[edit] Who paid taxes and went to war?

The nobles and the church were freed from all taxes...

Who remained to pay taxes? Only the cities and the free farmers? How many were of the later?

...and could not be forced to go to war outside of Hungary

Who did go to war? Was there a professional standing army financed from the treasury? Top.Squark (talk) 16:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


XXIV. Nor Jew or Ismaelite, can hold a public position (job). The Nobles of the Chamber, those working with monies, tax collectors and toll-keepers may only be Hungarian noblemen.

The word izmaelita seems to be mistranslated. According to the "Boszormeny" article the correct translation would be muslim: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6sz%C3%B6rm%C3%A9ny --Spamtramp (talk) 19:58, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

AFAIK, Ismaelite or Ishmaelite was a term used at one time by Christians to refer to Muslims (half-brothers Isaac and Ishmael being the supposed forefathers of the Jewish and Muslim peoples). -- Avocado (talk) 20:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
