Kormányzó

Kormányzó is a Hungarian word that translates to "governor" or "ruler" in English. Historically, it has been used to refer to the person holding the highest executive authority in a particular territory or state, especially within the Kingdom of Hungary. The specific powers and responsibilities of a kormányzó varied depending on the historical period and the political structure in place.

During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hungary had a regent ( thống đốc or thống đốc đại diện) who acted on behalf of the monarch, but the term kormányzó could also be used for the head of government in certain contexts. In some historical instances, a kormányzó might have been appointed to govern a region or province with significant autonomy. The concept implies a position of leadership and administrative control, often with a degree of independence from direct royal rule, though ultimately subordinate to the sovereign power. The exact nature of the office was subject to the evolving political landscape of Hungary and its relationships with larger empires or powers.
