In Transylvania in the Second Half of the Thirteenth Century Tudor Salagean describes the rise of Regnum Transilvanum, a historical link between the early medieval regnum Erdewel of duke Gyula and the early modern Principality of Transylvania.

In Transylvania in the Second Half of the Thirteenth Century Tudor Salagean describes the deep transformations of a country that was the scene of a fierce resistance against the great Mongol invasion of 1241-1242. In the second half of the thirteenth century, with the rise of the provincial nobility, Transylvania redefines its internal political system, which reached its maturity during the rule of Ladislas Kan (1294-1315). The appearance of a complex congregational system, also achieved in this period, is connected with the assertion of Regnum Transilvanum, which represents a historical link between the early medieval regnum Erdewel of duke Gyula and the regnum transsilvaniensis of the Union of 1459, announcing the rise of the early modern Principality of Transylvania.

Tudor Salagean is an associate professor of Heritage and Medieval History at the “Babes Bolyai” University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and also the manager of the Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography. He is the author of a number of monographs and articles on Transylvanian history and heritage.
