Product Description The medieval history of the Romanians in the Hungarian kingdom still represents one of the most delicate subjects in European history. This book is the product of more than thirty years of research, and thus provides new and balanced insights into that history, revealing both the rise and the decline of communities and individuals, as well as the diversity of these borderlands of Christian Europe. About the Author Ioan-Aurel Pop is member of the Romanian Academy and Director of the Center of Transylvanian Studies of the Romanian Academy, as well as the Rector of the Babeş-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca (Romania). For more than three decades he has researched European archives and libraries, focusing on the medieval and early modern history of East-Central Europe, and in particular of the Romanians, with special emphasis on social relations, political structures and ideological mechanisms.
