Seats (Latin: sedes, Hungarian: szék, German: stuhl, Romanian: scaun) were administrative divisions in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary.
The seats were autonomous regions within the Kingdom, and were independent from the feudal county system. Their autonomy was granted in return for the military services they provided to the Hungarian Kings.
The following divisions were at one point Székely seats:
Marosszék
Udvarhelyszék
Csíkszék
Gyergyószék
Bardóc-Miklósvárszék
Sepsiszék
Orbaiszék
Kézdiszék
Aranyosszék
Seats were formed by the:
Székelys
Transylvanian Saxons
Cumans

Most seats gave up their autonomous status and military traditions in late medieval times and paid tax instead.
