Tipologia mişcărilor sociale din Ţările Române în Evul Mediu şi la începutul Epocii Moderne
Typology of Social Movements in the Romanian Principalities in the Middle Ages and early Modern Era

Summary/Abstract: The study realizes a typology of the social movements that took place in the Romanian Lands during the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the Modern Age. Based on a structural analysis, the significant conclusions of the study disclose the causes, outbreak and development of the social movements. At first they aimed to stabilize the feudal relationships and the misuses of the landlords, but later, beginning with the 18th century, the social movements – and this is the case, in particular, of Horea’s Uprisal in 1784 – intended their abolishment, as well as the eradication of serfdom, as the majority of the peasants was made up of the serfs living on the noble, boyar, church and state domains.
