#erdély #székelyföld #székelyudvarhely is mentioned as Uduord in 1301. During the Árpád era, the settlement was probably called Telegd. In 1357, under the leadership of King Louis the Great, the first Székely National Assembly met here, which clarified the legal aspects of the Székely people, on the one hand, and the several castles of Transylvania, on the other hand. Székelyudvarhely was probably raised to the status of a city by King Zsigmond, who also visited the settlement when he had trouble with the Transylvanian voivode István, but the Transylvanian princes also granted all privileges to the town. The first castle of the locality was built around a former monastery in 1492. Close to the city is Budva, which according to legend is an old Székely castle. In 1558, the city was exempted from taxation by Queen Isabella. The Székely Attacked Castle was built by János Zsigmond to humiliate the defeated Szeklers between 1562 and 1565. It was destroyed in 1599 by the Szeklers who sided with voivode Mihály, and in 1616 it was burned by Pasha Ali. After 1621, Gábor Bethlen ordered the reconstruction of the fortress. In 1704, the castle was looted by General Tiege's army. Lőrinc Pekry, who recaptured the fortress, destroyed the castle with the Székelys, which from then on was called Csonkavár by the locals. Significant remains of the former fortification can still be seen today. During the county planning of 1876, the county of Udvarhely was established with a minor adjustment of the area of Udvarhelyszék, with the seat of Székelyudvarhely.
