A középkori magyar királykoronázás összeurópai kontextusban
The Medieval Hungarian Royal Coronation in European Context

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the medieval Hungarian royal coronations and the ordines that were used on these occasions. The coronation ritual was fixed everywhere in Europe: the procedure is revealed by the coronation ordines. At first, the 82 extant European coronation ordines are examined comparatively, and secondly the coronations of the individual kings of Hungary are examined in the context of the ensuing results as well as in the light of the previous scholarly literature. It is the coronation ordines of Kings Stephen, Solomon and Louis I that are analysed in detail; for in these cases new perspectives and possibilities emerged in the wake of the examination of the ordines.
