About Kingdom of Hungary

The Kingdom of Hungary existed from 1000 to 1918 and was one of the most considerable states in Europe. In the late middle ages, the Latin terms "Natio Hungarica" and "Hungarus" referred to all of the population, as loyalty and patriotism towards the crown existed among all inhabitants, regardless of ethnic origins.

The territories of medieval Hungary were second to the Holy Roman Empire and its population was the third largest in Europe. The Kingdom of Hungary consisted of present-day Hungary, Slovakia, Carpatho-Ruthenia (in present-day Ukraine), Vojvodina (in present-day Serbia), Burgenland (in present-day Austria), the Kingdom of Slavonia (part of Croatia), and other smaller territories surrounding present-day Hungary's borders. Transylvania (part of the present-day Romania), developed an autonomous status within the Hungarian kingdom and after 1526 became a fully autonomous entity. Croatia (without Slavonia), had autonomy between 1091 and 1868 within, and then between 1868-1918 in personal union with Hungary.
