Abstract

Based primarily on unpublished sources, this paper reconstructs the settlements associated with the Erdut manor and their tenants in the late 15th century. The introductory part is followed by a review of the sources used and the scholarly literature related to the topic. The central section of the paper begins with an overview of the medieval history of the Erdut estate, including its associated settlements, and the changes brought by the Ottoman conquests. Utilizing the census of 1480 in correlation with other medieval and early modern sources, as well as secondary literature, the author analyses the geographical location of the settlements and classifies the oeconyms. The discussion on the estate’s populace is based on the part of the census that records the number of tenants in each settlement, followed by a study on anthroponyms and an analysis of male personal names in the source. Finally, the paper provides a critical review of the research results.
