in the gallery one building termed as medieval, the 1st, actually a "cheap" 19 century --Vargatamas 23:16, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] verification

please, make a note to the statement "and issued the first document listing the city's Romanian name, Sighişoara." The Hungarian charters were issued by officials of the Kingdom of Hungary in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary not by foreign citizens, so it is inprobable it was a charter. It could be a letter?

Please, anyway, put the libary it is stored or some reference.

Otherwise it is unlikely, that he used the Romanized Hungarian name (Segesvar=> Sigisoara quite close) not the German name Schäßburg, who actually populated the town (until the medieval town rights were abolished in 1848). The town was under the jurisdiction of the elected Saxon count who reported to the Vajda / from Slavic voivode/ and no Hungarian was between in the hierarchy. So I assume the Romanian name is much younger, where it could be taken from Hungarian --Vargatamas 10:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
