Momente tensionate din istoria medievală a orașului Sebeș
Tense Moments of the Medieval History of Sebeș Town

Summary/Abstract: Inclined to seek moments of „crisis” in past societies, historians have produced numerous studies based on this concept, attributing to it various meanings— moments that generated change, moments that could have generated change, turning points, or those that created an imbalance within society. In the present study, the medieval history of the town of Sebeș is discussed through the prism of such tense moments − whether considered „crises” or not − events that generated or could have generated change, or even departed from the everday pattern, while also attempting to highlight how the community of Sebeș and the Transylvanian Saxons responded to these „challenges”.
