Hungarian nobles

Hungarian nobles were members of the aristocracy in Hungary, especially prominent from the medieval period through the early 20th century. They owned large estates and held significant power, influencing both politics and society. Nobility was often inherited, and titles included counts, barons, and dukes. Hungarian nobles played vital roles in the administration of the kingdom, served in the military, and often had legal privileges. Their influence began to decline after World War I, as Hungary underwent political and social changes, leading to the abolition of the feudal system and the nobility's formal status.
