Az úrbéres lakosság életkörülményeinek differenciái a 18. századi birtoktípusokon
Differences in the Living Conditions of the Serf Population on 18th Century Estates

Summary/Abstract: An eight years of database building allowed us to combine settlement level conscriptions of plots and duties of pesant population and the landlords of the more than 8000 settlement of 18th century Hungary. Using the census data of Joseph II, the description of Vályi from 1797, the urbarial summary from 1786, and the so called Lexicon locorum with data on priests, schoolmasters, and spoken language (1773) we executed a quantitative analysis of historical data on services, taxes, duties, plot size and general living conditions on different estate types (private large lanholdings, state lanholdings, estates of the different churches, estates of petty nobility, aristocrats and bene possessionati) comparing the living conditions of serfs and cottars from many aspects.
