office
Főispán (Lord-Lieutenant)
lord-lieutenant
also: főispán, lord-lieutenant of the county
The főispán was the royal-appointed head of a Hungarian county, a prestigious post that combined administrative, judicial, and military authority; appointment was a major political prize in the Reform Era, which is why Széphalmi offers it to Andaházy.
Reading notes
- Only a Joke §2 lord-lieutenant
The főispán ('lord-lieutenant' or 'lord-lieutenant of the county') was the royal representative governing a Hungarian county; appointment to this prestigious office is what Széphalmi dangles before Andaházy in exchange for recalling Lorán.
