Dragutin Károly Khuen-Héderváry, also known as Károly Count Khuen-Héderváry de Hédervár (23 May 1849, Bad Gräfenberg (Czech: Jeseník), Austrian Silesia – 16 February 1918, Budapest), was a Hungarian politician, the ban of Croatia in the late nineteenth century. He succeeded the temporary reign of Ban Hermann Ramberg in 1883. Khuen's reign was marked by a strong magyarization.

[edit] Life

Károly Khuen-Héderváry was born as an oldest son of the 7 children between Hungarian magnate Antal Khuen (1817 - 1886) and his wife Angelika Izdenczi (1823 - 1894).

During his time as ban, the Hungarian language came into official use and Hungarian symbols were brought alongside the national symbols of the Croats. Khuen was forced to deal with many protests, including one during the 1895 visit of King Franz Joseph. At the opening of the Croatian National Theatre which the King was attending, a group of students burned the Hungarian flag beneath the statue of Ban Jelačić.

After a series of riots broke out against him in 1903, Khuen was relieved of his duty and appointed prime minister of Hungary. He served twice as Prime Minister of Hungary before World War I.
