Principality of Transylvania

Partium (Hungarian: Partium or Részek) is a historical region in the present-day territory of Romania that roughly corresponds to the contemporary Crişana region. The name derives from the Latin "Partium Regni Hungariæ," parts of the Kingdom of Hungary that were transferred to Prince John II Sigismund of Transylvania by the Treaty of Speyer (Spires) in 1571. Partium initially consisted of the counties of Máramaros (Maramureş), Middle Szolnok (Közép-Szolnok/Solnocul de Mijloc), Kraszna (Crasna) and Bihar (Bihor) and the Kővár region (Kővár vidéke), along with Szörény (Severin) and eastern Zaránd that were already part of John II Sigismund’s realm. These territories were ruled by Transylvania but were not formally part of the Principality (later Grand Principality) of Transylvania. The area of Partium fluctuated over time and was wholly overrun by Ottoman troops in 1660 but was back in Transylvanian possession by the end of the century. By the 18th century, the area had shrunk to Middle Szolnok, Kraszna, the Kovár region, and a rump Zaránd. With administrative reorganization within the Hungary in the middle of the 19th century, the Partium territories were incorporated into the Kingdom’s county (comitatus) system. With the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of World War I, the region was seized by Romanian troops in 1919 and officially ceded to Romania by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920.
