Abstract

The Archontological Data Bank of the Szabolcsian Haiduck Towns 1703–1711 The studies about the historical role of the seven Szabolcsian Haiduck towns (Böszörmény, Nánás, Dorog, Szoboszló, Hadház, Vámospércs, Polgár) are mostly concentrated around the 17th century. Therefore, the Rákóczi War of Independence period still has a number of open questions in store for the researchers. The archontological data bank covers the eight years of the War of Independence, laying the foundation of the urban elite’s identification. While collecting the names of the officers, we used the current literature data in addition to city documents, but the creation of the comprehensive list – due to resource facility – still awaits and requires further studies. The Haiduck towns elected their officials on an annual basis. They served the settlements from St. George’s Day (24th April) to St. George’s Day. The lieutenant was the leader of the city, and his work was helped by the minimum 12-member council, the town clerk, the street lieutenant and various supervisors. The current data bank is a good basis for further studies to present the urban elite.
