Visegrád is the most enigmatic town in medieval Hungary. It was the site of the royal residence (palace and castles) of the Angevin dynasty and for most of the fourteenth century it was the capital of the kingdom. This flourishing period and the co-existence of a royal residence with the town was the result of its central position in the Kingdom of Hungary. It is challenging to explain Visegrád's rise and decline between the early fourteenth century and the Ottoman occupation three hundred years later. Why did Visegrád became a royal seat, how did it function as such, and what happened to the town after the moving of the royal court to Buda? These questions are raised in this volume with an analysis of the urban development factors, which include the interpretation of the location, topography, population, churches, public and private buildings. This first English language monograph concerned with the urban settlement of medieval Visegrád consists of an analytical part, which explains the process of administrative topographical development. It also publishes English summaries and full-text Latin editions of the medieval documents that contain relevant information on Visegrád's topography and ecclesiastic institutions. The complex analysis of the medieval town, thus, is based on the interpretation of charter evidence and analysis of the archaeological investigations carried out in the area of the settlement of Visegrád and in connection to the excavations of the royal palace and castle. These results are contextualized in the framework of the development of towns in medieval Hungary, and in the European research of residences and urban settlements. With the previous volume of the same series on the royal palace, this monograph offers the most complex picture on the interaction of royal residence and urban settlement in medieval Visegrád.

Visegrad stands out among the medieval sites of Hungary and the royal palace complex can be regarded as one of the most important monuments for the artistic and architectural production of the royal court during the period of the late Middle Ages. The size and the complexity of the palace would in itself ensure that the Visegrad royal residence became one of the principal sites of Hungarian medieval archaeology. The palace was continuously built, altered and enlarged for two hundred years, and emerged as a sophisticated complex of dwelling rooms, spaces of status display, ecclesiastical buildings (royal chapel and Franciscan friary), kitchens, workshops, storage buildings, gardens, loggias, balconies and fountains. Its ruination was also a long process that took three hundred years. Although this slow process caused immeasurable damage, it also helped to preserve the traces of medieval life in the monument, which in case of buildings continuously inhabited are usually swept away by modern use and later architectural changes. The Visegrad Palace, however, was not used by anyone after the Middle Ages. Its ruined buildings were not utilized for any other purpose, and so the later alterations were minimal. Its rediscovery, excavation and reconstruction has been a task of twentieth and twenty-first-century archaeology and heritage protection, and the monument provided an opportunity to study a medieval complex almost undisturbed. The excavations at the Visegrad Palace also served as one of the most significant steps in the development of medieval archaeology in Hungary. This volume is the first comprehensive monograph on the archaeological investigations, objects, finds, reconstruction and restoration of the palace complex published in English. It is also a revised, extended and in some other parts compressed version of a volume published in Hungarian in 2010. It offers a summary of the previous and recent excavations since 1934 and the interpretation of the palace in its European archaeological and art historical context. It also contains the functional analysis of the palace complex and the discussion of the interactions between the residence and the Franciscan friary. Some chapters focus on the most important group of finds (pottery, stove tiles, worked bone material, etc.) along with their detailed catalogue.

Medieval Buda in Context discusses the character and development of Buda and its surroundings between the thirteenth and the sixteenth centuries, particularly its role as a royal center and capital city of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. The twenty-one articles written by Hungarian and international scholars draw on a variety of primary sources: texts, both legal and literary; archaeological discoveries; architectural history; art history; and other studies of material culture. The essays also place Buda in the political, social, cultural and economic context of other contemporary central and eastern European cities. By bringing together the results of research undertaken in recent decades for an English-language readership, this volume offers new insights into urban history and the culture of Europe as a whole.

The book provides an overview of the floods and major hydrological changes that occurred in the medieval Hungarian kingdom (covering the majority of the Carpathian Basin) between 1000 and 1500 AD. The analysis was based on contemporary documentary evidence presented for the first time and the results of archaeological and scientific investigations. Beyond the evidence on individual flood events, the book includes a comprehensive overview of short-, medium-, and long-term changes detected in a hydrologically sensitive environment during the transition period between the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. It also discusses the possible causes (including climate and human intervention) and the consequences for the physical and human environment, namely the related hydro-morphological changes, short- and long-term social response, and human perception issues.

Now recognised as the standard work on the subject, Realm of St Stephen is a comprehensive history of medieval Eastern and Central Europe. Pal Engel traces the establishment of the medieval kingdom of Hungary from its conquest by the Magyar tribes in 895 until defeat by the Ottomans at the Battle of Mohacs in 1526. He shows the development of the dominant Magyars who, upon inheriting an almost empty land, absorbed the remaining Slavic peoples into their culture after the original communities had largely disappeared.
