Medieval Society and Power Elites in East-Central Europe. The Case of the Kingdom of Hungary until the End of the 13th Century. Historický časopis, 2025, 73, 3, pp. 417-458, Bratislava Abstract: Contemporary research on power elites and the formation of the nobility typically focuses on analyzing the specific social processes that lead to the structural transformation of ruling and warrior groups. Particular attention is often paid to origin, social status, economic foundations, wealth accumulation, and the participation of both court and regional elites in the exercise of power, with a special emphasis placed on the social mobility of lower social strata living on royal and ecclesiastical estates. The present study highlights the role of free warriors, who eventually developed into a legally defined and privileged landed nobility via processes closely tied to the broader social transformation of the High Middle Ages, occurring from the late 12th to the 13th century, which contributed to the emergence of the lower and middle nobility. A key factor in the social advancement of the so-called “new men” was their relationship with the king, which played a decisive role in shaping, modifying, and stabilizing political power structures. These transformation processes also influenced the configuration of power hierarchies, social stratification, and the social position of ruling and military groups. Keywords: Kingdom of Hungary.
