HORVÁTH HAJNALKA: Köznemesség és követjárás

Hajnalka Horváth

THE GENTRY AND THE DEPUTIES

The essay studies the political role of the gentry in the 2nd half of the 17th century in 4 shires (Pest, Heves, Borsod, Zemplén). The study first frames the shire officials (vicecomes, nótárius, iudlium). With the use of categories such as the shire elite, regional elite, national deputy and ’’political states” you can observe how the elite of the gentry were embedded into the gentry itself.
