Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this thesis was to investigate and to write the history of the medieval settlement and town history of the Sand Ridges of Kiskunság [Kiskunsági Homokhátság], which had never been done before. This thesis identifies the Sand Ridges of Kiskunság as its target area. The methods, which have been used and developed simultaneously at the time of carrying out the present research, have also expanded and modified the name and the scope of the target area. In order to clarify the late medieval settlement system, the research needed an in-depth examination of both the 13thand the 16th century — which had been previously regarded as peripheral — similarly to that of the interim period. As a result of this, the time limits of the narrative had to be expanded towards the municipal systems of the Árpád age and the Turkish occupation as well.
