1176 - 1526                A political structure emerges in which the vajda, appointed  
                             by the Hungarian king, becomes progressively autonomous 
                             and an increasingly powerful diet is formed in which the 
                             "three nations" - Magyars, Széklers, and Saxons - are 
                             represented; the Magyars (Hungarians) include most of the
                             nobility; the Széklers, although ethnically related to the
                             Magyars, are of debated origins; the Saxons are the descendants

                             their current territories (Szápolyai in eastern and Ferdinand in
