For 10 points, name this Hungarian journalist who briefly led his nation during the Revolutions of 1848.
In late life this man became known as the "Hermit of Turin." He promulgated the April Laws and, after defeats such as one to Alfred I of Windisch-Grats at the Battle of Schwechat, he released a letter calling his successor Artur Gorgey a "Judas." This author of the "Cassandra" letter created a stir with Queen Victoria and Lord Palmerston in England with speeches inspired by his love of Shakespeare. Jealously hated by Bertalan Szemare, he was a minister in Count Batthyani's government, and appealed to Archduke Franz Joseph of Austria before taking over his country in a fit of Magyar nationalism.
