With my blood, I swear to the judge and his jury my life to the end, in the pain of torture and death. The hematoid usually occurs in the ninth century under Prince Álmos, in Etelköz, before migration to the Carpathian Basin. The author of the Gesta — only known as “Magister P” and commonly referred to as “Anonymus” — told his story in his book. The Blood Oath (Hungarian: vérszerződés, lit. “blood”) was, according to tradition, a pact between the leaders of the seven Hungarian tribes, traditionally considered the first unwritten constitution of the Hungarian nation. Its history, as well as the terms agreed on it, is best known in the somewhat unreliable Gesta Hungarorum, a chronicle written between 1196 and 1203 and which can therefore be influenced by the laws and customs of the twelfth century. The oath was sealed by the seven rulers – Álmos, Előd, Ond, Kond, Tas, Huba and Töhötöm – by cutting off their arms and leaving their blood in a cup. Becoming blood brothers is probably traditionally used to seal exceptionally strong oaths, and there must have been several similar oaths, but the phrase “hematoid” normally refers to that of the seven rulers. In Australia, decisions about the blood supply are the shared responsibility of Commonwealth, state and territory governments under the National Blood Accord. The description of the Eid ceremony reflects the political and social changes during Anonymus` lifetime. The growing power of the nobles and their need to codify their rights culminated in the publication of the Golden Bull of 1222. Several historians have concluded that Anonymus` intention, in the minutes of this agreement, was to express the social changes during his own period and to support the struggle for the rights of the nobility as a kind of historical justification.

According to the historian István Nemeskürty “The objective of Magister P. (Anonymus) is supposed to justify the rights and claims of the Hungarian nobility of the thirteenth century and create for all his friends and family a line that goes back to the conquest. Although Anonymus points out that his works are based on written sources, he wanted to create a literary work in the style of his time. [4] Introduction National Blood Supply PolicyThe main objectives of Australian governments under the national blood regimes established by the National Blood Agreement are to provide an adequate, safe, secure and affordable supply of blood products, blood-related products and blood-related services in Australia; and to promote the safe and high-quality management and use of blood products, blood-related products and blood-related services in Australia. . . .
