Biography

Little is known about Sebestyén's childhood. He attended various schools and studied Latin, and excelled at sheet music. He joined the military service in 1535 in 1539 was wounded in a battle, which renderd him ineligible for further military service. In 1541, when Turks invaded, it made a big impression on him. He became a political poet at this time; his works expressing the need to resist the Turks.

Sebestyén started a family, and visited parliament and scenes of battles, and wrote verses about these. He then began to put his poems to music and performed them to the accompaniment of a lute. His songs became recognized as an important chroniclization of the events of the day by Nádasdy Tamás in 1545, who recommended to Parliament that this become a public post for Sebestyén. From 1546 to 1551 there was a general period of peace, but in 1552 a new Turkish military campaign began, and this was again chronicled by Sebestyén. In 1553, he was formally recognized by the king as a chronicler who processed the historical events of his age in a poem form, and was conferred the patent of nobility. The collected edition of his works was published in 1554. He travelled to Translyvania for a while and returned in 1555, but died shortly thereafter.
