Page "Golden Bull of 1222" Paragraph 2

The charter's creation was influenced by the emergence of a nobility middle class, unusual in the nation's feudal system.

As a regular gesture of generosity, King Andrew often donated property to particularly faithful servants, who thereafter gained new economic and class power.

With the nation's class system and economic state changing, King Andrew found himself coerced into decreeing the Golden Bull of 1222 to calm the waters between hereditary nobles and the budding middle class nobility.
