Volkovce

Volkovce (Hungarian: Valkóc) is a village and municipality in Zlaté Moravce District of the Nitra Region, in western-central Slovakia.

The earliest evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Palaeolithic period, around 35,000 years ago.

The document confirms the exchange of land estates between master Štefan, the Tekov region Zhupan (Zhupan = a title of various positions among South Slavic peoples, at the head of several types of units called ŽUPA) and the castle's lords Dom, the son of George and his brothers.

Volkovce did not get into this document as a newly erected village, but in connection with an economic dispute of its residing owners.

According to the document these tenants wanted to withdraw from the influence of the abbot and claim ownership of the land they had rented from him.
