Pánya István: Fejér megye sold székének történeti földrajza István Pánya Historical geography of the Solt district of Fejér county The Solt district was the eastern part of the medieval Alba (Fejér) county, in the centre of the Hungarian Kingdom. The origin of the district leading to the end of the 13th century, when the royal counties transformed into nobiliary counties. This time, the influence of the nobiles in the eastern part had been increasing, and they had achieved relative independency from Fejérvár town, the centre of the county. That was the reason of the estabilishment of the Solt district. The existence of the district lasted from the beginning of the 14th century to the beginning of the 16th century. Around 1510 the district became an independent county, and because of the Turkish invasion it operated only for approximately three decades. Due to Turkish expansion the county administration was displaced to Eger, and in 1559 it was unified with Pest county’s administration by royal law. The political influence of the region was weak, as the society of the district/county consisted of landed gentries, who had only regional influence. The district’s history ended in 1659, when it was merged into Pest-Pilis-Solt county. The aim of this study is to research the administration and border changes of Solt district, later called Solt county. An interdisciplinary methodology and a unique GIS system were used that were developed to manage, model and display the medieval settlement database. 180
