Terminological concepts Abstract In the historiography of the Middle Ages, the word kindred has multiple connotations, not only from a linguistic point of view, but also from an anthropological, social or juridical perspective. This paper is attempting to clarify the sense of this term and its usage in Romanian, in reference to the realities of the medieval noble society of Hungary. The medieval realities that are usually designated by the same term - kindred - are in fact different phenomena, specific to different periods of time. Therefore, the kindred of the 10-12th century is not the same as the kindred of the 13-14th century, and these two realities are both different from the kindred of the 15-16th century, analyzed by Erik Fiigedi. The attempt to draw the characteristics of the kindred in the 13-14lh century is limited by the content of the written sources. The information regarding the anthropological and social role of the kindred is poor and disseminated. Nevertheless, the juridical content of the notion can be retraced based on the medieval written sources. The inheritance law of the medieval kingdom of Hungary is centered on the kindred and its changes are determined by the evolution and the importance of the kindred during the two centuries. 18
