Взаимоотношенията между Унгария и Хабсбургската империя или сцени от един „смесен брак“
Relation between Hungary and the Habsburg Empire or Scenes from a “Mixed Marriage”

Summary/Abstract: For four hundred years the Habsburgs were compelled to share power in Hungary with its subjects – for three centuries with the nobility and the other estates, and in the last half of a century also with the circle of those citizens who, owing to the comparatively liberal but yet requiring an educational qualification law, were entitled to take part in politics. The Habsburg Empire very often defended the Hungarians, but frequently also exploited and oppressed them. The link between Hungary and the Habsburg Dynasty may be defined as a dynamic dualism of the legal and actual position of the participants in it. For this reason Istvan Szechenyi has determined the specific relations of Hungary with the Habsburg Empire by the apt expression “mixed marriage”.
