- Born at Nádudvar in 1852, Endrédy established a fencing school in Budapest in 1888. The 1900 games were his only Olympics. In 1915 he became the commander of the Royal Hungarian Honvéd during World War I. He died at Budapest in 1929 aged 76.[1]
- Lécuyer withdrew after the first round, to be replaced by Todoresku. It can therefore be inferred that Todoresku was the fifth-place fencer in the same preliminary pool as Lécuyer.
