Csanád (Chanad) County in 1370

The Chanad or Csanád County (Template:Lang-la) was a county of the Kingdom of Hungary in the High and Late Middle Ages. It was established after Csanád (the eponymous founder) had defeated Ajtony, and the bishopric of Csanád was founded in the 11th century.

History

It was established after Magyar nobleman Csanád (the eponymous founder) had defeated Ajtony, who had ruled over the region now known as Banat (in Romania and Serbia).[1] At urbs Morisena, which was given the name of Csanád, a Roman Catholic bishopric was immediately founded, headed by Gerard.[2][page needed] By that time Csanád had been baptized and become the head of the royal county (comitatus) organized around the fortress at Csanád.[3][page needed]
