The book provides an overview of the floods and major hydrological changes that occurred in the medieval Hungarian kingdom (covering the majority of the Carpathian Basin) between 1000 and 1500 AD. The analysis was based on contemporary documentary evidence presented for the first time and the results of archaeological and scientific investigations. Beyond the evidence on individual flood events, the book includes a comprehensive overview of short-, medium-, and long-term changes detected in a hydrologically sensitive environment during the transition period between the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. It also discusses the possible causes (including climate and human intervention) and the consequences for the physical and human environment, namely the related hydro-morphological changes, short- and long-term social response, and human perception issues.

One of the first Hungarian historians to apply methods of the Annales school of French historiography, Fugedi (1916-92) here explores the life and customs of the medieval nobility, focusing on the Elefanthy kindred from what is now Slovakia. He compares the customary law for noble status, inheritance, and marriage as codified in 1415 and to documentary evidence, and finds that the legal literature differs in regard to social mobility and kindred solidarity. Translated from Az Elefanthyak: A kozepkori magyar nemes es klanja, published by Magveto, Budapest in 1992. No index. Distributed by CUP Services.
