  Abstract:  The Myth of the "Good Emperor" in Transylvania in 1848-1849. Following the establishment of the Habsburg rule in Transylvania (the end of the seventeenth century) and the Theresian and Josephinist reforms, the Transylvanian peasantry, and especially the Romanian one, developed the myth of the "good emperor". It functioned during Horea’s uprising and, afterwards, in the 1848-1849 revolution. Due to the political manoeuvres of the Vienna Court, concerned in gaining the support of the Hungarian political circles, the national-political interests of the Romanians were left aside, and, consequently, we witness the gradual erosion of the myth of the "good Habsburg emperor".
