History
The name Szabadszentkirály (Szentkirály) was first mentioned in charters in 1326 as Bart. Between 1332 and 1335, it was referred to in the form Bart. (sac.) de S. Rege. In 1326, a priest representing the Pécs chapter was mentioned. The nobility of the village is said to have been granted by King Zsigmond. The settlement remained inhabited during the Ottoman era. [1]
In 1681, they received a new deed from King Leopold I, which was announced at the county assembly of Baranya in 1697. However, since the deed did not list names but only mentioned the nobles of Szentkirály, the county assembly instructed them in 1716 to individually prove their noble lineage. Seeking royal protection again, especially because the chapter forced them to perform serf duties, they turned to King Charles III. In 1720, Charles III reaffirmed Leopold's deed and instructed the county to defend them against any violence. A committee was sent out, which in 1721, based on documents and testimonies, established the nobility of 15 families. This recognition was reaffirmed during general noble investigations in 1725. The Roman Catholic church was built in 1849. In the early 20th century, it belonged to the Szentlőrinc district of Baranya county. [1]
In the 1910 census, it had 849 residents, of whom 833 were Hungarian, including 836 Roman Catholics, 6 Reformed, and 6 Jewish. In the 2011 census, 89.2% of the population identified as Hungarian, 9.9% as Roma, 1.3% as Croatian, 1% as German, and 0.3% as Romanian and Serbian each (10.8% did not declare; due to dual identities, the total percentage may exceed 100%). The religious distribution was as follows: Roman Catholic 69.3%, Reformed 3.8%, Lutheran 0.4%, and 5.9% unaffiliated (18.9% did not declare). [1]
