Kuruc or Labanc? Hungary’s Eternal Fault Line — Part IV

‘The kuruc were never mindless rabble-rousers, just like the labanc were never simply unpatriotic traitors. While the merits and good practices of kuruc and 49ist politicians have been been amply publicised and celebrated, the labanc side was often sidelined, and as a result, their perspectives and values are still missing from contemporary politics. It would be worth devoting more attention to the ideas of the Young Conservatives from the Era of Reform. They understood that while our interests must be unwaveringly represented and fought for, Hungary cannot stand alone in turbulent times.’

Kuruc or Labanc? Hungary’s Eternal Fault Line — Part III

Kuruc or Labanc? Hungary’s Eternal Fault Line — Part I

When the Hungarians Took Their Fate into Their Own Hands, Defying the Might of Europe — Rákóczi’s War of Independence

Two important events played a role in Rákóczi’s return to Hungary in 1703. On the one hand, the unfolding War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714), which meant the withdrawal of most of the imperial regiments from the country, and on the other, the uprising of the serfs of Munkács, provided the perfect opportunity for Rákóczi to organize an armed rebellion. At the request of Tamás Esze, the leader of the uprising in the Tiszahát region, Francis II Rákóczi took the lead in the what developed into a War of Independence, issuing a proclamation calling on nobles and non-nobles alike to take up arms.

How the Distinctive Clothing of Hungarian Reformed Ministers Took Shape and Changed During the Centuries — Part IV

The second half of the 17th century was a time of great hardships for Protestants: Protestant church history calls the years between 1671 and 1681 the ‘decade of mourning’. Thanks to some illustrated works by pastors freed from galley slavery, however, we can get some idea of what the preachers wore in those days.

‘The European Parliament operates as the gravedigger of European values’ — An Interview with House Speaker László Kövér

Béla Hamvas and the Critique of ‘Science–Religion’
