Talk:Făgăraş

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(about Radu Negru), although Basarab I is traditionally known as the 14th century founder of the state.

Basarab I obtained the independence for the Wallachian state, but Wallachia already existed as a vassal of Hungary when he became its ruler. bogdan 13:50, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Transylvania, also called the Land of Vlachs"

Făgăraş was during the Middle Ages, together with Amlaş, a traditional Wallachian enclave in Transylvania, also called the Land of Vlachs (Romanians) in the 13th century.

It's quite unclear now, because one can read "Transylvania, also called the Land of Vlachs (Romanians)"... :-) bogdan 13:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I didn't want to change the sentence written by another editor, but you are right. My Hungarian sources referred to Fogaras and not to the whole of Tr. :-) --KIDB 13:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amlas?

A village of Amlas is also mentioned in this sentence. I wonder if the spelling is correct because it is very similar to "Almás" (meaning in Hungarian: "a place with apples") --KIDB 13:47, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Apparently, the name of the place are RO: Amnaş/Amlaş/Almaş, HU: Omlás, DE: Hamlesch and nowadays it's the area around Sălişte. There's an article in German wiki: de:Amnaş bogdan 15:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. Surprisingly, this also has a meaning in Hungarian: Omlás ~ slide/collapse/crumble --KIDB 15:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
