About Me

Imrich Nagy: As AJP Taylor wrote, "the Hungarian gentry lived aloof and remote in their counties; few of them entered royal service; they tended to regard the Habsburg King as a foreigner, often as an enemy". This is one reason why the history of the Hungarian nobility is so obscure and little-known today. This blog will attempt to illuminate the life of the Hungarian gentry from one County, the County of Bratislava - a county of very particular significance, being one the oldest counties; being so near to Vienna; having been the county of the Hungarian capital, and being one of the Slovak capital today; and having such a diverse historical nobility.
