The present study deals with Palatine P. Palffy´s conflict with the Archbishop of Esztergom Georgius Lippay in the years 1646 – 1653. The author used archive materials from the Trautmansdorf family archive and from the memorandum written by P. Palffy to the Emperor Ferdinand III. in 1650. As there are no archive documents, J. Lippay´s attitude to P. Palffy is not known. P. Palffy and J. Lippay were leaders of political groups that were against each other and their conflicts took place in the Hungarian parliament and at gatherings of the Hungarian nobility. The Vienna court was a significant place where these two representatives had their quarrels. The conflict had a negative influence of the 17th century Hungary. Because of Rákoczy´s expeditions and Turkish attacks, Hungary faced an economic crisis, that required a unified approach from the Hungarian representatives, but the situation was different.
