Hungary in the late Middle Ages was not a nation state in the modern sense of the word, but a multiethnic country, inhabited by Hungarians, Croats, Romanians, Ruthenes and Slovaks, in which the Hungarian nobility held the dominant position. This situation was not unique, for the medieval period does not offer examples of national states. These terms should be viewed basically as indicators of geographic and not ethnic origin. An individual belonged to the "Hungarian Nation" if he or she resided under the authority of the king of Hungary (i.e., in the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen).
