Los 29 capítulos que componen la obra pueden dividirse entres grandes bloques, todos ellos interconectados entre sí. Así, el primero estaría formadopor aquellos capítulo…
The Slavs, Avars, and Hungarians
From the late fourth century onwards, Christendom was assailed by a succession of invaders. The first wave consisted of Germanic tribes – Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and Vandals – and their irruptions brought down the West Roman Empire. During the sixth century, Slavonic groups emerged in the territory north of the Danube that the Germanic tribes had evacuated and began incursions into the South-East European lands of the Byzantine empire. In the late…

The Government of Medieval Buda
The Government of Medieval Buda At first sight, the government of medieval Buda resembles arrangements in most Central European cities. The city was founded in the late 1240s in what appears to be an example of Siedlungsverlegung, whereby the privilege of self-government previously granted to Pest was, along with Pest's seal and arms, conferred on the new city set on the Buda Hill. 1 Buda's origin in the earlier Pest settlement is reflected in it…
Medieval Buda in Context
This paper describes the Royal Forest of Pilis in the Middle Ages. It concludes that the western European institution of Royal Forests had its parallel in Hungary in the 13th century, but later on developments differed. Based on settlement history, medieval woodland cover was probably similar to that of today, and this continuity plays an important part in the region being part of a National Park
Judicial Organization and Decision Making in Old Hungary
Some older accounts of Hungarian judicial organization in the period before 1848 have emphasized the conservatism of the judges, their interest in maintaining noble hegemony and their participation in the peasantry's oppression. Most studies have, however, neglected the role of the kingdom's judges, seeing them as ‘expert clerks, whose task it was to fit the case to the law in syllogistic fashion. This article shows that Hungary's judicial organi…
In the Shadow of Hitler
Many important right-wing political figures from the late nineteenth century and inter-war period have been over-shadowed in history by Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Rebecca Haynes here assesses the careers of seventeen of the most important figures in right-wing politics in Central and Eastern Europe during this period and reveals the significance of leaders whose impact has been overlooked. Some of these were Nazi-sympathisers; others rejected…

The Prologue to Werbőczy's Tripartitum and its Sources
Stephen Werbőczy's collection of Hungarian customary law was presented to the Hungarian diet in 1514 and printed three years later in Vienna. The three main parts of the Tripartitum are largely devoted to a discussion of substantive and procedural law. They are prefaced by a 5000-word Prologue in which the author treats upon theoretical matters pertaining to the law, justice and the relationship between statute and custom. In the course of the Pr…

Warranty and Surety in Medieval Hungarian Land Law
Substantial restrictions existed in medieval Hungarian law with respect to the alienation of noble land. Since all relatives of a landholder had rights of inheritance to his estate, alienation of the estate or of its parts required their prior consent. The difficulties involved for the individual landholder in obtaining this consent – particularly from distant cousins, minors and the unborn – made it almost impossible to ensure that any transacti…

Austrian Maps of the Bulgarians in the 19th Century
The approach of Austrian cartographers to the geography of the peoples of the Balkans was often informed by larger political considerations and rivalries. The PanSlav [Sbreve]afařik’s map of 1842 put the Bulgarians in spatial preponderance in the Balkans and aided the Bulgarians’ understanding of their national territory. [Sbreve]afařik’s map was challenged by Austrian-German cartographers. By revealing the ethnic diversity of the eastern and cen…
Self-determination and the dissolution of Yugoslavia
The collapse of Yugoslavia provided the first instance of state dissolution in Europe since World War II. International organizations had little to guide their responses to the crisis. In measuring the rival claims of state integrity and of self-determination of peoples, international bodies followed the uti possidetis principle deriving from the period of decolonization. Once the dissolution of the state was pronounced, its internal boundaries a…

Despite winning just one‐third of the votes on the first round of voting, the reformed communists of the Hungarian Socialist Party won a decisive overall majority in Parliament.
