Abstract

Brazil celebrates the 200th anniversary (1822) of its independence this year. For many in Hungary the Giant of South America means its prodigious beaches, landscapes, fantastic music, culture, legendary sport achievements, and unique gastronomy. In fact it should mean much more. It is so memorable that o Cristo Redentor do Rio de Janeiro was ‘dressed’ to Hungarian Tricolour in 2016 for the 100th anniversary of the coronation of Blessed King Charles IV of Habsburg (1916–1918) in Budapest. This year the President of Brazil, Jair Messias Bolsonaro made a historic state-visit to Hungary and in his press statement reffered to the Brazilian and the Hungarian nations as brothers. Brazil remained part of the Portuguese Empire until the beginning of the 19th century, of course during the long centuries Hungarians also came to there, but there was someone among them who made history; Archduchess Maria Leopoldina of Habsburg (1797–1826), Royal Princess of Hungary and Bohemia, who played a key role in Brazil becoming independent from Portugal. Part I of this study attempts to offer an overview of the legal and political position of the Habsburg dynasty in Hungary during the Napoleonic Wars, the constitutional system and the political situation in Hungary, the reason for the pro-Habsburg attitude of the Hungarian nation, and particularly the residing of the imperial and royal family in Eger.
