Uralkodója

Uralkodója is a Hungarian term that translates to "ruler" or "monarch" in English. It specifically refers to the supreme sovereign of a state, typically a kingdom or empire. The term implies a hereditary right to rule, though in some historical contexts, elective monarchies also existed where the uralkodója was chosen from a select group. The authority and power of an uralkodója varied greatly throughout history and across different regions. In some cases, they held absolute power, while in others, their authority was limited by a constitution, parliament, or powerful nobles. The uralkodója was often seen as the embodiment of the state and its people, and their reign was a significant factor in shaping the political, social, and cultural landscape of their domain. The concept of an uralkodója is deeply ingrained in Hungarian history, particularly during the centuries of the Kingdom of Hungary, where monarchs like Saint Stephen and Matthias Corvinus left indelible marks on the nation's development.
