Land Reform and the Hungarian Peasantry C. 1700-1848
Land Reform and the Hungarian Peasantry c. 1700-1848 Robert William Benjamin Gray UCL Thesis submitted for a PhD in History, 2009 1 I, Robert William Benjamin Gray, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 25th September 2009 2 Abstract This thesis examines the nature of lord-peasant relations in the final stages of Hungarian seigneurialism, dating roughly from 1700 to the emancipation of the peasantry in 1848. It investigates how the terms of the peasants’ relations with their lords, especially their obligations and the rights to the land they farmed, were established, both through written law and by customary practice. It also examines how the reforms of this period sought to redefine lord-peasant relations and rights to landed property. Under Maria Theresa land reform had been a means to protect the rural status quo and the livelihood of the peasantry: by the end of the 1840s it had become an integral part of a liberal reform movement aiming at the complete overhaul of Hungary’s ‘feudal’ social and economic system. In this period the status of the peasantry underpinned all attempts at reform. All reforms were claimed to be in the best interests of the peasantry, yet none stemmed from the peasants themselves. Conversely, the peasantry had means to voice their grievances through petitions and recourse to the courts, and took the opportunity provided by the reforms to reassert their rights and renegotiate the terms of their relations to their landlords. -
ENDRI AJBALS JULY 2016.Indd
ISSN 2410-3918 Academic Journal of Business, Administration, Law and Social Sciences Vol. 2 No. 2 Acces online at www.iipccl.org IIPCCL Publishing, Tirana-Albania July 2016 Cultural relations between Hungary and Albania during the period of Hu- manism and Renaissance Prof. asoc. Dr. Muhamet Mala University of Pristina – Kosovo Abstract Cultural Hungarian-Albanian relations during the Middle Ages are characterized by a rela- tively poor intensity. Actually, relations between these two countries are more intense in the political field and especially through the partnership between Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg and John Hunyadi. Regarding the origin, the Hungarian culture identity is rather distinct from the Albanian one. Lack of cultural contacts, among others, was conditioned also by the fact that these relations were held under war circumstances and their primary aim was the common defense from Ottoman attacks. Actually, the Albanian medieval culture remained a Mediterranean culture with elements of Byzantine influence in the continental and southern areas. Meanwhile, Hungary belonged to Central Europe, which, even though far away from Mediterranean cultural mainstream, sought to be influenced by this culture, namely by the Renaissance that emanated exactly in the Mediterranean region. It was Matthias Corvinus ef- fort, regarding the cultural influence of the Mediterranean and Renaissance in Hungary but also the fact that Hungary possessed some of the most important towns of the Adriatic coast and particularly Ragusa. This city was the center where cultural relations between Albanian and Hungary started and became intensified in the religious, intellectual and human field. Keywords: Albania ,Hungary, Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu, John Huniadi. Introduction It was Matthias Corvinus greatest merit in respect of the cultural influence of the Mediterranean and the Renaissance in Hungary. -
The Seals of the Monarch Electing Lords from the Beginning of 14401
TÖRTÉNETI TANULMÁNYOK Ádám Novák The Seals of the Monarch Electing Lords from the beginning of 14401 Introduction Following the death of Albert II of Germany on 27 October 1439, the Hungarian Kingdom was left without a crowned head yet again in a short period of time. In January 1440 the lords held a monarch electing diet. On 18 January 1440 they decided on inviting Władysław III of Poland to the Hungarian throne, and sent envoys to Kraków with an authorizing charter. The story is widely known, but what is less familiar is that thirteen seals were put on the charter which phrased the decision. The names of the authenticators were not included in the text itself, however, the monarch- elector barons and prelates can still be identified by analyzing their seals. All thirteen seals were preserved on the document in a remarkably intact form even after nearly seven hundred years. In the present study I attempt to identify these seals. The work is supplemented by the analysis of two other charters. One of these was issued in Kraków by the monarch electing envoys on 9 March 1440, and the other was released three days later in Buda, in which the issuers of the diploma urge the coming of King Ulászló I (Władysław III) to Hungary. Besides the fact that the seals on the three charters can be linked to those politicians who played a determining role in the subsequent infighting, we can also draw a picture of the power relations prior to the outburst of the later conflict. In addition to the description of the seals I also assembled a chronological dataset for the political history of 1439–1440, which may be a baseline for a better, 1 The research was financed by the Project of the National Research, Development and Innovation Office “The Hungarian Military in medieval Europe (1301–1437)” (NKFIH K 131711) at the University of Debrecen. -

Between Emancipation and Antisemitism: Jewish Presence in Parliamentary Politics in Hungary 1867–1884
BETWEEN EMANCIPATION AND ANTISEMITISM: JEWISH PRESENCE IN PARLIAMENTARY POLITICS IN HUNGARY 1867–1884 Árpád Welker THE PERIOD UNDER STUDY The early 1880s were both difficult and extraordinary from the point of view of Hungarian Jewry. Political antisemitism had been present for half a decade, but it became violent and influential during these years, though only for these years. In other words, this was a time of crisis within the ‘Golden Era’ of the Hungarian Jewry, as some researchers of Hungarian Jews call the period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy 1867–1918. [1] Besides antisemitism ‘normal’ political debate took place in parliament simultaneously, namely that related to the bill on Jewish–Christian marriages, which was also decisive from a Jewish point of view. The ‘antisemitic wave’ started with the attempts to establish a nation-wide movement, the Central Association of Non-Jewish Hungarians, following the example of Wilhelm Marr’s Antisemitenliga in Germany. [2] This period of virulent antisemitic activity culminated in the events related to the infamous Tiszaeszlár blood libel case, including a series of riots threatening the safety of Jews in numerous counties, and the foundation of the National Antisemitic Party in 1883. After the clear defeat of the antisemites in the elections of 1884, antisemitism practically became insignificant. [3] It took ten years until a political party incorporated antisemitism in its programme again, but the antisemitism of the Catholic People’s Party was ‘less virulent’, [4] and neither their only nor even their main goal. THE ‘DOUBLE PROGRAMME OF EMANCIPATION AND ASSIMILATION’ András Kovács in an article about the relationship between politics and Hungarian Jews argues that ‘independent Jewish politics has no tradition in the history of Hungarian Jewry’. -
Mining Town Privileges in Angevin Hungary*

It also looks at the extent to which these privileges diverged from those granted to other towns, and how all this led to the development of the mining town as a distinct class of towns. The question itself is interesting not only with respect to urban history, but also because it brings us closer to an understanding of why these towns acted jointly in defense of their interests, and how all this led to the formation of leagues of mining towns, which by the fifteenth century were organizing themselves on a territorial basis. After a detailed examination of the legal, ecclesiastical and economic privileges the study has come to the conclusion that in the area of both legal and economic privileges significant differences and divergences can be discerned in comparison to privileges bestowed on other towns. The reason for the differences naturally is to be sought in mining, and in the need to secure the royal revenue stemming from it. From a legal standpoint, this shows up not only in the appearance of offices linked to mining, but also in the emergence of comites or rectores appointed by the king to head the mining towns. In discussing economic privileges it may be observed that, whereas other towns were motivated primarily by a desire to obtain commercial privileges (e.g., right to hold markets, exemption from tolls), mining towns were moved by the need to secure the rights connected to mining. -

The editors were: Dr. Joseph Balogh, Budapest, Hungary, Owen Rutter, London, England and Francis Deak, New York, USA. In 1944 the Society of the Hungarian Quarterly was dissolved, and in 1945-46 its members imprisoned or deported into Russia. Years later the communist government in Budapest started the NEW HUNGARIAN QUARTERLY, a propaganda publication, which in no way can be regarded as the legal successor of the original Hungarian Quarterly. Forty years after the occupation of Hungary by the armies of the Soviet Union, which occupation is still demonstrated by the presence of Soviet troops on Hungarian soil, members of the Hungarian exile in the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe decided to pick up the fallen banner, of ‘‘peace, justice and a better future through knowledge and understanding,” and republish the Hungarian Quarterly in the USA.
