Bak Edited by Baläzs Nagy and Marcell Sebök ,,,~ ~., CEUPRESS 4!~ Central European University Press Budapest TRANSCONTINENTAL TRADE FROM EAST,CENTRAL EUROPE TO WESTERN EUROPE (FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH CENTURIES) Baläzs Nagy In 1335, a rare and almost unique event happened in the history of medieval Europe, Three monarchs of East-Central Europe assembled for a "royal summit" in Viscgräd, not far from Buda, in Hungary. At this meeting the most influential figures of four- teenth-century East-Central Europe were called together, and the most important political, dynastic, and economic questions were discussed. Charles Robert of Anjou. the king of Hungary, welcomed his Polish and Bohemian colleagues Casimir III and John of Luxemburg. The latter was accompanied by his son and heir, Charles, the Moravian margrave and the future emperor Charles IV.' In the 1330s, the three countries and the whole of East-Central Europe were enter- ing a dynamic period of growth. Bohemia had been under the rule of the Luxemburg dynasty since 1310. John of Luxemburg (1310-46) had seized the throne after the extinction of the national dy- nasty of the Przemyslids. Previously Wenceslas 11(1278-1305) had made an attempt to unite the countries of East-Central Europe under the rule of his dynasty. His son, Wenceslas Ill, also inherited the Hungarian and Polish crowns in addition to the Bohemian crown, but due to his premature death in 1306 the union broke down. Due to a lack of capable monarchs, Poland and Hungary were in political disarray in the first years of the fourteenth century. The Polish kingdom was divided into numerous independent duchies, and some parts of it were under Bohemian control. This was the situation when Wenceslas 11was elected and crowned as king of Poland in 1300. His death was followed by the crowning of Wladislaw l Lokietek (1:~06-:~:~). He and his son Casimir III (1333-70), who succeeded him, ruled Poland in the next six decades and led the country to its medieval flourishing. Wladislaw united the dismembered territories of Poland and his son acquired the duchies of Halicz and Vladimir, and later on Masovia. Both of them were forced to acknowledge the consolidating power of the Teutonic Order in Pornerania and the Baltic area. The last king of the ArpAd dynasty, the ruling family of Hungary for over three hundred years, died in 1301, and the country thereafter fell into political chaos. Wenceslas Ill, the heir of the Bohemian crown, was elected as Hungarian king, but the shortness of his reign did not allow time for a solution to the problem. The situa- tion was resolved in 1308 with the election of Charles Robert of Anjou (1308-42). lie restored the royal power and gradually brought the whole territory of the country under his administration. The royal finances were soon reorganized and income to the treasury significantly increased. Under the rule of John of Bohemia and his successor, Charles IV (1346-78), Bo- hemia entered its medieval golden age. Charles intended to make Bohemia and Pra- 348 BALAzs NAGY gue the center of his empire. He acquired Brandenburg as a new addition to his "Hausmacht." 2 The prosperity of East-Central Europe in the fourteenth century was determined by political and economic realities. In respect of politics, it is important to realize that these countries were connected by dynastic and political alliances. Until the Hussite wars there were no major military conflicts in this region, so East-Central Europe could guarantee peace and safety for economic activity. Due to family relations again, Louis of Hungary (1342-82) became the king of Po- land after the death of his uncle, Casimir, in 1370. This was the next attempt in this century to unite particular countries in East-Central Europe into an empire, this time under the rule of the Anjou dynasty. But this scheme failed as well. Louis bequeathed his empire to his two daughters, Mary inheriting Hungary, Hedwig (Jadwiga) Poland, and so the "empire" was divided. Both of them married descendants of well-known dynasties who were looking forward to a promising political career, Sigismund of Luxemburg and Jagiello of Lithuania.' Thus the plans for the unification of Poland and Hungary under the rule of the Anjou family failed to materialize. In economic terms, a common factor uniting Bohemia and Hungary was the in- crease in the mining of silver and gold. The discovery of silver mines in Bohemia (at Jihlava [Iglau] and later in Kutnä Hora [Kuttenberg]) and the gold mines in the northern parts of Hungary (present-day Slovakia) resulted in an exceptional concen- tration of financial power in East-Central Europe. One example will suffice. In 1344, the queen mother of Hungary, Elizabeth, vis- ited Naples to help with the family problems of her son Andrew. Her other son, King Louis of Hungary, provided Elizabeth with the necessary allowance. This amounted to 27,000 marks of pure silver and 17,000 marks of pure gold. Louis later sent his mother another 4,000 marks of gold. So the queen mother had at her disposal ap- proximately 5,250 kilograms of gold and 6,750 kilograms of silver." According to reliable estimates, the yearly gold production of Hungary in the middle of the four- teenth century was between 2,000 and 2,500 kilograms, the highest in Europe. Hun- garian gold production was the most significant in this period, disregarding the gold mining in Africa, and possibly reached fifty percent of world production.> At the Visegräd summit the three kings made every effort to settle the existing po- litical conflicts among their countries. Casimir III surrendered Silesia to John, the Bohemian king, who had previously conquered parts of it. John in return recognized the rule of Casimir in Poland and resigned his claim to the Polish throne. Charles Robert, the Hungarian king, secured the right of his son, Louis, to inherit the Polish throne. The conflict between Poland and the Teutonic Knights was also discussed. However, the most important matters discussed were problems relating to the economic, and above all the commercial, connections among the countries. The three kings were allied against the staple regulations in Vienna. This city had received a privilege in 1312 which obliged foreign merchants travelling through Austria to stop there and offer their goods for sale. Before 1312, the main commercial routes from Germany to East-Central Europe led through Vienna. The Luxemburgs, the Bohemian royal family of that time, were hostile to the Habsburgs. Thus they made every effort to find allies and to create a league against the monopoly of Vienna. A determined and well-considered political program commenced thereafter to re- organize the economic map of East-Central Europe. It was carried out by way of royal TRANSCONTINENTAL TRADE FROM EAST-CENTRAl EUROPE TO WESTERN EUROPE 349 decisions and privileges and by mutual agreements between the main commercial cities as well. In the year following the Visegräd summit a treaty was drawn up at a meeting between Charles Robert and John of Luxemburg. They fixed the preferred line of the main commercial route connecting Hungary and Moravia and set limits on the customs dues. The agreement was prepared on the basis of the evidence of the citizens of Brno (Brünn) and Trnava (Nagyszombat), the two main towns en route. The customs levied in these cities on the goods of merchants were much more favor- able to those cities than to cities on the other routes.s The kings' intention had be- come obvious from the privilege of 1336 which also favored foreign merchants, espe- cially those coming from Bohemia.' But it was not only a single action. John, the king of Bohemia, informed the city of Frankfurt that the "Stapelrecht" (right of sta- ple), up to that time in Vienna, was being transferred to Brno. He ordered every mer- chant coming from Austria, Hungary, and Poland to bring their goods to Brno, and promised to protect them in his country.! The traditional route of western trade ran principally from the South-Cerman me- tropolis of Nuremberg in the valley of the Danube towards East-Central Europe, via Regensburg, Passau, Vienna, Bratislava (PozsonyjPreßburg) and Buda. In the 1330s, the Bohemian, Hungarian, and Polish rulers tried to develop an alternative northern route, through Prague, Brno, Trnava, Esztergom, and Buda. It bypassed Vienna and connected Hungary and Bohemia, and also made trade with Poland easier. The archbishop of Esztergom, the owner of significant customs rights on the Da- nube, issued a privilege in 1337 to Bohemian, Swabian and Flemish merchants and to those who came from the Rhineland. He reduced the usual customs dues, since trade coming through Bohemia was very favorable to Hungary. The privilege was supported by the merchants of Mainz, Prague, Nuremberg, and Augsburg, who were obviously concerned in these matters because of their business connections." Many merchants frequented this commercial route, and not only from the neigh- boring countries. According to a privilege of Louis I (1345), the "mercatores de Sancta Colonia et de Ciuitate Hay ac de alijs partibus Reni' (that is, the merchants from Co- logne, Huy and from the Rhineland) obtained the same rights and grants as the mer- chants of Bohemia and Moravia had.t? In the next decades these terms were extended to people coming from Nuremberg and Prague (1357), from Wrodaw (German: Breslau) and Cheb (1365), and from Regensburg (1369).11 The role of the South-German cities, and especially that of Nuremberg, was deci- sive in the commercial connections of East-Central Europe.

VARGA Trinity Hall, Cambridge ABSTRACT. This article examines the succession of Maria Theresia as ‘king’ of Hungary in , by questioning the notion of the ‘king’s two bodies’, an interpretation that has dominated the scholar- ship. It argues that Maria Theresia’s coming to the throne challenged both conceptions of gender and the understanding of kingship in eighteenth-century Hungary. The female body of the new ruler caused anx- ieties which were mitigated by the revival of the medieval rex femineus tradition as well as ancient legal procedures aiming to stress the integrity of royal power when it was granted to a woman. When the Holy Roman Emperor, king of Hungary and Bohemia, Charles VI unexpectedly died in October , his oldest daughter and successor, the twenty-three-year-old Maria Theresia, had to shoulder the burdens of the Habsburg empire and face the ensuing War of Austrian Succession (–), the most severe crisis of the dynasty’s early modern history. The treasury was almost empty, the armies were exhausted, and the dynasty’s debt was high. Amidst these difficulties, it was essential for the young queen to emphasize the legitimacy of her power and secure the support of her lands, among them Hungary.

  • I9.75. the Publication of Two Further Volumes in the Admirable Series
    438 THE SLAVONIC REVIEW history, a catalogue of burdensome dates and events. Rather, as indicated by its inclusion in a series on the evolution of mankind published by the press that produces the journal of intellectual history Revue de synthese historique, it attempts to answer such basic questions as whether the Slavs can be described as a cultural, ethnic or linguistic entity, and what they can be said to have contributed to politics, religion, and culture. Francis Conte, who is now a professor at the Sorbonne, chooses to tackle these problems by starting from origins, defining the early Slav territory before turning to an ethnographic description of the Slavs before and after the coming of Christianity, looking at political and social institutions, the position of women, ritual and folklore as well as religion. Always mindful of historical myth, Professor Conte points out the relevance of factors such as Slav unity, geographical position, religious and social traditions for understanding nationalism and national myth in modern Slav countries. In general, he copes well with the problem of presenting the evolution of the various Slav peoples without undermining his generalizations. This is not a book for the expert, since inevitably in a work of such scope, the author tends to slide over controversial questions without fully covering the literature on a particular topic. It is none the less a book by an expert, whose thematic approach to questions that intrigue anyone interested in the Slavs makes it a good read.

  • King St Ladislas, Chronicles, Legends and Miracles
    Saeculum Christianum t. XXV (2018), s. 140-163 LÁSZLó VESZPRÉMY Budapest KING ST LADISLAS, CHRONICLES, LEGENDS AND mIRACLES The pillars of Hungarian state authority had crystallized at the end of the twelfth century, namely, the cult of the Hungarian saint kings (Stephen, Ladislas and Prince Emeric), especially that of the apostolic king Stephen who organized the Church and state. His cult, traditions, and relics played a crucial role in the development of the Hungarian coronation ritual and rules. The cult of the three kings was canonized on the pattern of the veneration of the three magi in Cologne from the thirteenth century, and it was their legends that came to be included in the Hungarian appendix of the Legenda Aurea1. A spectacular stage in this process was the foundation of the Hungarian chapel by Louis I of Anjou in Aachen in 1367, while relics of the Hungarian royal saints were distributed to the major shrines of pilgrimage in Europe (Rome, Cologne, Bari, etc.). Together with the surviving treasures, they were supplied with liturgical books which acquainted the non-Hungarians with Hungarian history in the special and local interpretation. In Hungary, the national and political implications of the legends of kings contributed to the representation of royal authority and national pride. Various information on King Ladislas (reigned 1077–1095) is available in the chronicles, legends, liturgical lections and prayers2. In some cases, the same motifs occur in all three types of sources. For instance, as to the etymology of the saint’s name, the sources cite a rare Greek rhetorical concept (per peragogen), which was first incorporated in the Chronicle, as the context reveals, and later transferred into the Legend and the liturgical lections.

  • Hungary, Venice and the Ottoman Empire After the Fall of Negroponte
    SREDNJI VIJEK Alexandru Simon ISSN 0353-295X UDK 94(450 Venezia)“14“ RADOVI – Zavod za hrvatsku povijest 94(439)“14“ Vol. 42, Zagreb 2010. 94(497)“14“ Original scientific paper Crusading between the Adriatic and the Black Sea: Hungary, Venice and the Ottoman Empire after the Fall of Negroponte In early 1474, almost ten years had elapsed since Matthias Corvinus’ last and failed major anti-Ottoman attempt. The rather peculiar, given previous and later events and developments, Habsburg-Hunyadi ‘crusader’ plan of 1466-1467 had ended in the Transylvanian rebellion and the ensuing Moldavian campaign of king Matthias. Over the next years, the king focused on his Bohemian and Habsburg problems and claims, while the crusader plans drafted in 1471 were once again basically brought to a halt by another conspiracy against John Hunyadi’s son. Less than three years later, the Ottoman raid on Oradea (Nagyvarad, Grosswardein), as well as Venetian financial offers, compelled the king to re-take anti-Ottoman action. His unsuccessful negotiations with sultan Mehmed II (1472-1473), alongside the aid rendered during the Walachian- Moldavian conflict to Stephen III of Moldavia (1470/1471-1473), also brought back the king to the crusader frontline. While having to restore good connections to pope Sixtus IV, eager, in return to strengthen his Western credit by crusader actions and plans, Matthias Corvinus had also to deal with the Habsburg and Jagellonian attempts to weaken his position and diminish his influence in crusader matters too, in Hungary as well as in the neighboring areas. Newfound sources, namely Italian, Milanese in particular, archival data, provided the grounds for new perspectives on Matthias Corvinus’ Ottoman and anti-Ottoman actions in the mid 1470’.
