Establishment of The Title
Before the 1000 AD, Hungary wasn't yet recognized as a Kingdom and the ruler of the Hungarians was styled Grand Prince of the Hungarians. The first King of Hungary, Stephen I. was crowned on 25 December 1000 (or 1 January 1001) with the crown Pope Sylvester II had sent him with the consent of Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor.
Following King Stephen I's coronation, all the monarchs of Hungary used the title of "King". However not all rulers of Hungary were Kings for example Stephen Bocskai and Francis II Rákóczi were proclaimed rulers as "High Princes of Hungary", and there were also three Governors of Hungary, sometimes styled as "regents", János Hunyadi, Lajos Kossuth and Miklós Horthy.
