LIMITS OF ROYAL POWER Although with St. Stephen’s policy of centralization royal power in Hungary became almost unlimited in theory, in practice it was limited both by the new Christian ethics, as well as by the customary laws stemming from ancient Magyar traditions. As mentioned earlier, customary laws held such a sway over Hungarian society, that written laws were almost meaningless, except in areas that were new to Magyar national traditions (i.e. Christianity and royal centralization). Moreover, these national traditions influenced even the authors of St. Stephen’s two law codes issued in 1001 and in the mid 1030’s, respectively. This is evident, among others, from the system of penalties that were levied in accordance with the “quintal-decimal system” (5-10-50-100), and not according to the “quarter system” (4-8-16-40-80) used in Germanic and Slavic societies. (Lederer, Szöveggyűjtemény, 15-27.) FOREIGN POLICY King St. Stephen was fortunate in that during the initial, critical period of his reign he was basically free from foreign entanglements, and could concentrate his attention to the internal reorganization of his realm. This freedom was the result of his friendly relationship to the Holy Roman Emperors Otto III (983-1002) and Henry II the Saint (1002-1024), the latter of whom was his brother-in-law. With the death of Henry II, however, the Saxon-Bavarian Dynasty, that had been so close to the Árpáds, had come to an end, and Henry’s place was taken by Conrad II (1024-39) of the Frankish-Salian Dynasty. Contrary to his immediate predecessors, Conrad II regarded himself primarily as a German king, and he judged everything from the vantage point of Germandom. Thus, in addition to impeding the independence movements of the Czech and Polish monarchs, who had feudal relationships with the Empire, he also wished to extend his control to Hungary. He attacked the Magyars in 1030, hut his efforts ended in total defeat. The Treaty of 1031, which ended the German-Hungarian war, extended Hungarian control into the eastern part of present-day Austria and the southern part of Moravia. St. Stephen’s victory over Conrad put an end to the Emperor’s aspirations, and not until after Stephen’s death did the Holy Roman Emperors make another effort to extend their control over Hungary.
