  Abstract:  In this paper I aim to combine political history and topography to highlight a less frequently discussed role of the Franciscans and Dominicans in Hungary between the thirteenth and the sixteenth centuries: their houses as hosts of diets. In the centre of the Hungarian Kingdom in Buda and Pest Mendicant friaries hosted parts of the negotiations connected to diets on a number of occasions. Apart from that historical scholarship usually associates Franciscan friaries at Győr and Szeged as hosts to diets of 1455 and 1444, 1459 and 1495 respectively. Recent scholarship demonstrated that at least part of the diet held at Tata in 1510 was at the Franciscan friary. The paper apart from analyzing the surviving written evidence connected to the listed diets aims at drawing attention to the special role of these houses in the political life of the country.

Key words: Mendicant Orders, political history, topography, diets, Franciscans, Dominicans
