Buda, Medieval Capital of Hungary chapter 15 Buda, Medieval Capital of Hungary András Kubinyi* There is an enormous literature on the ‘capital city question’. The distinct but overlapping concept of the ‘royal seat’ or residence has also attracted much attention in the last decade and a half.1 Hungarian historians have recently shown capital-city characteristics to have been concentrated in an area known as the “center of the realm” (medium regni) in the period following the founda- tion of the state. These characteristics were shared among the three towns at the edge of that area: Esztergom, Székesfehérvár and Óbuda. The center subse- quently transferred from Óbuda to Buda, but some capital functions remained in the other two cities: the archbishop of Esztergom was Hungary’s primate and legatus natus in the late medieval period, and Székesfehérvár remained the city of coronation and royal burial.2 International historians have also recognized the significance of the Hun- garian medium regni.3 Buda finally became the residence of the king only Translated by Alan Campbell * András Kubinyi (1929–2007) was and will always remain one of the most influential research- ers of medieval Buda (see the introductory chapter of the present volume). This article is a translation of one of his last studies dedicated to this city’s past: “Buda, Magyarország középkori fővárosa,” Tanulmányok Budapest Múltjából 29 (2001) 11–22 [reprinted in Kubinyi, Tanulmá nyok, ii, pp. 538–549]. 1 A considerable part of the previous scholarship is referred to, and the problem is well pre- sented in Evamaria Engel and Karen Lambrecht, “Hauptstadt – Residenz – Residenzstadt – Metropole – Zentraler Ort. Probleme ihrer Definition und Charakterisierung,” in Metropolen im Wandel. Zentralität in Ostmitteleuropa an der Wende vom Mittelalter zur Neuzeit, eds Eva- maria Engel, Karen Lambrecht and Hanna Nogossek (Berlin: Akademie Verlag, 1995), pp. 11–31. 2 The notion of medium regni was identified by Bernát L. Kumorovitz, “Buda (és Pest) ‘fővárossá’ alakulásának kezdetei,” [The beginnings of the formation of Buda (and Pest) as ‘capital’] Tanulmányok Budapest Múltjából 18 (1971), pp. 7–57.

Early fourteenth-century sources undoubtedly identify Buda as a royal seat. In 1308, the Anonymi Descriptio Europae Orientalis described Buda as the seat of the Hungarian kingdom and largest city.5 In the same year, King Charles i wrote that he had transferred governance of the kingdom to Buda and taken up residence in the city together with his prelates and barons.6 These two items of information do not have exactly the same meaning. The Descriptio calls Buda the “seat of the realm”, rather than sedes regis or regia, i.e. “the seat of the king”. There is also a problem with the expression civitas principalis, which may seem to correspond to “capital city”, but actually denotes a category, as is clear from an urban decree of 1405 which mentions the civitates principaliores, i.e. the “more principal cities.”7 The same category existed in Poland, whose develop- ment was similar to Hungary’s. Indeed, Polish historians have identified six main cities denoted as civitates principaliores in the late Middle Ages.8 Further complicating the issue is a Hungarian-language source from the first half of the sixteenth century: “Szeged is a large city in Hungary; what is more, it is the king’s capital city [fő várasa].”9 Since Szeged was never the king’s here pp. 41–42; Winfried Eberhard, “Metropolenbildung im östlichen Mitteleuropa.

Zentralität in Ostmitteleuropa an der Wende vom Mittelalter zur Neuzeit, eds Evamaria Engel, Karen Lambrecht and Hanna Nogossek (Berlin: Akademie Verlag, 1995), pp. 277–282, here p. 281. 4 The question has a long historiography. Cf. Albert Gárdonyi, “Magyarország középkori fővárosa,” [The medieval capital of Hungary] Századok 78 (1944), pp. 219–231.

  • The Lexicon of Buda. a Glimpse Into the Beginnings of Mainstream Romanian Lexicography
    The Lexicon of Buda. A Glimpse into the Beginnings of Mainstream Romanian Lexicography Bogdan Harhata, Maria Aldea, Lilla Marta Vremir & Daniel-Corneliu Leucuta Keywords: Romanian lexicography, Transylvania, academic, tradition. Abstract This paper is the result of a project aimed to e-ready a dictionary dating back to 1825, namely the Lexicon of Buda (1825) that is often referred to as the starting point of Romanian modern lexicography. The expressed aim of this paper is to illustrate that The Lexicon of Buda anticipates a log tradition in the academic Romanian lexicography. In order to provide a better understanding of why this lexicon holds its place among lexicographers and linguists, there is a brief description of the status of Romanian lexicography previous to 1800, followed by a short historical development. The second part illustrates the technical novelties inherited by Romanian Academy's lexicographic works, and shows that what this lexicon and the academic dictionaries have in common are the central position in the Romanian cultural establishment and the fact that they are normative and aim to unify the linguistic norm of Romanian. 1. Why the Lexicon? This paper is the result of a project that attempts to e-ready a Romanian dictionary dating back to 1825, namely the Lesicon românesc-lătinesc-unguresc-nemțesc care de mai mulți autori, în cursul a trizeci și mai multor ani s-au lucrat seu Lexicon Valachico-Latino- Hungarico-Germanicum, quod a pluribus auctoribus decursu triginta et amplius annorum elaboratum est [Romanian-Latin-Hungarian-German Lexicon, elaborated by thirty authors over more than thirty years] (LB). According to Romanian linguist and philologist Lazăr 2 Șăineanu, author himself of a dictionary of Romanian language largely disseminated (ȘDU), this lexicon marks the birth of modern Romanian lexicography; see Șăineanu (1982: 184).

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • Villas of Wealth: a Historical Perspective on New Residences in Post-Socialist Hungary
    ANDRE P. CZEGLEDY University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Villas of Wealth: A Historical Perspective on New Residences in Post-Socialist Hungary THE CONTEMPORARY INTEREST in large-scale residential villas has found new favor among the economic elite of Hungary. Having chosen to express their social position in the material and aesthetic terms of their existence, do the architectural conventions of the elite now reflect indigenous or foreign tastes and traditions? This paper investigates how the construction of such sumptuous residences draws on a variety of sources for inspiration mirroring both the new potentials and the new disparities generated in post-socialist, central eastern Europe today. [Architecture, urban history, elite, post- socialist, Hungary] OMING UNDER THE COLLOQUIAL term of villa, the new luxury residences along Strawberry Street, Quince Street and C many of the other thoroughfares in District XI of Budapest are a stark contrast to the houses and residential complexes beside them. From their private, off-road parking spaces to their manicured lawns and neat mansard roofs, from the expensive, foreign materials used in their construction to the impressive size of their lots and frontage, no passerby can mistake the wealth and prestige which they proclaim from behind a variety of discrete half-wall fences and immaculately clipped topiary. Situated in the quiet suburb of Gazdagret off the western bank of the Danube river, these houses resemble neither the modest bungalow homes of the original neighborhood nor the eleven-story concrete apartment buildings of the Soviet-inspired housing estate built directly to the south. In a way which finds recurrent parallel throughout nearby urban districts nestled amidst the Buda hills of the capital city, the construction of such sumptuous residences side-by-side with their neighbors mirrors both the new potentials and the new disparities being generated in post- socialist central eastern Europe today.

  • We Put the Question, Is It Possible That These Houses of the Late Gothic
    "AMERICAN HO'.)SES" IN THE PROVINCES OF HUNGARY Todays.. Hungarian architecture deals a lot with the buildings of the past two centuries. Recent Research work has found not one "interesting sur- prise. Earlier the general view was that architectural novelties is European circles, with few exceptions, reached Hungary by the inter- mediate of Austria and Germany. Today 'vVe kno'vV that besides the tra- ditional continental connections the cultu res of farther ca.Jntries has a significant influence on the architectu re of Hungary between the nine- teenth and twentieth centu ry . For example the early Classicist architecture was greatly influ- enced by the representitives of the French Revolutionary Classicism . In the spanning of Gothic Revival, Englands.. architecture had the lead- ing role. This style was favoured by the aristocracy of the country who were immensely interested in England at the time, and by this way too showed sympathy. The first gothic-styled castle built in Hungary ln the first part of the 1840"' (Oroszvar, 1841-44, F. Seer) shows strong English effect. The aristocratic tendency of Gothic Revival found fol- lowers in the United States. We know howfar that besides the large- scale, picturesque mass of Gothic Revi.val styled buildings, in the United States a more popular variation is found -in the "Gothic Cot- tage" or "Large Country House" being a simpler, more compact ad~ptation. The " cottage style" of the Gothic Revival castles appear in Hungarian architecture is about the 1850"'s (Miklbspuszta, Sabot). These buildings"' main characteristics are the highroofed general mass and the sprandreled crosswings perpendicular to them.

  • Hungarian Nationalist Narratives and Public Memory of Francis Joseph
    Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Hungarian Nationalist Narratives and Public Memory of Francis Joseph Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Thomas Andrew Szigeti, B.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2015 Thesis Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor David Hoffman Jessie Labov Copyright by Thomas Andrew Szigeti 2015 Abstract This thesis explores nationalist narratives and public memory of Francis Joseph and the Habsburg era in Hungary. In this work, Budapest’s Liberty Bridge serves as a lens and reference point of sorts in my examination of nationalist historical narratives and public memory of Francis Joseph and the era of the Dual Monarchy in Hungary. In particular, this paper will trace the way in which ruling governments have attempted to impose their own versions of history onto the public spaces of Budapest and into the minds of their citizens. Beginning with the years following the 1848 revolution, this thesis looks at changes in the memory of Francis Joseph during the Dual Monarchy, the Horthy era, and the Socialist era, ending with a discussion of Francis Joseph in modern Hungarian society. In Budapest, the reason that the Liberty Bridge never regained its pre-Socialist era name is due to a lack of popular positive memory of Francis Joseph, in contrast to several other important Hungarian historical figures. In the contested field of Hungarian national narrative the memory of Francis Joseph never truly found its place; for while he did gain a significant degree of popularity in the later decades of his reign, Hungary’s longest-ruling monarch never gained a place in the country’s imagination.

  • The Buda Castle Retreat on Cultural Observatories in Europe the Budapest Observatory, January 2007
    The Buda Castle Retreat on Cultural Observatories in Europe The Budapest Observatory, January 2007 The Buda Castle Retreat on Cultural Observatories in Europe Buda Castle, Budapest, November 24-25, 2006 Report by Péter Inkei1 Cultural observatories in Europe – for some, the phenomenon is more than familiar. Mark Schuster spoke of their „dramatic proliferation” already in 2002.2 On the other hand, even today, one often meets people – not just laymen but also from the cultural sector – who feel unsure about the term. In fact, both of these conditions justified the string of conferences and workshops in 2006, all of them aiming to come to grips with the phenomenon.3 Once there are so many cultural observatories, we should find out at last what exactly they are (and what they are not). On the other hand, since even the oldest cultural observatories are quite young (in many parts of Europe still nonexistent), one should not wonder why the uninitiated majority requires explanation about the institution. The Buda Castle Retreat was not preceded by a specific mapping of cultural observatories in Europe. Participants were referred to the numerous lists and the few reviews of (European) observatories. Several of the earlier reviews of cultural observatories were available for consultation during the workshop: among others, the Bilbao Reader and papers to the Belfast workshop, as well as a few publications in other than English (see the Annex at the end). Note on the retreat formula The format of the workshop was suggested by Lidia Varbanova, editor in chief and website manager of the LabforCulture.

  • Cultural Identity Change of a Royal Hungarian Town, Székesfehérvár, in The18th and 19Th Century Péter SZABÓ
    CENTRAL EUROPEAN PAPERS 2013 / I / 2 7 Cultural identity change of a royal Hungarian town, Székesfehérvár, in the18th and 19th century Péter SZABÓ János Kodolányi University of Applied Sciences, Székesfehérvár, Budapest, Fürdő utca 1., 8000 Székesfehérvár, Hungary e-mail: [email protected] One of Hungary’s oldest historic cities is Székesfehérvár. Never the country’s exclusive cap- ital, it has always been among its most significant towns throughout history. This was a royal place where the crown jewels were kept and guarded, and where forty kings and fifty queens were crowned in the cathedral, now in ruins. The first Hungarian king, István (Ste- phen) I was also buried here, as well as about half of all the country’s kings reigning after Könyves Kálmán (‘Kálmán the Bookman’). The prosperity of the city appears in its riches and privileges: the royal wine cellar, the right to have fairs and the right of coinage. Its merchants got as far as Jerusalem. The city lost its previous significance after King Mátyás’s (Matthias) death and was soon under Turkish rule. It was invaded in 1543 by the troops of Suleiman II. In the battle, Con- stable György Varkocs was killed in front of the city gates. Bay Ahmed raided and looted the royal tombs and churches. Yet the worst of its decay came in 1601, after Commander Mercoeur’s siege when the Habsburg Empire’s paid troops tore its walls halfway down. The walls were strengthened in vain and the Turks recaptured the city, by then reduced to a military stronghold, in 1602.
