Summary/Abstract: The article claims that through analyzing the legislation of Hungary's first mon-arch Istvan I, one can specifically notice the realization of the principle ubi civitas, ibi ius. Namely, while setting the foundations of the state (civitas), the first Hun-garian souvereign, being gifted with a very broad European culture, managed to take into account both the universal nature of law and the necessity to preserve the national traditions of his people. The modern and global views of Istvan I, who successfully united Ius Romanum – or to be precise Ius Graeco-Romanum – with the legal customs of his own people, played a vital role in connection to Hunga-ry's European integration at that particular era.
