ity, Hungarians, earlier known only from military con icts, developed increas-

ingly complex ties with Western European regions.  is brought about abetter

 ow of information, which had asigni cant impact on the increasing preci-

sion (and decreasing generalisation) of Western chroniclers about the history of

Hungarians from the eleventh century onwards. 3. Inmedieval Western histo-

riography, con icts between Western Christian communities were simpli ed to

struggles between one warring party  ghting for universal truth and the enemy

of these universal values. Inthese cases, the descriptions were in uenced by the

political agenda of the chroniclers, rather than the contemporary image of Hun-

garians (if there was one at all).  e materials examined in both parts of this

study have one thing in common: Hungarians, most often mentioned as the

enemy in the context of military events even after 1000, are described in anega-

tive tone in the majority of the texts examined.

Radek, Tünde:  e Image of Hungarians in Medieval German

Historiography from an Imagological Perspective (1150–1534)

 is study presents the conclusions of research conducted in the  eld of the

Hungarian image in medieval German-language historiography (universal, pro-

vincial/regional, monastic/abbatic and city chronicles).  e texts were selec-

ted along two criteria: the use of vernacular on one hand, and chronological

and geographical parametres on the other.  e earliest source examined is the

Regensburg Kaiserchronik (c. 1150), the latest is Hans von Haug zum Freystein’s

Hungern Chronica (1534).  e study aims to explore the image of Hungarians,

shaped by the contacts between the two peoples and subsequently integrated

into sources, as well as its manifestations in available materials.  e methodo-

logy is based on imagology, focusing on those ‘images’ of nations and peoples,

which are contained in texts either explicitly or implicitly, and which have the

capacity to become the means to typify those.  is methodology entailed the

survey and collection of ‘imagotypical’ elements concerning Hungarians in the

selected texts, which was followed by the descriptive phase of research, whereby

these elements were organised and analysed thematically. Adapting Reinhart

Koselleck’s theory of ‘assymetrically contrary conceptual pairs’, the analysis of

the imagotypical elements of these texts revealed three assymetric and mutually

opposing pairs: Western–Eastern, Christian–Pagan, and moral–amoral.
