Abstracts

EN

The paper is a reconstruction of the life of a Hungarian magnate active at the Hungarian court of Sigismund of Luxembourg, Nicholas of Szecseny and Salgo. It is also a sounder into the life at the court of the King of Hungary. As a result of his eccentric and exceptional character Nicholas of Salgo became a victim of the hatred of some of Sigismund’s courtiers. This fact led to a plot, due to which he was condemned and exiled from Hungary. He spent the last years of his life in Venice. The documents in the Venetian archives concerning Nicholas’ possessions, which were not studied up to now, provide substantial additional evidence on his Venetian exile, his eccentric way of life and exceptional education.
