This is alist of Hungarian monarchs; it includes thegrand princes (895–1000) and thekings and ruling queens of Hungary (1000–1918).
TheHungarian Grand Principality was established around 895, following the 9th-centuryHungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin. TheKingdom of Hungary existed from 1000–1001 with the coronation of King Saint Stephen. TheÁrpád dynasty, the male-line descendants of Grand PrinceÁrpád, ruled Hungary continuously from 895 to 1301.Christianity was adopted as the state religion for the Kingdom of Hungary by KingSaint Stephen and the kings of the Árpád dynasty used the title of theapostolic king. The descendants of the dynasty gave the world the highest number of saints and blesseds from one family.[1] Therefore, since the 13th century the dynasty has often been referred to as the "Kindred of the Holy Kings". The Árpád dynasty ruled the Carpathian Basin for four hundred years, influencing almost all of Europe through its extensive dynastic connections.[2] The paternal lineage of the Árpád dynasty came to end in 1301 with the death of KingAndrew III of Hungary, and all of the subsequent kings of Hungary (with the exception of KingMatthias Corvinus) werecognatic descendants of the Árpád dynasty. In 1918, afterWorld War I, KingCharles IV "renounced participation" in state affairs, but did not abdicate. TheKingdom of Hungary existed as a country from 1920 to 1946, and officially represented theHungarian monarchy, but in reality there was no king.

TheHabsburgs tried several times to unite all Hungary under their rule, but theOttoman Empire prevented that by supporting theEastern Hungarian Kingdom. KingJohn I died in 1540, the Habsburg forces besiegedBuda the Hungarian capital in 1541, Sultan Suleiman led a relief force and defeated the Habsburgs, the Ottomans captured the city by a trick during theSiege of Buda and the south central and central areas of the kingdom came under theauthority of the Ottoman Empire, therefore Hungary was divided into three parts. The north-western rim of the Hungarian kingdom remained unconquered and recognised members of the House of Habsburg asKings of Hungary, giving it the name "Royal Hungary". The Eastern Hungarian Kingdom is the predecessor of thePrincipality of Transylvania, which was established by theTreaty of Speyer in 1570 and the Eastern Hungarian King became the firstPrince of Transylvania. The Principality of Transylvania was a semi-independent state, and a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, it continued to be part of the Kingdom of Hungary in the sense of public law,John Sigismund's possessions belonged to theHoly Crown of Hungary, and was a symbol of the survival of Hungarian statehood.
