Breadfield
The Breadfield is a region in southwest Transylvania, Romania between Orăştie ' and Sebeş ' in the Transylvanian Saxon land, near the Mureş River. The central settlement is Cugir.
The Cugir Creek's old Magyar name is Kenyér, which gave rise to the name Breadfield. The region's borders to the south are the Cugir Mountains, to the north the Mureș, to the west Hunedoara County, and to the east the Sebeș River.
The area is a fertile plain. Formerly, Breadfield's population was largely Saxons, but today it is chiefly Romanians. In 1479 the Hungarians scored a victory over the Ottoman Army in the Battle of Breadfield. In remembrance of the victory Stephen V Báthory built a chapel.
