Šariš existed within the large county of Novum Castrum (Ujvár) in the 11th – 12th century. The author attempts to introduce more closely the crucial medieval royal estates of Lipovec and Solivar, which belonged to the domain of Árpád dynasty in 12th – 13th century. They were the part of the royal Šariš forest in the neighbourhood of the Slanské Hills. The proof of the existence of the royal Šariš forest can be found in historical sources in which it is mentioned mostly under the Latin term locus venationis or under the local Hungarian names, such as Nerlezhygh, Nyrlezhege, Nyrlyz; Bichachlesi, Bykachleswy, Bykachlesy; Keralzalasa, Kyralzallasa; Hulloudzalasa. All those names and terms suggest the existence of royal hunting lodges which were connected with royal road (via domini regis, magna via, via regalis) that kings used to move from one royal demesne to another. The royal roads linked the royal courts, villages and royal forests, where Hungarian rulers resided mostly because of hunting. On Árpád dynasty lands in middle Šariš, one could find churches or chapels the patrons saint of which were the saints symbolizing the dynasty tradition and the cult of saints from the royal family (Saint Stephen, Saint Imrich and Saint Ladislav). The historical presence of the churches demonstrates that the mentioned estates belonged to Árpád dynasty in the 12th century, if not sooner.

This study deals with a royal charter of 1247 issued by Béla IV due to a dispute of the Cistercians of Bardejov with Germans over their border. The original is not extant, only its transcription of 1500 is available. In Slovak historiography, the charter was considered to be a forged or interpolated one, or even a late forgery. Although this opinion prevailed among the historians for a long time, the criticism of its authenticity was based on unsupported and unconvincing arguments. An in-depth diplomatic and historical analysis of the charter, however, does not confirm the aforementioned presumption since it does not exhibit any serious deviations in form or content from the other Árpádian charters of the thirteenth century. The Bardejov Charter is a typical example of a medieval source in whose research the conclusions of earlier historiography completely pushed the newer attempts at the further diplomatic analysis of the document into the background for a long time.

The author of this study is concerned with researching the Bereg royal estate, which formed part of the frontier regions of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. In the 11th century Bereg belonged to the great frontier county of Boržava, but formed an independent territory within it. A separate county organization under noble control was established in it only later. Its centre was a royal manor, where the kings of Hungary settled people of German origin in the first half of the 13th century. Its importance mainly lay in the fact that it was a dynastic property of the House of Arpád at least from the 11th century. It was a part of the Carpathian Mountains dominated by forests. Members of the Arpád dynasty often went there to hunt. In Western Europe such properties were known as forestes and the prerogatives of the monarch prevailed there. It is very probable that forest properties of the dynasty including Bereg were also protected by special rights of the monarch in the Kingdom of Hungary. According to all the evidence, Bereg was a royal forest where members of the Arpád dynasty hunted, and it had an internal organization similar to that known from Western Europe.
