The Effects on the University of Prague to the Hungarian Royal Court in the Fourteenth Century

Summary/Abstract: The University of Prague played a central role in the education of the Hungarians in the 14th century. From the identified career paths, it has been made clear that many of them belonged to the Royal Court at least with family bonds. Why was it worthwhile for them to study at a university, in order to be part of the court? According to Peter Moraw, university studies were also persuasive enough to compete with the traditional factors of military service or family backgrounds and wealth, in order to attend the royal court. Prague was indeed a very illustrious element of the educational web of Central Europe, but apart from Moraw, there is another observation in defining the importance of university studies: the majority of Hungarian noble students in Prague came from the courtly nobility, so the exemplary role of the Hungarian Angevin Kings can be suggested here. But this function will be discussed in detail at another stage of my research.
