középkoron

Középkoron is a term used in Hungarian historiography to refer to the Middle Ages. This period, generally accepted to span from the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century to the Renaissance and Age of Discovery in the 15th century, represents a significant era in European and world history. In Hungary, the Middle Ages are particularly defined by the establishment of the Hungarian Kingdom in the late 10th century and its subsequent development over several centuries. This era witnessed the consolidation of royal power, the spread of Christianity, feudalism, and significant cultural and architectural achievements, including Romanesque and Gothic styles. Major events within the Hungarian Middle Ages include the Mongol invasion, the reign of Matthias Corvinus, and the gradual increase in Ottoman influence leading to the country's division. The legacy of the Középkoron continues to shape Hungarian identity and historical understanding.
