the 14-15th centuries the Saxons lived not only in privileged Saxon territorial units, but also in counties. In this age Saxon settlements did not have a common name, they were governed independently. Actually the "seven chairs" included eight ones: 1. Szeben chair, 2. Újegyház chair, 3. Szászsebes chair, 4. Nagysink chair, 5. Segesvár chair, 6. Szászváros chair, 7. Szerdahely chair, 8. Kőhalom chair. The "two chairs" included Medgyes chair and Selyk chair. The region of Beszterce and the Barcaság did not belong to any of the chairs.
