| | Transylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Transylvania was organized according to the system of Estates, which were privileged groups (universitates) with power and influence in socio-economic and political life, being nonetheless organized according to certain ethnic criteria as well. | | | The Edict of Turda is considered by mostly Hungarian historians as the first legal guarantee of religious freedom in Christian Europe. | | | It was one of the few European countries where Roman Catholics, Calvinists, Lutherans, and Unitarians lived in mutual tolerance, but Orthodox Romanians were denied equal rights. |

In spite of the brutal political and economical oppression of a Balkan force, Transylvania remained part of the Western Culture. | | | This secured free development to every ethnic group which asked permission to settle within the Hungarian borders. | | | Even those very few Hungarian-language schools which are still left to operate must teach this falsified history to their pupils, according to which Transylvania is the "original homeland" of the Rumanian people, and the Hungarians were the "intruders" who ruled the native Rumanians by terror. |

According to this theory, the Székelys or Szeklers are a Hungarian group that settled in Transylvania during this first migration. | | | There is also evidence that the Székelys are related to the Scythians or Sumerians who may have joined the Magyars on their trek westward. |
