APOSTOLIC MAJESTY, a title borne by the kings of Hungary. In A.D. 1001 it was conferred by Pope Silvester II. upon St. Stephen (975-1038), the first Christian king of Hungary, in return for his zeal in seeking for the conversion of the heathen. It was renewed by Pope Clement XIII. in 1758 in favour of the Empress Maria Theresa and her descendants, and borne by the emperors of Austria as kings of Hungary until 1918.
