Map of the Banate of Severin

The Banat of Severin also known as the Banate of Severin (Hungarian: Szörényi bánság / Szörénység / Bánság Olténia / Szörényvidék; Romanian: Banatul Severinului / Banatul de Severin; Latin: Banatus Zewrinensis; Bulgarian: Severinsko banstvo / Северинско банство); Serbian: Severinska banovina / Северинска бановина) was a political, military and administrative unit with a special role in the anti-Ottoman defensive system of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. It was founded by Prince Béla in 1228.

History

The Banat of Severin included areas of eastern Banat and western Oltenia. It was led by a ban, and the capital was at Turnu Severin (Hungarian: Szörényvár). The Banate of Severin was disputed between Wallachia and the Kingdom of Hungary.

After the 1526 battle of Mohács, the Banate of Severin was divided. Eastern part (eastwards from Vârciorova) came under the jurisdiction of Wallachian princes and in the western part (westwards from Orsova, inclusive) was gradually formed the Banate of Lugos and Karánsebes.
