Her first step was to fly to Hungary and throw herself on the mercy of the Mogyars. Hungary had little reason to love Austria or Austrian ruiera, But the Queen had made no error In her judgment of the national character.

The condition of the poor waa alle- viated, feudal abuses checked and other radical reforms instituted.
