1300 AD). In the Middle Ages, the two villages were mentioned as "puszta", which is an important unit of the agriculture. During various attacks by the Turkey and Tartar armies on Hungary the settlem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Váli Völgy
In Norse mythology, Váli (Old Norse: ) is a God and the son of the god Odin and the giantess Rindr. Váli has numerous brothers including Thor, Baldr, and Víðarr. He was born for the sole purpose of avenging Baldr, and does this by killing Höðr, who was an unwitting participant, and binding Loki with the entrails of his son Narfi. Váli grew to full adulthood within one day of his birth, and slew Höðr before going on to Loki. He is prophesied to survive Ragnarök. Longstanding transcription error Váli is referred to as the son of Loki, though this is argued by some historians to be an early transcription error. The mistake arises from a single passage in ''Gylfaginning'' containing the phrase "''Then were taken Loki's sons, Váli and Nari''". However, ''Gylfaginning'' describes Váli as the son of ''Odin'' in two other instances. All other documents found that date from this time refer to Váli only as Odin's son, with the exception of more recent copies of the potenti ...
