Чанад
Stephen I of Hungary made Csanád the "ispán" (or head) of a new county, established in Ajtony's former realm, according to the "Long Life of Saint Gerard". The counties were administrative units organized around fortresses, which were initially all possessed by the monarchs. According to a widely accepted scholarly theory, Csanád County included the whole Banat at the time of its establishment. It was mentioned for the first time in a royal charter in 1165.
