The Kingdom of Hungary

[Executive Minister]

The Kingdom of Hungary

Lands of the Holy Hungarian Crown of Saint Stephen

In the four centuries after their migration into the Carpathian Basin, the Magyars, descendants of the Mighty Attila, gradually developed from a loose confederation of tribes into a recognized kingdom. This kingdom, which became known as the Kingdom of Hungary, is led by the Árpád Dynasty.

Capital City: Székesfehérvár

...founded in 972 by High Prince Géza on four islands in the moors of the streams Gaja and Sárvíz. Built around the Stone Fortress/Castle of Bory, where the Legendary and titular Stephen I of Hungary, first King of Hungary and son of Géza, was born and later crowned.

Government: Absolute Monarchy

Saint Stephen's Crown, the Sword and the Orb of Hungary, three hallowed items that a ruler must have in his possession in order for his reign to be considered Holy and right.

... Stephen I of Hungary was Grand Prince of the Hungarians (997–1000) and the first King of Hungary (1000–1038). He greatly expanded Hungarian control over the Carpathian Basin during his lifetime, broadly established Christianity in the region, and he is generally considered to be the founder of the Kingdom of Hungary. Pope Gregory VII canonized Stephen I, together with his son, Saint Emeric of Hungary and Bishop Gerard of Csanád, on 20 August 1083, becoming one of the most popular saints in Hungary and his birthday is celebrated as a holiday commemorating the foundation of the nation.

King: Matthias Corvinus

... Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, King of the Kingdom of Hungary, Ruler of the Lands of the Holy Hungarian Crown of Saint Stephen, Commander of the Hungarian Black Legion and descendant of Attila the Hun. Matthias belongs to the Árpád Dynasty, the same that led the ancient Magyars to the Carpathian Basin, where the Kingdom now resides.

Territory:Present day Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia

"The land stretching between the Danube and the Tisza used to belong to my forefather, the mighty Attila."

Such sentiment is proudly displayed by the Hungarians and other Central European races that reside within the Kingdom that composes the Present Day nations of Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia.
