the bondsmen only to have somebody cultivating the estates. The author made an attempt at introducing the economic system after the settlement, but because of the poorness of sources it was not easily been reconstructed. He has cleared the administrative building of the town, the role of the tithes and the relation of the Heyducks to the nobility of County Szabolcs. The author gives attention to the explaining the relations of County Hajdu having settled on the issue of the three Powers —the Hapsburg Empire, the Turkish Empire and the Principality of Transylvania —to both the Hapsburg Empire and the Turkish Estate. He shows, that Hajdu towns in County Szabolcs, and thus the leading of Böszörmény were in a rather difficult situation, since their towns were on the territory of the so-called Partium, that alternately belonged to the Hungarian Kingdom or to the Principality of Transylvania. All these required great political caution and political sence of actuality. The author has pointed out, that within the society of Böszörmény acted both a pro-Hapsburg tendency and pro-Transylvania one, that although hadn't been hostile to each other, they holded different views in insecure positions. After the death of Gábor Bethlen (1629) such a difficult situation had developed, when the forces devoted to the Principality of Transylvania wanted the Partium to belong to the Principality of Transylvania in the future, too. It was the reason of the so-called third rising of the Heyducks, the leading force of which were the Heyducks living in Böszörmény. Though their undertaking wasn't successful, it took a great part in the accession of the House of Rákóczi to the throne of the Principality of Transylvania. After the rising under the captain-general's of Böszörmény leadership the forces devoted to the Principality of Transylvania moved to Dercske in County Bihar belonging to Transylvania. In all probability the most valuable part of the soldiers of County Hajdu left the town, that helped on spreading the free peasant propriership, and decline of the soldier's way of life. The Heyduck's rigths of Böszörmény was acknowledged on the side of the Hungarian Kingdom by Ferdinand II. in 1631 and 1632, too. This acknowledgement on the side of the Hungarian Kingdom secured the privileged position of the town practically for the next centuries of feudalism, too. 72
