Hungarian nobility

Hungarian nobility refers to the aristocratic class in Hungary, which historically held significant social, political, and economic power. Originating in the Middle Ages, these nobles often owned vast lands and were granted titles by kings. The nobility played a key role in governance and military service, forming the backbone of the feudal system. Over time, the importance of the nobility diminished, especially after World War I when the feudal privileges were abolished. Today, Hungarian nobility is more of a historical and cultural reference, with some families still maintaining their titles and traditions.
