Years: 1225 - 1225
The foreign settlers in Transylvania include people from as far off as Flanders; and even Teutonic Knights returned from Palestine, who in 1211 had established the town of Kronstadt, Hungarian Brassó, now (Brasov, Romania), before a conflict with the king prompts their departure for the Baltic region in 1225.
Hungary's kings reinforce the loyalty of foreign settlers by granting them land, commercial privileges, and considerable autonomy.
Nobility is restricted to Roman Catholics and, while some Transylvanian noblemen have converted to the Roman rite to preserve their privileges, most of the Orthodox Transylvanians have become serfs.
