The
Duke of Transylvania (; ) was a title of
nobility four times granted to a son or a brother of the
Hungarian monarch. The dukes of the first and second creations,
Béla (1226–1235) and
Stephen (1257–1258 or 1259, 1260–1270) of the
Árpád dynasty were in fact
viceroys with significant authority in Transylvania. The duke of the third creation,
Louis, did not administer the province. The fourth duke,
Stephen of the
Anjou dynasty (1350–1351) did not play any significant role in politics.
