Summary/Abstract: Examining the origins and development of one of the royal properties in Šariš follows two phenomena. The first one is the transformation of the forest environment an into economically functio-nal housing estates – villa. The second one, happened in line with cultural, religious, political and econo-mic influences of the mid-13th to the mid-14th centuries. According to preserved documents it is possible to document the existence of settlements and their rela-tionship in a time-varying interface. On the basis of the knowledges of Hungarian customary law, it is possible to reveal the connections that make it possible to understand why settlements in a given location appear in one or another time horizon. This historical probe, based on the interpretation of written sources through Hungarian customary law, reveals the mechanism of settlement of the Delna River area during the 13th – 14th centuries. In this way, there is insight into the time of the commencement of the Šariš Committee. At the same time, it seems as if the discovery of the signet, that -has been the seal of the region is the basis for its originality. An origi-nality that has laid the foundation for events to this day and has given this region its face.
