Pok (genus)
Pok, Pók or Puk is the name of a Hungarian kindred (Clan Pok) in the Kingdom of Hungary. The first known ancestor of the family was mentioned in 1220 called ''Mór''. Mór participated in the Battle of Mohi. 88 domains are known as Clan Pok possessions in the Kingdom of Hungary. The Puky, Mórocz and Meggyesi families belong to this genus. The clan might be of Pecheneg origin, as the name of the genus has been etymologized to "dung" or "rubbish" according to Vámbéry. Similarly, a sub-clan of Turkmens is called "Pokli". Otherwise it may be related to Persian pāk "pure" through Turkic mediation.

Bishop Of Győr
A bishop is an ordained member of the clergy who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance and administration of dioceses. The role or office of the bishop is called episcopacy or the episcopate. Organisationally, several Christian denominations utilise ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority within their dioceses. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
