Information flow in the Kingdom of Hungary in the mirror of German medieval chronicles

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates some of the international connections of the Kingdom of Hungary in the Middle Age, providing insight into the information fl ow primarily based on the Styrian Rhymed Chronicle of Ottokar aus der Gaal (Steirische Reimchronik/Österreichische Reimchronik), a document originated in the fi rst two decades of the 14th century. Other German medieval chronicles are also used as an addition. After describing the terminology of the period, the study turns its attention to the senders and the messengers, and focuses on the requirements the parties had to meet, the rule of inviolability, the rewards, the way the information was sent and about characteristics of the message and the negotiations.
