The Seklers live in territories furthest east in the Carpathians. They played an extremely important role in the history and intellectual life of the Hungarians. The medieval autonomy of Seklers and their military democracy were unique and similar organizations did not appear in the feudal Europe. Up to the 14th century the term Seklers \u2013 siculitas \u2013 meant gentry. Carved Sekler gates substantiate an unusual folk consciousness.
