 The other Estates were Saxons, Székelys and Romanians (or Vlachs - "Universitas Valachorum"), all with an ethnic and ethno-linguistic basis ("Universis nobilibus, Saxonibus, Syculis et Olachis").The general assembly ("congregatio generalis") of the four Estates had mainly supra-legislative powers in Transylvania, but it sometimes took measures regarding order in the country, relationships between the privileged, military issues, etc.The turning point in the history of the Romanian population in Transylvania was in 1366, when through the Decree of Turda the king Louis I Anjou of Hungary redefined nobility in terms of membership in the Roman Catholic Church and, thus specifically excluding the Eastern Orthodox Romanians.
