To uncover the story of the coronations in Bratislava, we first need to visit another city—a city in Hungary called Székesfehérvár. This city, rich in history, became the seat of Hungarian kings during the reign of King Stephen I in the early 11th century. It later became the first free royal town in the Kingdom of Hungary and served for centuries as the main coronation site of Hungarian monarchs. But history shows us that even the glory of Székesfehérvár eventually came to an end, and royal attention shifted to another city—Bratislava. How Bratislava became the new coronation city, what historical events led to it, and what these ceremonies looked like will be explained by Dr. Diana Duchoňová, Head of the Department of Early Modern History at the Slovak Academy of Sciences.
