Written between 1282-1285, the "Gesta Hungarorum" is a historical
fiction of prehistory, medieval history and contemporary social
history. The author divides Hungarian history into two periods:
Hunnish-Hungarian prehistory and Hungarian history, giving a
division which persisted in Hungary up to the beginnings of modern
historiography. The text also illustrates the chronicler's
legal-theoretical framework of corporate self government and
constitutional law, inspired by French and Italian sources and
practice, which made this chronicle become an integral part of
Hungarian political theory as well as historical consciousness.
