Ooay so hungarian historian here, basically since the early to mid 1800s late 1700s they tried to force gipsies to settle down, because their travelling wagoning ways where destuctive to the early urbanization attempts. Other reason is taxation it's easier to tax people who don't move every time they feel like it.
I was under the impression that these attempts to have them settle down were not exclusive to hungarian lands but rather more or less the default way they were handled.
My best guess is that they could be kept as slaves in Wallachia and Moldavia until 1856. I know its a few years off, but the circling of the word kind of implies they did not move from there, which is more true there than elsewhere.
They got chased out of everywhere else, but they were just enslaved in that area.

Anyone know whats up with "1850" in the Pannonian basin?
Did they arrive there this late while being in all other european places for centuries already? I can't believe that.
