Analysis of medieval walloon toponyms in Romania and Serbia
Bučko, Peter ; Ungureanu, Dan (advisor) ; Našinec, Jiří (referee)
This paper examines toponyms of Walloon origin in the area of today's Romania and Serbia, especially in the regions of the former Kingdom of Hungary. Walloons emigrated to Hungary mainly because of economic reasons, but here the important role played the popular devotion in the 11th century and the importance of pilgrim sites (Jerusalem or Santiago de Compostela). Number of pilgrimage has increased since 1018, when the route leading through Hungary to Jerusalem was openend. Large number of Walloons setteld in Hungary at this time. Present-day Wallonia in the Middle Ages belonged to the Holy Roman Empire. In the 11th century, as elsewhere in Western Europe, there was a famine and lack of land. Walloons have found their new home in Hungary, they were engaged in viticulture and trade. They also often named the new locations by the home sites of Wallonia. In Romania, the Walloon sites were situated near Oradea and Sibiu. Walloons have created a specific phenomenon - the fortified churches. Many Walloons also received a noble title. In the area of Serbia we are located Walloon settlements in Srem, especially speaking about the cities of Francavilla and Eng. Based on the tithes paid for the Papal Curia from 1332-1337 we can reconstruct demographic data.

Church Subsidies and Their Legal Development in Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia
Csukás, Adam ; Horák, Záboj (referee)
Church Subsidies and Their Legal Development in Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia The thesis aims to describe the historical background and legal development of natural church subsidies paid by the members of a parish to their priests in the area of Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia, with special regard to the late 19th and 20th centuries, up to 1949. Lecticale was a traditional institution of Hungarian customary law, implemented into Czechoslovak law following the declaration of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918. This legal institution was continuously adapted to the needs of actual legal practice until it was abolished by the communist regime in 1949, a year after the communist coup d'état of February 1948. It was typically adhered to by the Catholic Church and Evangelical Lutheran Church. As the contemporary awareness of lecticale is limited, the author decided to reveal the elements of the researched legal institution one by one, proceeding from very basic information to the most complicated problems of legal practice. Therefore, the beginning of the thesis deals with references to lecticale in numerous Hungarian church law textbooks. The treatise then moves to the 1880s, when the greatest controversies arose regarding the issue. The next part of the thesis deals with the etymology of the word...
