The coat of arms (15:58) in the middle is not a historical CoA of Hungary but rather relatively modern one. And it's not only of Hungary but of entire Transleithania i.e. Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen in the Habsburg Monarchy, later Austria-Hungary. It's actually made up of joint CoA's which are clockwise starting with upper right: Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia, royal city and port of Rijeka (all in Croatia) and Transylvania (today in Romania). Above it is an escutcheon of modern arms of Hungary which is still in use to this day.
The dynastic arms are from left to right: Arpad dynasty, Anjou dynasty (cadet branch of Capet dynasty that ruled France for over 800 years...including the Valois and Bourbon dynasty which were also their cadets), Hunyadi dynasty (although there was actually only one king from this family - Matthias Corvinus), Jagiellon dynasty (this is actually arms of them as kings of Poland and thus was not their family arms but rather that of Piast family who were the originally dukes and kings of Poland...which Poland also uses to this day), Zapolya dynasty (originally minor landowners from Croatia, this family became very powerful by late 16h century and in fact ruled the so-called "Kingdom of Eastern Hungary" under the vassalage to the Ottoman Turks) and finally the Habsburg dyansty (the arms are actually those of Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty who adopted the name Habsburg through marriage to the original Habsburgs who btw. ruled Austria, Spain, Hungary, Bohemia, Croatia, etc., the Habsburg-Lorraine family were actually known simply as 'House of Lorraine' or 'House of Alsace' prior to that and were Dukes of Lorraine since 10th century, Lorraine is today in France due to being conquered and incrpoted into France by Louis XIV "the Sun King" but originally part of the Holy Roman Empire).

[@leventeszimilko3594]

Pwnstar Bullshit..that's not true.

[@Rusty9017]

hungarianparliament.com/history/ , read , educate yoself if you feel the need ... also worthy of nottice that hungarian parliamentary sessions were primarily held in the town of Bratislava in eloquent Latin language rather than in Hungarian, which at that time did not have important words for discussing the matters of the state. So this building was basicaly just a show off.

You're mistaken, my friend. Several diets were held in Pozsony in the middle and in the early modern times, but don't forget, that several other diets were held in other towns. The Hungarian Parlament was built between 1885 - 1904, at the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The official language was Hungarian in the Carpathian Basin that time and all the sessions happened there, in Hungarian language, of course. The Building was built by Steindl Imre, who was Hungarian. :)
By the way, until 1920, in Pozsony, the majority of the population was german, about 50-60%, with 20-30% Hungarian minority.

It was built in 1885-1904 and 0 slovak lived here. Read about it from a normal site wich is not full of slavakian nationalist lies. Also in pozsony(bratislava for you) there lived 30000 german 33000 hungarian and 11000 slovak in 1920 :,D. And also if there wouldnt be any fight with the tartars or with the turks there would be nearly only hungarian people in that time. You have funny lies like you built Budapest :,D "it was yours" before our conquest there lived Slovaks , but the were a different etnich also in thoose days Budapest was nothing maybe a village.
