DÁNIEL SIPTÁR The Monasticism’s First Wave of Settlement in the Recaptured Towns of the Transdanubian Region The study analyses the first three years of those monk’s settlements in the Transdanubian region, where the castles and the towns, were recaptured by Christians. The analysis is based on a monastic historical database, of which first part (the appendix of the author’s PhD dissertation) contains the list of monastic institutions in two decades from 1683 to 1703 in the newly recaptured Transdanubian region. The analyises is supported by a formerly developed interpretation framework, which summarizes the three basic conditions of estabilishing religious orders (external influences, competence of the given order and receptive environment), and finally those factors which influence the realization of these conditions. Of all the 19 examined religious orders that met the above mentioned requirements, the Order of Friars Minors (Franciscans) were the first religious orders, who settled down in Esztergom in 1683. At the latest the Society of Jesus and the Order of Friars Minors settled down in Nagykanizsa in 1690.

Accordingly, the new military leadership of cities, and later on the local representative of the Buda Chamber Administration, which was responsible for civil matters, handed a proper place e.g. a deserted mosque and its surrounding buildings over to the religious orders. This decision entered into effect by means of the King’s permission. The King ensured the monks’ costs of living through the above mentioned Chamber Administration by donating money for them on a fairly regular basis. However, the stabilization of the religious orders’ settling down was supported by the principles of the ecclestiastical patrons. These principles were often later formulated. Because of the muddled circumstances local people were not enough organized to prevent the settle down of religious orders. At the same time local churches supported the settle down of orders in the Hungarian Kingdom. Eventually, the religious orders did not have any claims: in order to stabilize their position they did not intend to get back their former holdings, they bore the initial hard circumstances, and instead of focusing on their financial interests,
