Habsburg arisztokraták és a két háború közötti magyar királykérdés
Habsburg Aristocrats and The “Royal Question” in the Interwar Hungary

Summary/Abstract: Following the election of Miklós Horthy as governor and the dethronement of Charles IV, a special public law situation had developed in Hungary, during which the state form of the country remained, in fact, but no one was authorized to occupy the Hungarian royal throne. The fact that a kingdom existed without a monarch in the heart of contemporary Europe served as an almost constant topic for the political and gossip columns of the domestic and international press, and earned a prominent place among the conversation topics in the rather extensive network of European aristocracy as well. However, not only Charles IV and his son Otto Habsburg were mentioned as possible candidates. Many organizations and individuals tried to win their own ideas in the chaotic situation after the Trianon Treaty and get the Hungarian crown for their candidate or for themselves. Focusing on the members of Habsburg family the study attempts to introduce the most important interwar “candidates” of the former royal dynasty, including the motivations, background and supporters of the “candidacy” of each person, as well as the foundations and realities of their aspiration.
