Order of Vitéz

OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE TRIBAL CHIEFDOM OPERATING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

The Order Of Vitéz (Vitéz Rend) is an organization founded in 1920 by Miklós Horthy, Regent of Hungary,  to honor the bravest and commemorate sacrifices. Its core principles include the importance of religion, nation, and family. The Order aims to preserve Hungary's national sovereignty, respect national values, and support a Christian way of life.

THE SHORT HISTORY OF THE ORDER OF VITÉZ

Decades have passed since, following the defeat in World War I and the ignominious communist regime, Trianon Hungary re-established its national governmental bodies as an independent and sovereign state. The circumstances are well known. The economy of a country exhausted to its limits during the war lay in ruins, further deteriorated by the bourgeois revolution and the Hungarian Soviet Republic. The Treaty of Trianon, which handed over two-thirds of the country to foreign hands, pushed the nation to the brink of collapse. The political parties in the new parliament understood that the dire situation could only be overcome with strong leadership, though opinions were divided on where this power should be concentrated. Some wanted a strong government, others favored parliamentary control, while a significant group of politicians supported Rear Admiral Miklós Horthy, then Minister of War, concentrating power in his hands. The result was a compromise. Miklós Horthy became Regent, but did not receive actual power, yet the government and parliament could not govern or legislate without the Regent's consultation. There was consensus among the three state authorities—governor, parliament, and government—that soldiers who displayed heroism during the war and under the communist dictatorship, as well as the widows and orphans of fallen heroes, should receive material and moral recognition to compensate for their immeasurable suffering and loss. The commune revealed the immense hunger for land among the destitute peasants, and it was clear that the era of the vast estates reminiscent of the Middle Ages was over. A land reform was unavoidable if the new government wished to establish governance based on some form of social agreement. Rewarding war heroes with land was a long-standing tradition in Hungarian history, and during World War I, two decrees were issued to provide land grants to the relatives of the fallen and to those distinguished by their bravery, provided they were of peasant origin and adequate state land reserves were available. During the bourgeois revolution in 1918, land reform was already announced, initially involving voluntary land offers and later expropriation with compensation for holdings above a certain size. The civilian government established in 1919/1920 thus considered it a paramount task to enact a land reform law that would quell the discontent of the peasant masses, reward those distinguished by their heroism in the war, and firmly align these groups with the government while not excessively harming the interests of the landowners who supported the government. To achieve this, the support of the military leadership and armed forces was essential. Since Miklós Horthy, then Minister of War, was an enthusiastic supporter of some reasonable land reform, the government, represented by Prime Minister Count Pál Teleki, asked Horthy to chair the committee tasked with drafting the land reform. Horthy gladly accepted this position. Under his chairmanship, the committee, composed of experts from various ministries, formulated the framework of the new legislation, which was ultimately finalized by Andor Börcsök, Chief Counselor of the Ministry of Justice. Meanwhile, in March 1920, Horthy was elected Regent by the parliament, but he continued to serve as chairman of the committee. The Regent, the Prime Minister, and the experts involved in drafting the legislation agreed that it would be more expedient to implement this new measure in the form of a prime ministerial decree given the time. Drafting a law would take longer, and during parliamentary debates, it’s possible that changes conflicting with the original objectives would need to be accepted. The government was authorized to regulate by decree under the 1920 Act VI, which extended the duration of exceptional powers for one year from the peace treaty. In this spirit, on August 10, 1920, the "Decree No. 6650/1920 issued by the Hungarian Royal Ministry (Prime Minister’s Office) on the donation and establishment of vitézi plots" was born. The creators of the decree knew that they had only enacted a temporary measure valid until the exceptional powers expired. Therefore, in Article 77 of the 1920 Act XXXVI, the legislation retained the decree in its entirety, without any changes. The cited statute reads as follows: "The provisions regarding war deeds and war leasing (Decree No. 1820/1917 issued by the M.E.), as well as the provisions on the supplementation of private law regulations regarding real estate (Decree No. 4420/1918 issued by the M.E.), and finally, the provisions on vitézi plots (Decree No. 6650/1920 issued by the M.E.) remain in effect. However, the provisions of this law on indivisible family estates may also be applied appropriately to war deeds." The referenced legislation laid the legal foundation for the operation of the Vitézi Szék.
