The absence in Medieval Hungary of fief holding and vassalage has often been cited by historians as evidence of Hungary's early ""deviation"" from European norms. This book argues that Medieval Hungary was, nevertheless, familiar with many institutions characteristic of noble society in Europe. Contents include the origins of the Hungarian nobility and baronage, lordship and clientage, the role of the noble kindred, conditional landholding, the organization of the frontier, the administration of the counties, and the establishment of representative institutions.
