1438 CE

The Transylvanian nobles form the Union of Three Nations in 1438, jointly pledging to defend their privileges against any power except that of Hungary's king.

The document declares the Magyars, Saxons (Germans), and Szeklers the only recognized nationalities in Transylvania; henceforth, all other nationalities there, including the Romanians, are merely "tolerated."

This union will successfully maintain special privileges and social status in its own community while provided by Hungary the Transylvania diet as a guarantee of self-rule within the Hungarian kingdom.
