Kings and Princes of Hungary

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.
