Palóc

Palóc

The Palóc are an ethnic minority group in north-east Hungary.

Although their origins are unclear, the Palóc seem to be the descendants of the Khazar, Kabar, Pechenegs and Cuman tribes. The Cumans, who were called "Polovtsy" in Slav sources, which later became "Palóc". Although similar to the Magyars in origins and culture, they were considered distinct groups by the Turks.

The first written record of the word "palóc" as the name of a people appears in the Mezőkövesd register in 1784. The writings of Kálmán Mikszáth gave new prominence to the people in 1882 with his work "The Good People of Palóc".

The Palóc village of Hollókő was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
