The first evidence of the medieval Deva Fortress dates back to the second half of the 13th century, in 1269, when Stephen V, King of Hungary and Duke of Transilvania, mentioned "the royal castle of Deva" in a privilege-grant for the Count Chylof Kelling. From 1273 dates the first record about a military operation that involved The Fortress. Under its walls, the cumans are defeated by PetrusChak, who is rewarded for his victory by Ladislaus IV, King of Hungary. In his letter, Ladislaus IV mentioned the facts with the words: sub castroDewa contra Cumanorumexerciturviriliterdimicavit. At the end of the 13th century, The Deva Fortress is in the property of LadislausKán, Voivode of Transylvania, who organised here a court besides the military garrison. History
