Kingdom of Hungary

Kingdom of Hungary appears on the map from 1000 to 1943. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1487, it covered about 466,309 km².

The Magyars, horse-riding nomads speaking a Finno-Ugric language, crossed the Carpathians around 895 under Grand Prince Árpád and settled the Danube basin, raiding deep into Europe until their defeat at Lechfeld in 955. Árpád's descendant Stephen converted to Latin Christianity and was crowned king in 1000, founding a kingdom organised into counties around royal castles. Hungary joined with Croatia in 1102, survived the devastating Mongol invasion of 1241, and under the Angevin king Louis the Great and the Renaissance ruler Matthias Corvinus became a great power of central Europe. After the Ottomans killed King Louis II at Mohács in 1526 the kingdom was split; the Habsburgs inherited the crown and later reconquered the whole country. More about Kingdom of Hungary.
