Abstract. The aim of this study is to present the testament of the Transylvanian Prince Gábor Bethlen in a descriptive and – within the limits of the scope of the study – analytical, if sketchy manner, and therefore it is necessary to discuss its historical, legal-historical, and sociological aspects. In addition to the foregoing, the study outlines the specific features of the princely testament, which, given its special nature, has not been the subject of academic research to date. Following the content of the testament, the study describes the prince’s commitment to religion, the geopolitical status of the Principality of Transylvania, the religious freedom in medieval Transylvania in relation to the four established religions, the prince’s activities to promote education, and the succession of princely power. A further aim of the study is to apply the comparative method to the princely testament and the testament in the modern sense. To achieve these aims, the literature will include works by eminent scholars and legal historians.

Keywords: Gábor Bethlen, religion, religious freedom, geopolitical status, educational development
