Czech term or phrase: Kumán, Bočkaj
Věta bez dalšího kontextu:

Dějiny tohoto kraje byly provázeny tatarskými, tureckými, kumánskými, bočkajovskými a jinými loupeživými nájezdy.

Jediný kontext je, že se jedná o oblast Moravského Slovácka, okolí Žarošic, Archlebova...

Bočkajovci byli stoupenci sedmihradského knížete Štěpána Bočkaje, který vedl na Slovensku povstání proti Habsburkům 1604.
Kumáni ve 13. stol. útočili na Uhry (kam spadalo i Slovensko a část Moravy).
Text je tedy souhrnem historie všech nájezdnických kmenů v daném kraji.

  -> Trvej, trvej :-) v textech jsem viděla obě varianty.
agree  vic voskuil: that does look better :) , apparently English does favour spelling Bocskai with a Y, but either ending can be used

  -> Thanks, and no worry about the history classes. I am graduated historian (what's more: with diploma and specialization on Medieval Eastern Europe!) but it was my 2nd subject and most of the acquired knowledged is lost somewhere in the back of my brains:-)
agree  seraalice: I would choose this one if it were up to me
