THE MATTERS OF THE NON-WAR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KURUCS AND LABANCS CONCERNING THE GARRISON OF FÜLEK IN THE TIME OF ISTVÁN II. KOHÁRY CAPTAIN-GENERAL (1672-1682)

It happenned significant changes again in the History of Hungary after the fall of the Spring Uprising of 1670, as the Fugitives (named Kurucs by their contemporaries) supported by the Prince of Transylvania and the Passas of the Turkish Occupied Territories, in every year from 1672, invaded to the Hungarian Kingdom in lesser-bigger groups, so as to chase away the Imperial troops. But during the almost civil war not only fights and and ambushes happenned, but in the interval of the struggling, such matters also turned up, which were not exactly occurred by war-time occupations. These matters can give a tinger view for the posterity into the everyday of the Kuruc-Labanc fights, can allow them inspect into the economical and social correlations of the late 17th century, moreover, into the mentality of the people of that age, too.

This essay undertakes to present these matters (the possibilities of the connectionmaking between the Kurucs and Labancs, problems of issuing letters of protection and travelling warrants and attempts at being given compensations for goods and living stocks plundered by the Kurucs, then soon retaken by the Roundshiers) in the micro- historical aspects of Fülek situated in Nógrád County, in such a fortress, whose Captain- General, István II. Koháry never went over to the Kurucs and never handed Fülek over to them during his command time. But Fülek is also good example for presenting for that, because the largest garrison was stationed in it among the surrounding fortresses, and that must be known, the big majority of the warriors of Fülek never joined to the Kurucs.

Firstly, the essay examines the possibilities of the connection-making between the Kurucs and Labancs: the most typical negotiating bases were mutual changing and ransoming of the war prisoners, the restoring of the goods, equipments and living-stocks plundered from the Kurucs during armistice time and negotiating about capitulation conditions. The second part of the essay shows that issuing the letters of protection and the travelling warrants were indispensable for entering into the hostile territory and passing through over it in safe. The final part of the essay gives answer about it whether the goods and living-stocks plundered by the Kurucs and soon retaken by the Roundshiers were got back to the original owners?
