Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the imagological relations between Romanians and Hungarians in the Middle Ages. The main question of our study is whether there was ethnic discrimination in medieval Transylvania or whether the relations and the conflicts between Romanians and Hungarians were mainly of a social nature. The sources used are documents issued in the chancelleries of the Kingdom of Hungary, as well as linguistic and ethnographic sources.
