Formarea comitatelor în Banat, Crișana, Maramureș și Transilvania în secolele XI-XII
The Emergence of the County System in Banat, Crișana, Maramureș and Transylvania in the 11th – 12th Centuries

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the 11th century, the newly conquered territories had to be organized and included into the Hungarian Kingdom. The first step into incorporating this new land was the challenge of defeating the king’s rivalsin Banat and Transylvania. During the same century, the conquered regions began being organized into administrative units. The political climate and the internal instabilities led to a series of changes by the end of the century, increasing the efficiency of the Arpadian kings and empowering them with a better administrative, economic and judiciary control. By means of researching the primary sources – various collections of documents –, our paper aims to analyze these particular changes in the development of the administrative-territorial borders within the eastern parts of the realm, namely in the Banate, in Crișana, Maramureș and Transylvania.
