History

The Banate of Lugos and Karánsebes was formed gradually between 1526 and 1536, after the battle of Mohács, when the Banate of Severin was divided. Its eastern side, from Orsova (present-day Orșova), came under the jurisdiction of the Wallachian ruler. In the western part, it was formed this new political and military border entity.

In 1658, the new Prince of Transylvania, Ákos Barcsay, ceded the region to the Ottoman Empire.
