The Hungarians or Magyars, which they
call them selves, emigrated to present day Hungary 895 where they
established a state of their own. The first Hungarian prince to both
become Christian and use the title king was István I, before his baptism
1001 he was called Vajk. The Hungarian kingdom was during the middle age
considerably larger than the present Hungary, it included Croatia,
Slovakia and large parts Romania and Serbia. The disastrous battle of
Mohacs ended Hungary’s age of greatness and it was later divided between
the Ottoman Empire, the Austrian Habsburgs and Transylvania. The
Habsburgs managed to conquer all Hungary 1699 and it remained a part of
their domains until the First World War when Hungary deposed the last
Habsburg king.
