Alekšince (Hungarian: Elecske) is a village and a municipality in the Nitra District in western Slovakia, in the Nitra Region. According to archeological evidence, the area was inhabited since the paleolithic. The investigations on Maďaroš hill also revealed a settlement from the Bronze Age. Several items from the Iron Age and the Roman imperial period were discovered as well. In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1156 when Martirius, the archbishop of Esztergom, donated church lands in 70 villages to the Esztergom canonry in order to improve the economic welfare of the canons. One the villages of the archdeaconry was "villa Alexu"- known today as Alekšince. A deed of donation from 1275 by the king Ladislaus IV of Hungary lists the first owner: knight Deuse, who died during a Tatar invasion in 1241–1242. In this deed, the village appears under the name of Elekchy. More information...
