The author concerned himself with identifying, describing and explaining the exceptional phenomenon of the gradual introduction and changes of the Latin ethnonyms for the Slovaks in the Middle Ages, when they were named “Sclavi”, and especially in modern times when they appropriated the invented ethnonym “Pannoni”, and finally also “Slavi”. By giving up the ethnonym “Sclavi”, they wanted to escape from the interpretation “sclavus = slave, prisoner” familiar in the non-Slovak environment of the Hungarians and Germans. These ethnonyms are found in Latin texts of domestic Slovak and Hungarian or foreign Czech, Austrian and Polish origin. They took over the ethnonym “Sclavi” from the surrounding European environment, but the ethnonyms “Pannoni” and “Slavi” were their own linguistic initiative and product. It was only in the first half of the 19th century, when educated Slovaks gave up using Latin as the written, official language, that they abandoned the invented ethnonym “Slavi”. The ethnonym “Slováci” was normally used in texts written in Slovak from the 15th century.

In this study, the author presents his findings on the development of burghers and towns in Slovakia in the 14th century. It continues his research and publication on the development of burghers and towns from the 9th century. The sources of evidence are charters from the 14th century. The author has researched the development of the burgher class in dozens of towns of the period. He has come to the conclusion that burghers were developed in two ways, namely: privileged, on the basis of charters; or spontaneously without any written documents. This was how groups of burghers were developed in dozens of old towns and an even larger number of new towns in 14th century Slovakia. The most profitable employment of the burghers was trade. The most developed urban life was found in Košice and Bratislava, which were two of the most important towns in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 14th century.
