サマリー
あらすじ・解説
This episode based on a chapter written by Király András and translated by Gabriel Roman describes the history of the city of Arad, tracing its origins back to the medieval settlement of Orod. It discusses Orod's development around a fortress and ecclesiastical center, its mention in royal documents from the 12th century, and its later decline, including its fate during Tatar and Ottoman invasions. The text highlights the formation of the new city of Arad in a different location under Ottoman rule, its subsequent control by the Habsburgs, and its growth into a multi-ethnic settlement, including distinct Serbian and German quarters. It details the challenges the city faced, such as wars, floods, and epidemics, before finally achieving the status of a Royal Free City in 1834, which brought significant self-governing rights and spurred further development.
