This article examines the succession of Maria Theresia as ‘king’ of Hungary in 1741, by questioning the notion of the ‘king's two bodies’, an interpretation that has dominated the scholarship. It argues that Maria Theresia's coming to the throne challenged both conceptions of gender and the understanding of kingship in eighteenth-century Hungary. The female body of the new ruler caused anxieties which were mitigated by the revival of the medieval rex femineus tradition as well as ancient legal procedures aiming to stress the integrity of royal power when it was granted to a woman.

制作匈牙利玛丽亚·特雷西亚的“国王”

本文通过质疑“国王的两个身体”的概念，考察了玛丽亚·特蕾西亚在1741年成为匈牙利的“国王”的继承情况，这一解释主导了该奖学金。它认为，玛丽亚·特蕾西亚（Maria Theresia）登上王位既挑战了性别观念，也挑战了18世纪匈牙利的王权观念。新统治者的女性身体引起了焦虑，而中世纪的雷克斯·费米妮女性传统的复兴以及旨在强调王权授予女人时的完整性的古老法律程序减轻了这种焦虑。
