Whilst not gaining such fame as other Árpad rulers, there is no doubt that Béla III was one of the most capable kings not only among the Árpads but all the Hungarian rulers in general. However, he did not gain a special place in the collective memory of Hungarians compared to other kings, for instance his son Andrew II. The reason for this, despite all his qualities, may lie in his life in the Byzantine Empire, which was perceived negatively by the Latin world, Hungary was a part of. Doubtlessly, however, his education and life at the Byzantine imperial court had the largest influence on his rule. This article is going to examine Béla’s childhood and his path to the Hungarian throne, beginning with his time in Hungary under the rule of Géza II and Stephen III, followed by his life at the Byzantine imperial court, until he was summoned back to Hungary. I will describe the wars between Hungary and Byzantium not only witnessed but also participated by Béla in person during his life in Constantinople. And finally, I will take a brief look into the spiritual life of Byzantium through Béla’s education as well as the Byzantine perception of his personality.

The study presents the state of research into burgher heraldry in Slovakia. It notes the perspectives and possibilities of further research, as well as the importance of the sigillographic study of burgher seals. On the basis of its findings, it demonstrates discoveries on the uses of coats of arms, or more precisely, personal heraldic marks, by burghers in early modern towns of the Hungarian Kingdom (and includes, for instance, the issues of heritability of burgher marks and the ennoblement of burghers from a heraldic point of view).

The study traces the internal dynamic of society in mid-13th century Hungarian kingdom by means of prosopographical analysis of the career of Provost Mutimír of Spiš. Thanks to the systematic archive research, enough written sources have been collected. In addition, a unique object, namely a hitherto unknown seal of Mutimír, has been found. Analysis of this exceptional collection of sources has verified some hypotheses from older expert literature, but some did not stand up to examination and some new ideas have emerged. Reconstruction of Mutimír’s career enables us to examine the method of selection of persons suitable to hold middle level positions in the church hierarchy, and at the courts of members of the royal family. In the 21st century corporate language, we could use the designation headhunting. A no less important aspect of such a career was the transfer of the spiritual or intellectual culture, which a person such as Mutimír had acquired from his geographical and social origin, education and previous activity. In the case of Mutimír, we see this not only in his important collection of manuscripts, which he left to Collegiate chapter of Spiš, but also in his seal showing Byzantine influence resulting from his close cooperation with Maria Laskaris, the Byzantine wife of King Bela IV.

This study provides archontological‑prosopographical analysis of staffing of Spiš chapter during the period of 1301 to 1323. The first part provides reconstruction of the internal order of the chapter, focusing not only on ecclesiastical benefice of the canons, but also on lower ranked members of the chapter. The study also maps the dynamics of middle class of clergy in Hungarian kingdom. This is done by reconstruction of individual positions of particular chapter members and, where possible, also by observing their relations outside the ecclesiastical environment. Importance of such observations arises from the fact that this category of clergy was considered to be clerical elite (in both literal, as well as broader sense) by their mere participation in a chapter house (in this case, Spiš chapter). On one hand, they took part in state management by occupying trustworthy positions. On the other, they presented a reservoir of candidates for the highest ranks in ecclesiastical hierarchy. The research of these processes can provide the results only if it is performed systematically. This study is aimed at becoming a part of such research.

There are multiple factors that had a certain influence on position of the Byzantine rite Christians in the Hungarian kingdom during the Vlach colonisation (the 14th – 17th centuries). In the paper the author attempts to describe position of Eastern Christians in both ecclesiastical and profane spheres of life, how they were treated by the king, their landlords, the Latin Church officials and eventually the pope himself in a period of time since they were first mentioned in the written sources until the time when a part of the Byzantine rite clergy recognised an act of subordination to the Latin clergy and thus entered a union with the pope. During this process a number of adherents of the Eastern “branch” of Christianity noticeably increased and so did a royal need for their services as the protectors of the borders.

In the last decades extensive research was focused on the relationship between the Arpad and Romanovich dynasties. Considering the role of both dynasties the research was concentrated mostly on the political history and foreign contacts in Central and Eastern Europe. This research was less focused on the situation on the level of regional history. The aim of this entry is to summarize the historical sources related to the contacts between the Hungarian Kingdom and the Galician-Volynian Principality in the 1240s, and the interpretations of them. These contacts resulted in the marriage of Princess Constance and Prince Leo.

The medieval Franciscan monasteries of Bratislava (Slovakia) and Sopron (Hungary) are important representatives of the Gothic architecture of the former Hungarian Kingdom. An extensive research executed between 2013 and 2017 has proven that the construction of their towers was closely related to the workshop of the Stephanskirche, Vienna; and that they are important milestones in the evolution of the Gothic spires, with significantly earlier construction date as it is widely accepted in the literature. This article is based on the corresponding parts of the author’s PhD thesis defended in 2017.

This paper deals with a specific genre in Kollár's work, namely the travelogue entitled Journey to Northern Italy (1843), which is an integral piece of central European travelogues of the 19th century. The study focuses on the analysis of the first stretch of the writer´s journey to the territory of the Hungarian Kingdom, specifically on the description of the area Zalavár/Mosaburg which belongs to the well-known early medieval settlements of the Cyril and Methodius era. On the one hand, the author’s focus is on the method of the space organization of the mentioned travelogue rooted in the Baroque era (first of all the phenomena as enfilade or central organization of the space). On the other hand, the author pays attention to Kollár’s efforts to create a modern Slavic cultural space from the old one as well as to the writer´s endeavour to set the Slavic cultural space free from the Hungarian captivity.

A monastery in present-day Hronský Beňadik was one of wealthy ecclesiastical institutions in the medieval Hungarian Kingdom. Hungarian King Géza I (1074 – 1077) was the founder of the monastery. The paper is focused on the abbey estates which are recorded in the founding charter dated 1075 and the charter of Pope Innocent III (1198 – 1216) dated 1209. Both charters mention 25 settlements and "terra Sugolgi" with the St. Martin's Chapel in Dvory nad Žitavou. Some estates are recorded only in one of the charters.

In medieval society seals used to be important instruments, bearing a wide range of applications. Closer attention is usually paid to their connection to documents with legal content. When attached to charters and letters they fulfilled several functions such as authenticating, authorizing and enclosing them. Researchers usually do not pay as much attention to other uses of seals that have no direct connection to written documents. In the Early Middle Ages, seals were also used for court summons and for sealing the wounds during ordeals. In the Late Middle Ages, we know of their application for property protection against unauthorized manipulation. Seals used to safeguard cases with seal matrices, money or insignia as well as reliquaries. This study introduces the ways seals had been used based on written legal, diplomatic and narrative sources from specific periods.

The territory of present day Slovakia (which was part of the Hungarian Kingdom prior to 1918) is a boundary region between the areas of dominance of the Western and Eastern Christian rites. The shaping of this overlapping zone was not a simple process and numerous researchers devoted themselves to investigating this topic. This research interest continues. Often discussed is the idea of an uninterrupted continuity of the Eastern/Byzantine/Greek rite in Slovakia from the time of Great Moravia. Researchers offer diverse arguments to substantiate this line of reasoning. One of them is the Spiš Provosts who had supposedly practiced the Eastern rite within the Spiš Chapterhouse. This paper offers a new examination of these arguments based on the preserved historical records (primary sources), subjecting them to a rigorous critical reevaluation.

The history of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary is known in the nowadays Slovak public especially thanks to its participation in the well-known battle of Rozhanovce in 1312 alongside Charles I of Hungary (better known as Charles Robert). With this crucial help to the first Angevin Hungarian king, the Hospitallers most significantly proved their allegiance to the Anjou dynasty. This study focuses on tracing the beginnings of cooperation between the Hungarian Hospitallers and the Anjou dynasty before the battle of Rozhanovce, based on manifestations of the pro-Anjou attitude in the light of the Hospitallers’ forms of communication. Firstly, the paper examines the period of the reign of the last Arpadian king, Andrew III, when the Anjou dynasty was already trying to establish itself in the Kingdom of Hungary. The information on whether the Hospitallers stood on the side of Angevines or they did not, cannot be acquired from the extant written sources from the last decade of the 13th century. On the other hand, it can be stated that they cooperated with Andrew III, at least regarding property and legal matters. Furthermore, the study deals with the period of consolidation of the royal power in the Hungarian kingdom until the Battle of Rozhanovce. Based on several written sources, it can be stated that in the first decade of the 14th century, the Order of St. John in the Hungarian kingdom unequivocally joined the side of Charles I at latest in August 1303. Moreover, the presented sources are unique examples of symbolic, visual, written, but also personal manners of communication of the Hungarian Hospitallers at the turn of the 13th and 14th century.

Budapest painter Andor Dudits (*1866 – 1944) created a monumental wall painting in honour of Francis II Rákóczi in the Cathedral of St Elizabeth in Košice from 1914 to 1916. It belonged to one of the last adaptations of the topic of anti-Habsburg resistance in painting in the Hungarian Kingdom. It was created based on a competition organized by the State Monuments Commission. With it, Dudits continued his previous Art Nouveau works in the sacral space (Bačka Topola, 1908; Brezno, 1909). Its concept and composition can be compared to the painting The Bridge of Life by Walter Crane, which was exhibited in the form of a graphic in Budapest. The impression of a mosaic, golden background, the look of Rákóczi’s mother Jelena Zrinska, and a funeral procession point also to other Pre-Raphaelite inspirations.
