The formation of the monarchy of the estates, as a complex process, also could not be separated from the development of the geopolitical and social conditions in the southwestern corner of our continent, on the Iberian Peninsula. There, in the state development, the Kingdom of Aragon reached the furthest, as evidenced by its written sources. In our article, we do not intend to deal with the possibilities of comparison, nor with the question of which contemporary European letter of privilege may have influenced one (or possibly several) others. Instead, keeping in mind the peripheral familiarity of the Iberian Middle Ages in Hungary, we will try to bring the Aragonese example of medieval royal letters of privilege closer to the readers, primarily based on local bibliography. We do this by presenting the path and background leading to it, in the broader context of state development on the Iberian Peninsula.
