Counties (districts formed aroung royal fortresses) were the basic units of royal administration in the Kingdom of Hungary from the 11th century.[2] The fortress initially serving as the seat of Torda County was located at a distance of about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi)[3] from modern Torda (Turda, Romania) above the village Várfalva (Moldoveneşti) on the river Aranyos (Arieș).[4] A cemetery near the castle was used from the turn of the 10th and 11th centuries.[4]

The earliest royal charter mentioning the castle is from 1075,[5] but only its interpolated version has been preserved.[6] The earliest authentic charter referring to the same castle is dated to 1177.[7] Although the county itself was only first mentioned in 1227,[8] a reference in the charter of 1075 to taxes levied on salt at the castle implies the existence of a system of administration.[9] Reference to an unnamed[10] ispán of Torda was preserved in a charter from 1221.[3] The ispáns of Torda were appointed by the voivodes of Transylvania, the representative of the kings of Hungary in the province.[11]
