Project Description

Andrew II, 1205-1235, was politically corrupt and economically inept. His alienation of Hungarian nobility led to rebellion in 1213. The Servientes, the professional court soldiers, compelled him to sign Hungary’s equivalent of the Magna Carta, the Golden Bull, in 1222, guaranteeing their personal rights and the right of rebellion against the king and eliminating taxation of the nobility. Painting is detail of the full image. This painting is part of the Hungarian millecentennial historical suite in the Museum of Hungarian Military History in Budapest.
