The essay comments on a grand tour (Landerreise) taken by the moderately wealthy Count Franz Julius Verdugo (1661-1712) in 1681-1683. The tour led him to the noble academy in Turin (six months), to Papal Rome (six months), the noble academy in French Angers (three months), Paris (three months) and the governor’s court in Brussels (about two months). Based on a research into almost 160 letters, the essay introduces not only an itinerary and basic information on Verdugo’s tour, but it also includes a detailed analysis of three partially varied viewpoints on the grand tour. It shows how differently his mother, the cavalier and his tutor perceived it. Although they all experienced the tour in a different way, they had a common goal – young Verdugo was required to “qualify himself”. He should have acquired abilities, knowledge and manners that would allow him to assert himself on a court and in the estate society of various countries in the Habsburg Monarchy after his return home. However, the journey to such a “qualification” was complicated and arose in a constant exchange of viewpoints among the three parties.

This paper focuses on a specific kind of medieval written source - the letters of private people. In particular, the author focuses on a group of private letters written by Hungarian noble women. It explores the possibilities of using these letters for historical and genealogical research while also looking at themes such as the history of education and schooling, as well as the everyday lives of the medieval nobility. The author analysed ten letters and managed to identify a number of people in the process, who were previously unknown in the genealogy of specific noble families. Different connections and relationships were identified that had previously been unknown in Slovak and Hungarian historiography. By looking at the development of education and the knowledge of writing in the Hungarian Empire, the author sheds light on when and why the writing of private letters became part of everyday life for female Hungarian nobles and not just their male counterparts. The paper provides a unique view into the lives of medieval Hungarian noble women, through the study of their own words, letters and personal writings.
