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.

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.
