>>/50889/ She took some other measures that catered to the Hungarian nation (the noble nation). She created the Order of Maria Therese, a military decoration, and rewarded soldiers from all the empire as the Queen of Hungary. Then she created the Order of Saint Stephen, a civilian decoration. She also refreshed and old medieval award specifically for the Hungarian nobility. She was the one who organized the Hungarian noble bodyguard unit for the court, taken the youth sent from the Hungarian counties. Shel also did steps to mend the body of the country together. The 150 years of the Ottoman conquest and the following reconquest, or as some of the rulers thought about it: new conquest, did a number on the administration of the regions. She gave back the Banat to the country, and Fiume too. She reintegrated those towns of Szepes which were pawned by king Sigismund to the Poles over three centuries ago (on the occasion of the first partition of Polan...). She also created claims for the Hungarian crown onto Galicia and Lodomeria. I don't want to go into the whole story of her rule - or the problems that left unmended -, so I'll just end this here. Generally she remembered positively, especially considering she was a Habsburg, and and absolutist monarch. Although people don't pay much mind to her these days. I think all in all she was a positive force for the country, but then she recognized she needed to give something to gain support, and she needed a lot of support to keep her countries.
