In medieval Hungary, communities that claimed a privileged status or attempted to preserve their own "liberties" often declared that the origin of their special status was to be attributed to King Saint Stephen.
Di Hongaria abad pertengahan, komunitas yang menuntut status istimewa atau berusaha mempertahankan kebebasan mereka sendiri sering menyatakan bahwa asal mula "status khusus" mereka dikaitkan dengan Raja Santo István.
