Farcaş, also Farkas, Farkaş or Farcas, was a ''cneaz'' (local chieftain or ruler)〔 mentioned in a diploma issued by king Béla IV of Hungary (1235-1270) on 2 July 1247; the diploma granted territories to the Knights Hospitaller in the Banate of Severin and ''Cumania''. Farcaş held a ''kenazate'' which was given to the knights by the king.〔 His ''kenazate'' lay in the northeast of modern Oltenia (in Romania).〔 The diploma of Béla IV also refers to the ''kenazate''s of John and ''voivode'' Litovoi and to ''voivode'' Seneslau.〔 Seneslau and Litovoi are expressly said to be Vlachs ''(Olati)'' in the king's diploma.〔 Farcaş ''(Farkas)'' is a typical Hungarian name meaning ‘wolf’.〔 The Romanian historian Ioan Aurel Pop suggests that his name is mentioned in Hungarian translation in the diploma, and Farcaş's ''kenazate'' was one of the incipient Romanian states south of the Carpathian Mountains.〔 According to the Hungarian historian István Vásáry, Farcaş was either Hungarian or Romanian with Hungarian name, but the latter supposition is less probable, since ''Lupu'', the Romanian equivalent of Hungarian ''Farkas'', was used by the Romanians.〔 László Makkai proposes that the name of Vâlcea County could indicate the land of Farcaş (Slavic ''vlk'' (‘wolf’) > Vâlcea). == See also == *Foundation of Wallachia *John (knez) *Litovoi *Seneslau 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Farcaș」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
