Ținutul Mureș (draft version: Ținutul Alba Iulia) was one of the ten ținuturi ("lands") of Romania, founded in 1938 after King Carol II initiated an institutional reform by modifying the 1923 Constitution and the law of territorial administration.[1] It comprised most of Transylvania, including parts of the Székely Land. Its capital was the city of Alba-Iulia. Ținutul Mureș ceased to exist following the territorial losses of Romania to Hungary and the king's abdication in 1940.[2]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms is party per cross in 9 equal squares, representing the former 9 counties (ținuturi) of Greater Romania (71 in total) which it had included. Four of the squares, forming the arms of a Greek cross, are of or. The four squares forming the corners of the shield are of azure. The square in the heart of the shield is gules, and bares an or Romanian Crown (in recollection of the 1922 Alba-Iulia coronation of Ferdinand I and Marie of Edinburgh as King and Queen of Greater Romania).[3]
