Hungary at a glance –Medieval Hungary and its history

November 4th, 2021

Staying true to its mission of introducing international students to the culture, history, cuisine and landmarks of Hungary, the Stipendium Hungaricum Mentor Network has launched an educational video series covering nearly all aspects of the nation.

The episodes airing weekly on the network’s YouTube channel are the base material for an ongoing online quiz available on shmentor.hu with valuable and fun prizes to win at the end. The playlist now consisting of 25 episodes is expected to grow to a sizable 40 episodes covering Hungary with a voice-over from Dávid Kiss, the tourism coordinator of the network and breath-taking images showing the country’s charm and beauty.

The sixteenth episode of the video series is the next episode about the history of Hungary. In this chapter, you will go back in time until the foundation of the tribal Hungarian state which became an important power in early Central Europe. You can learn about famous kings and rulers from the millennial until the 18th century, such as Stephen (the first king of Hungary), King Matthias Corvinus (who reconstructed the Hungarian state) or Maria Theresa (famous for her significant education reforms).
