The Kingdom of Hungary had a strong system of estates within the Habsburg Monarchy, and this exerted a significant influence on the positions of free royal cities. The free royal cities enjoyed a large degree of internal autonomy until roughly the end of the seventeenth century, with little oversight or interference by the larger state. Since 1526, the cities had been members of the estates which had taken part in the Diets (the parliaments which could be regarded as the early modern form of the Hungarian), though they had played a minor role in comparison to the counties. In the last third of the seventeenth century, the system of estates underwent significant changes. The royal state came to exert more control, and in the free royal cities, the central administration began to play a stronger role as a force for oversight. The interests of the state administration now played an important role in the selection of the city’s leaders. The delegates who represented the cities in the Diets were also chosen according to these considerations. The local bodies of state administration were given major say in the selection of the representatives. As a consequence of this, delegates began to be chosen who were from different social backgrounds, including people who had different places within the system of the estates. While earlier, the individuals who had been sent to take part in the Diets had been members of the Lutheran bourgeois elite, from roughly the late seventeenth century onwards, members of the nobility living in the cities began to play an increasingly influential role. Many of the delegates from the city of Kassa (today Košice, Slovakia) who will be discussed in the analysis below came from families of non-noble origins which, however, had been granted nobility as a reward for the services they had performed in the chamber administration. The career paths for members of these families led either to administrative bodies in the city or back into state administration.

150 éves a Magyar Tűzoltóság. E neves évforduló alkalmából 2020. február 3-án a Belügyminisztériumban nemzetközi konferencia megtartására került sor. A rendezvényre az előzetesen felterjesztett témajavaslatom alapján kaptam meghívást, hogy prezentációs előadás keretében mutassam be a hazai gyártású, tűzoltásra használt oltójárművek fejlődését a 18. századi lóvontatású kocsifecskendőktől egészen napjainkig, az R16-os gépjárműfecskendők rendszerbe állításáig. Publikációm ezen előadásom írásos változata képekkel illusztrálva, neves szerzők kutató- és alkotómunkái alapján összeállított, korlátozott terjedelmű áttekintő szakanyag.
