A Magyar Kamara tisztviselőinek hivatali mobilitása 1527–1567 között
The Career Mobility of the Officials of the Hungarian Chamber Between 1527 and 1567

Summary/Abstract: The basis for the analysis indicated in the title was constituted by the biographical data of 36 chamber councillors and revenue administrators of Upper Hungary, which have been collected according to the same criteria, and are consequently suitable for statistical analysis. On the basis of the latter, the possibilities and limits of the professional rise of chamber officials were examined. At first, I have established the offices held by the councillors prior to their joining the Hungarian Chamber. Secondly, the possibilities of advancement within the Chamber were explored, with special regard to which initial positions enabled their holdes to eventually become councillors or presidents, to what percent of the officials managed to ascend the professional ladder, to the limits of this rise, and to the possibilities of “jumping over” certain steps. Finally, I explore the question of how many among the councillors continued their career outside the Hungarian Chamber, thereby offering the opportunity of advancement to others.
