In April 1695, Ferenc Rákóczi II. arrived to the territory of their Szerencs estate with his family: his wife, brother and brother-in-law. They enjoyed the hospitality of the estate for almost half a year. The visit had its antecedents. The prince spent the former year on a cruise in Italy, arriving back from which his brother welcomed him with bad news: their family estates were waiting to be taken over in a dilapidated state. After this impression, the young Rákóczi decided to visit all his family estates. Many of the surviving documents from the visit in 1695 come from the accounts of the neighbouring Regéc estate. This is because food had been sent to Szerencs several times. In our study, we try to reconstruct the said visit on the basis of these resources, asking the question why the economic assistance of the neighbouring Regéc was needed. To answer this, we would try to outline the history of the Szerencs manor, starting from its inception, focusing on the allodial economic system.
