A. The Emperor of Austria was also the king of Hungary. Under this 'Dual monarchy'. While Hungary had its own parliament, the Austrians were in full control of defence and foreign affairs.

There were earlier "Kings" of Hungary. But the Hapsburg family's "staying power" and ability to get rid of their rivals, is beyond belief; and they gutted the Hungarian royal family very early on, by inter-marriage and other means.





Although it was officially called the dual-monarch, all real power was resident at Vienna.
