A HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE ORIGIN OF THE GYPSY SLAVARY IN ROMANIAN COUNTRIES. CURRENT HYPOTHESES AND RESEARCH DIRECTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The origins of Gypsy slavery in Romanian countries in the medieval period are considered obscure and almost impossible to explain. Over the years, several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this social condition of the Gypsies, apparently unique in Europe. Most of these hypotheses lack a documentary basis and are in fact speculations of circumstantial evidence, being unable to provide a coherent explanation for the Gypsies’ enslavement.
