The first recorded swearing in Hungarian can be found in the Chronicon Dubnicense (original title Cronica de gestis Hungarorum). The chronicle was written in the year 1479, and it is mostly a copy and compilation of earlier chronicles, all in Latin. So the relevant part of the chronicle was originally written in the second half of the 14th century and its about the military expeditions of our king Louis the Great. The chronicle describes that in the year 1355 the Hungarians fought a horrible battle with Swabian Germans, but when the Hungarians shouted „holy kings help us („Sancti reges adiuuate nos”), they finally won. After the Hungarians won they recieved the command that they have to kill all German soldiers, no prisoners. So the chronicle records that the Hungarians chopped off the hands and the heads of the Germans and they said: „ Wezteg kwrwanewfya zaros nemeth; iwttatok werenkewth, ma yzzywk thy wertheketh ” With modern Hungarian orthography „ Veszteg kurvanõfia szaros német; ittátok vérünket, ma isszuk ti véreteket.” Only this sentence was written in Hungarian in the text and it literally means: „ Doomed son of a bi*tch shi*tty German(s); you drank our blood, today we drink your blood.” Here you can find the text in the Chronicon Dubnicense kt.lib.pte.hu/cgi-bin/kt.cgi?konyvtar/kt06030304/0_0_3_pg_167.html
