This study focuses on question of literacy on the court of the aristocratic Drugeth family. Originated in the Kingdom of Naples, Drugeths were collaborators and adherents of Hungarian king Charles Robert of Anjou. For a longer period of time they were palatines of Hungarian kingdom (1323-1341) and one of the most powerful aristocratic families of the era - they were foremen of the new Angevin nobility. The paper focuses not only on the question of literacy within the framework of the chancellery and public service of the Drugeth family, but as well on the literacy, that was a part of the culture and ereryday life or this family. The author particularly resolves whether the palatine William Drugeth was literate and whether he researched in the Scepus law.

The author of the text attempts to analyse the ways how the church chroniclers from the Czech Lands depicted and characterised Hungary and its inhabitants in the 14th century. A detailed analysis was performed for the following six chronicles by church authors: The Žďár Monastery Chronicle, The Zbraslav Chronicle, The Chronicle of František Pražský, The Chronicle of Beneš Krabic of Weitmile and The Chronicle of Přibík Pulkava of Radenín. The analysis also included the interesting Dalimil Chronicle, for which the background of its author is unknown. The author further analysed the Autobiography of King Charles IV of Luxembourg. For the purpose of a comparison with another social background, the author stepped beyond the limits of the 14th century and analysed three chronicles mostly covering the 15th century: The Chronicle of Bartošek of Drahonice, The Hussite Chronicle of Vavřinec of Březová and Staré letopisy české [The Old Bohemian Annals].

The document and the text of the loyalty oath of the presbyters also known as the Uzhhorod Union Document had been unknown until 2016. The event itself and also the operational model were derived from similar procedures abroad. This lack of knowledge often caused various adjustments and analogical reasoning. The act of oath was explained in the context of a falsum dated to the end of Francis II Rákóczi’s uprising, which mentions the act for the first time. This falsum is believed to be written in 1652 and it had been based on preserved information about the act. The model of the event which is still accepted today is 310 years old and derives from the interests of the Eger suffragans of the Greek Rite. The aim of this contribution is to analyse the letter to Pope Innocent X from 1652, which is supposed to be a falsum created on the basis of preserved information about the act and which responds to the situation in Hungary after the uprising of Francis II Rákóczi.

The development of business organisations and commercial law as such in the Kingdom of Hungary was gradual. We may add that it was belated, as compared to other Western European countries, but also Austria. This is also documented by historical events, where the onset of the modern age in the Kingdom of Hungary dates back to 1526; the Industrial Revolution has also begun later, given the rural character of Hungary that also preserved its nature during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. After the end of World War I and the formation of Czechoslovakia, intensive reform and unification efforts were underway in the law of business organisations. World War II frustrated these efforts. The period that followed after the end of the war was not a propitious time for the commercial law either. The monopoly held by the Czechoslovak Communist Party meant liquidation of private businesses and a centrally controlled economy. Changes were not brought before the events after 1989, or 1993 (associated with the formation of an independent Slovak Republic).

The period of the High Middle Ages was characterized by growth in many spheres of life and culture. While the growth and prosperity of those times are often taken for granted, the High Middle Ages was also the time of great human and religious unrests, when many attempts were made to create new forms of an exclusively religious life. These efforts led to the creation of countless religious movements among which the Franciscans and their affiliated order of nuns, the Poor Clares, have become the most significant. These pauperist movements followed and imitated Christ in strict poverty. The main protagonists of this movement were Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Clare of Assisi who laid foundations of the two religious communities that bear their names. The Poor Clares were actively present in the territory of Slovakia from 1239 until 1782 when their order was dissolved. In 2001, the order of the Capuchin Poor Clares was established in Slovakia in Kopernica near Kremnica.

In the Angevin era, the magister tavarnicorum was first of all the highest office-bearer of financial administration, but he had also other functions. Firstly the magister tavarnicorum’s function as ‘ordinary judge’ actually meant that he was at this time regarded as the main court of appeal for cases heard in towns, or the judge of towns. This function began to accrue to the magister tavarnicorum in the second half of the thirteenth century but only became fully formed in the Angevin era. The magister tavarnicorum’s judicial powers were manifested in diverse matters and can be traced through charters of privilege granted to towns and documents recording his actions in specific cases.

The study examines motives of salvation, which were noticed in charters of foundations of Benedictine monasteries, later in charters that recorded donations for monks of these monasteries in medieval Kingdom of Hungary from the 11th to 13th century. In the work, I deal with textual variants that concern the motives of redemption of the donor´s souls, the content of devout donations and finally the historical background and circumstances under which the rulers, clergy and nobility came to a decision to endow monasteries. Rather generally formulated motives of salvation appear in less numerous sources from the 11th century followed by data on the content of donations. Since the beginning of the 12th century, the sources have given an insight into the broader historical context of formation of these pious motives.

The Catholic Church had to deal with the ideas different from its official learning already at its beginnings. These heretic movements threatened its unity, therefore the Church represented by the Pope and the Church hierarchy in cooperation with the worldly power tried to stop such thoughts by the means of ecclesiastical punishment. To suppress the heresy the institute of inquisition was established. Heretic ideas also spread in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. Its southern parts, for instance, affected the influence of Bogomilism in the 11th century. Since the end of the 14th century the ideas of the Waldensian movement spread to the western part of the Kingdom. In the 15th century students from the Prague University introduced radical Hussite teaching in Hungary. This teaching found its audience especially in the southern parts of the Kingdom and in Transylvania. The ideas of the Lutheran reformation came from the German lands to Hungary already in the 20s of the 16th century. They were first adopted by the German burghers of the mining towns in the central and eastern Slovakia and in Transylvania.

The study is concerned with the changes in social and health care in the Kingdom of Hungary in the first half of the 19th century. In this period social care became more systematic and was gradually separated from health care. Apart from town administrations and religious institutions, charitable societies began to significantly contribute to charitable activities. Under the influence of the central government, local authorities began to devote increased attention to such categories of dependent people as the mentally ill, single mothers and illegitimate children, who had previously been scorned or punished by society. Educational institutions for deaf-mute and blind children were a new element on the regional level.

Apart from the large ethnic groups, the multi-ethnic Kingdom of Hungary also included several less numerous historic autochthonous and alochthonous ethnic groups. We can describe the initially nomadic Romany group as relatively late arrivals. Thanks to their ethnic difference they were symbolically and often also really excluded from the majority society of the Central European region. As a result of some degree of isolation from the main social developmental currents, the Romany still retained various specific characteristics in late 19th century Hungary, in spite of more or less intensive efforts to achieve their complete integration. One of the important instruments for monitoring the success of individual measures and preparing evidence for their formulation was various types of census. From the point of view of content and methodology, the most important is the census of Romany in Hungary at the end of January 1893. It is a unique source of information on the character of the Romany population in Hungary at the end of the 19th century. The aim of the paper is to consider the background to the census of Romany in 1893, its causes, preparation and implementation, as well as to analyse the main and some specific characteristics of the Romany population of Hungary in 1893 on the basis of the available published data.

The study uses a wide range of sources to uncover the spread of the ideas of Immanuel Kant outside philosophical circles in the Slovak part of the Kingdom of Hungary. The flow of philosophical ideas is shown not only by the works of Kantians in Hungary, but also by censorship records of the importing of Kantian texts in the 1790s. Critical debate in correspondence and in published texts uncovers anti-Kantian arguments. Information about the propagation and multiplication of Kant’s works give an idea of their popularity. Research into memoirs sheds light on how philosophical messages circulated in private communication networks, reaching beyond the philosophical and educational sphere, in spite of bans and repression.

The study is directed towards the activity of a wandering Protestant printer Valentín Mančovič in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th century. It summarizes his printing activity at Šintava, Plavecký Hrad, Hlohovec and Vižoľ. It comprehensively captures the life and work of Valentín Mančkovič and on the basis of surviving archive sources corrects the hitherto inaccurate chronology of his printing of books. The language and content of his independent works and those produced in cooperation with Peter Bornemisza are also considered. The paper analyses the social circumstances of a moving printing press and gives information about Valentín Mančkovič’s translation activities.

King Louis I of Hungary founded the chapel in Aachen for Hungarian pilgrims, providing it with relics of Hungarian saints and liturgical equipment. The chapel in the Gothic style was added to the south side of the church. Maintenance and operation of the chapel, as well as supplies for two chaplains were provided from the surrounding markets, and the land was acquired in cooperation with the Aachen town authorities. The chapel with its equipment and two chaplains was placed in the care of the town and canons in 1370. Pope George XI granted an annual indulgence to all who confessed and visited the chapel. Henry Abbot of Pilis abbot meritoriously contributed to the chapel foundation. His mission referred to negotiations and contractual provision of all relevant matters. The chapel had served its purpose for a few centuries when it burnt down in 1656. Later it was reconstructed in the Baroque style.

The subject of the presented study is the presentation of a partial issue related to the origin of Duym, the ancestor of the Hungarian (Veglian) branch of the Frankopan family and his work on the island of Veglia. We observe the entry of his sons Bartholomew and Guido into the service of the Hungarian King Bela III, as well as the career rise of their descendants, from the very birth in 1193 until the second half of the 13th century, when members of this family finally established themselves in circles of high court politics. In addition to the adaptation of Duym‘s sons, the subject of interest of this study focuses on the territorial expansion of the Frankopan family from the territory of today‘s island of Veglia (Krk) to the southwestern region of the Kingdom of Hungary, specifically to the Veglian, Modruš and Vinodol administrative unit. The aim of our contribution is also to point out the strengthening position of Venice and their relentless efforts to expand their power circle further southeast into the region of coastal Dalmatia.

In spite of the fact that no locality now in the territory of Slovakia but then a part of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, appears in the itinerary of the Franciscan, Church lawyer and reformer of the order John of Capistrano, news of the “miracle working preacher” reached here and motivated people to travel to him in the hope of being healed of various illnesses, to write letters to him, to support observant foundations, or to join monasteries founded or reformed by him. The present study based on sources such as documents on acceptance into the Confraternity of Observant Franciscans, collections of miracles at the Collegio San Isidoro in Rome, medieval charters and chronicles, is devoted to the veneration of Capistrano and its spread in our territory. However, the aim of the study is not to take developments connected with Capistrano out of the context of the history of the Kingdom of Hungary or to place them in isolation, but to point out that this theme deserves attention from present-day Slovak historiography.

This study deals with the circumstances of establishment of the Pressburger Sparkassa as well as its business activities and business ambitions in the period 1842–1849. It was precisely in the Hungarian context that in the first half of the 19th century their „hybrid“ forms were created. These institutions were on the borders of profit and philanthropy and their social mission also expanded gradually. Under the particular Hungarian conditions, the savings – banks grew rapidly into more or less dominant bank depositories led by the most influential and wealthiest businessmen, however, they observed in their titles the word: “savings – bank” for a long time. The Pressburger Sparkassa became a pioneer in spreading the business principle in Hungarian banking. This financial institution was initiated in the city’s society by generally recognized personalities, merchants and aristocrats, representatives of the local mainly German and to a lesser extent Hungarian elite in 1841. In fact, it acted as a depository bank from the beginning on. Foreign impulses played an important role as well as domestic initiatives, the promotion of the ideas of savings and banking, and last but not least, the business experience of Pressburg traders.

On the basis of detailed interpretation of the usable contemporary sources, the author describes the social and ethnic origin of the Hungarian nobility, and its development as a social group from the 11th to the 13th centuries. Especially according to the provisions of the so-called Golden Bull from 1222, he comes to the conclusion that from the beginning of the 13th century, the nobility regarded military service as a burden, and they strove for a share of political influence in the Kingdom of Hungary. The nobility became the political elite of Hungarian society.

The aim of the study is to analyse and interpret how the ideas of the Vienna court about the form and aims of institutional care for orphaned children developed in the course of the 18th century under the influence of the theoretical conceptions of the time, and to what degree these ideas were successfully put into practice. At first Maria Theresia preferred the training of orphaned children for manual work, but from the 1770s she began to emphasize their education and military training. Joseph II did not see orphanages as educational, but only as care institutions, and the majority of their inmates were placed with foster parents in return for small payments.

Prince Christian Kraft von Hohenlohe bought his first properties in the High Tatras area in 1879 and gradually bought more (about 19,000 ha in total). Several of his buying activities caused great emotions of nationalism in the Kingdom of Hungary. As a German from the Reich, he came into conflict with the opinion that the High Tatras should remain in domestic hands. Even here, however, no one was clear whether it was meant to be Hungarians, Zips Germans, Slovaks or Poles. In addition, the Hungarian state entered the nationalist discourse, which had ambitions to buy property into state hands, which was supposed to be an expression of a positive attitude towards the country and opposition to the most beautiful areas falling into the hands of foreigners. Hohenlohe programmatically demonstrated a positive relationship to the state and its politics. On the other hand, he came into conflict with domestic tourists on his properties, and with his contradictory conservation activities, he justified closing the properties to tourists, which again caused only resistance and resentment from the public. In the Hungarian-Polish border dispute at the beginning of the 20th century, he took the Hungarian side and after 1918 pragmatically defended Czechoslovak interests against Polish territorial claims, because it both suited him and enabled him to avoid the intentions of the later Czechoslovak land reform. The state was also accommodating to the heirs of the estates and dealt with them very generously, as it did not desire a conflict with the Reich Germans in the 1930s. The fates of the Hohenlohe properties thus remained rather exceptional in the Hungarian and Czechoslovak state context.
