Abstract

Aristocracy Declines in Hungary
February 12, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

Speaking at a recent meeting of the Hungarian United Government Party, Count Bethien foreshadowed the possibility of the abolition of the institution of entail in Hungary. The kings of Hungary had the right to declare the huge estates of some of the prominent noblemen as inalienable, the eldest son inheriting the entire entailed fortune. A commission is now investigating whether this privilege should be maintained or abolished. This is a very remarkable development, because Hungary has often and accurately been called the last bulwark of feudalism.
