Biographical sequences of nobles Flore in the 16th–17th centuries

Summary/Abstract: The family of Flore is documentary attested in 1528. The preserved documents do not allow us to reconstitute a coherent and complete genealogy, but come with information on anthroponyms, the way they were related to other families, their fortune and functions in the course of time. The existence of the eight individuals is unequally put in light by papers and their relationship is rarely specified. The family lived and integrated in a preponderant Romanian milieu. The family’s real patrimony consists in shares of villages, houses, and mills in the district and town of Caransebeș. The family got gold of those share through matrimonial alliances (wives’ dowry) or by holding them as security. The Flores and the strong family of Fiath of Armeniș were co-owners in 10-15 villages, a reason of lots of conflicts concerning the papers and right of owning. The family was deprived of the possession in the Banat in 1658 with the Ottoman conquest.The family’s members’ access to local dignities confirms the social ascension of the family: castellan of the district of Caransebeș and mayor of the homonymous town. The series of testimonies concerning the family of Flore’s presence in the Banat ends in 1700.
