Documents regarding Timiş County at the end of 16th century-early 17th century

Summary/Abstract: At the end of the 16th century, in the context of the Long War between the Ottomans and Habsburgs, the territory of Timiş County (nowadays Banat) was the subject of disputes between Christian and Turkish troops. The Transylvanian armies occupied a number of territories on the Mureş valley and nearby Timişoara, areas where nobles from the Principality received various donations. The territorial impact of Christian recoveries can be noticed by following these donations of Transylvanian princes. The Mureş Valley, a strategic route for the Transylvanian Principality, was almost entirely recovered. Although Timişoara could not be conquered, the Transylvanians imposed themselves on the west, south and north of the city by occupying some villages only a few kilometres from the city gates. The documents published in this study offer us the opportunity to investigate the social, military, political and economical framework of the province between Mureş, Danube and Tisza Rivers in the early modern times.
