| Sources and notes: | |
| [1] | The resignation of Kossuth Lajos (effective 20:00 11 Aug 1849) authorized commander-in-chief of the Hungarian army Görgey Artúr (in full: görgői és toporczi Görgey Artúr) to assume military and civil power. Görgey proceeded with issuing a manifesto to that effect (dated 11 Aug 1849, at Arad), but hesitated to assume any state office until 13 Aug 1849 when he surrendered to the Russians who had invaded Hungary to help restore the Habsburg monarchy. |
