Abstrakty
In the published paper, the author, a prominent Slovak medievalist, based on all the available period sources and the latest scientific research of the Slovak and Hungarian literature, analyses and synthesises the historical development of castles, castle counties and noble counties since Great Moravia until the first three (or four) centuries of the Kingdom of Hungary. Furthermore, he clarifies the historical development of the officers of these historical and administrative units and maps the main content of their operation based on the particular contemporary source examples. The historical and semantic explanation of the discussed concepts – as provided convincingly by the author – has a great significance in terms of establishing all the aforementioned concepts in the further development of the Slovak historical terminology, since there is no consistency among the historians regarding their use. In the study, the author states that the title “župani” (county heads, comites) had their origin in the princely and royal retinue (county, comitatus).They first surrounded a prince and then king, advising them and fighting for their interests. Several of them participated in the state administration, becoming the court and castle counts. The castle county in Hungary connected the county (vármegye) and royal county (várispanság) under the administration of the local county head. The royal county was a royal property subject to the castle, located both inside and outside the castle territory. Thanks to the royal donations, the royal county was giving way to the expanding noble county (nemesi megye).
