The phenomenon of illegitimate births interests both sociologists and demographers. For sociologists, this is human activity that can be understood only by means of a thorough examination of the society and its norms that determine the action of the individual. For demographers, the understanding of illegitimate fertility may be a tool for understanding the underlying factors of fertility as a whole. Relatively little has been written on this subject in Hungary, however. The present study describes illegitimacy in Hungary between 1880 and 1910 in terms of trends and regional patterns, and seeks to find the reasons for variation in time and space. The trends are shown in their historical context, and are compared with trends of illegitimacy in Europe. The regional differences are analyzed using the Princeton indices, and it is concluded that although there is a consistent pattern that is evidently related to socio-economic differences between regions, no single factor explains the pattern
