The CollegeSince the fall of the monarchy in 1920, the College of the Hereditary Nobility of Hungary underwent two significant transformations. The post WWI period put the Hungarian Nobility into a chaotic state of confusion and before any significant activities could be achieved all of Europe found itself in WWII. Shortly after WW II, Hungary was absorbed under Soviet dominance. Nevertheless, for the next four decades, the Hungarian Nobility used the Riddarhustorget 10, (Swedish House of Nobility) in Stockholm for the center of their activities.In 1990, immediately after the fall of communism in Central - Eastern Europe vitéz Dr. BÉLA de KÉSZDY VÁSÁRHELYI de KÉZD (1906 - 2000); Knight Grand Cross of Justice with Collar of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM), Knight of the Order of Saint Constantine of Naples, and one of the key officials of the College of the Hereditary Nobility in Exile made available all references and works of the College so it could be reestablished.It took another 20 years before the sufficient material was in place and the College of the Hereditary Nobility of Hungary, in its present form, was re-established.
