Renaissance eating habits in Hungary In Hungary the Renaissance ideals and Renaissance art emerged relatively early - in the fourteenth century, with the ascent of the Anjou. Very little has come down to us about the eating habits of Hungary's fourteenth-century rulers (such as Charles Robert, Louis I or Queen Mary). Fortunately, a little more is known about Sigismund of Luxembourg (1387-1437): a kitchen list, drawn up for the feast celebrating the meeting of Sigismund and the Austrian Duke Ernest in Pozsony (Bratislava) in 1410, has come down to us. A similar list survives of the king's sojourn in 1419, as p. from his visit to Paris in 1416. \^ The royal chefs were highly honoured "professionals." One of King Sigismunde chefs, Ferenc Eresztvényi was conferred nobility in 1414. After Sigismunde death in 1437 three kings held the Hungarian throne for a short while: Albert I (1437-1439), Wladislas I (1440-1444) and Ladisias V (1440-1457). They were succeeded by Matthias Hunyadi (14581490). Most of the known culinary sources date from the middle and end of the fifteenth century. 53. Card figures. Chancellor and Musician.
