Summary/Abstract: The main and most spectacular scene of the political battles of the Hungarian reform era was the bicameral Diet, where, with some simplification, the conservative governing party and the ever-growing reform opposition clashed. This study attempts to show who at all, how many of them and by what political proportion, participated in the Upper Chamber of the Hungarian Diet, and effectively they could fulfill the role assigned to them by the government.
