History
The first documentary record of Peregu Mare dates back to 1241.
Magister Rogerius (Italian monk from Benevento, Apulia) wrote: „XXXII: De destructione Nove-uille et monasterii de Egres. Uersus Orodinum et Chandinum procedere inceperunt, in medio eorum, Noua-uilli dimissa, nomen cuius Pereg fuerat, in qua homines septuaginta uillarum fuerant congregati, et dimisso monasterio Egres Cisterciensis ordinis, in quod tanquam munitum castrum se milites et multe domine receperant. Nec Tartari loca illa aggredi uoluerunt, quousque circumcirca esset terra totaliter desolata. (...) Tartari uero retro post omnes stantes, ridebat de casu et ruina illorum, et retrocedentes a pugna suorum, dabant quamplurimos uoragini gladiorum, ita quod ipsis diebus et noctibus, pugnantibus per unam septimanam, et fossatis impletis ceperunt uillam.” —Magister Rogerius, Carmen miserabile.
