Nitra
Nitra (; also known by other alternative names) is a city in western Slovakia, situated at the foot of Zobor Mountain in the valley of the river Nitra. It is located 95 km east of Bratislava. With a population of about 78,353, it is the fifth largest city in Slovakia. Nitra is also one of the oldest cities in Slovakia; it was the political center of the Principality of Nitra. Today, it is a seat of a ''kraj'' (Nitra Region), and an '' okres'' (Nitra District). Etymology The first mention of Nitra dates back to the 9th century. The name of the city is derived from the Nitra river. The name is Indo-European, but the question of its pre-Slavic or Slavic origin has not been satisfactorily answered. Nitra might be derived from the old Indo-European root ''neit-'', ''nit-'' meaning "to cut" or "to burn" using a derivation element ''-r-'' (see also slash-and-burn agricultural technique). The same root is still present in the Slovak verb ''nietiť'' (to make a fire), but also in othe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diocese Of Žilina
In church governance, a diocese or bishopric is the ecclesiastical district under the jurisdiction of a bishop. History In the later organization of the Roman Empire, the increasingly subdivided provinces were administratively associated in a larger unit, the diocese (Latin ''dioecesis'', from the Greek term διοίκησις, meaning "administration"). Christianity was given legal status in 313 with the Edict of Milan. Churches began to organize themselves into dioceses based on the civil dioceses, not on the larger regional imperial districts. These dioceses were often smaller than the provinces. Christianity was declared the Empire's official religion by Theodosius I in 380. Constantine I in 318 gave litigants the right to have court cases transferred from the civil courts to the bishops. This situation must have hardly survived Julian, 361–363. Episcopal courts are not heard of again in the East until 398 and in the West in 408. The quality of these courts was l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nicholas Apáti
Nicholas Apáti (also Keszei; hu, Apáti Miklós; died November/December 1366) was a Hungarian prelate in the 14th century, who served as Archbishop of Esztergom from 1358 until his death. Ancestry and early life His origin is uncertain; it is possible he was born into a serf family, which originated from Bars County. His father was a certain Clement. He had a brother Lawrence and a sister, Elizabeth. Early ecclesiastical scholars – church historians Ferenc Kollányi, Árpád Bossányi and genealogist Mór Wertner – identified him as a member of the Frankói family and called him with the surname "de Franko" or "Frankói". Nicholas' first biographer Antal Pór, however, proved that he had no kinship relationship with the noble family. Instead, he suggested the "Keszei" surname, because Judge royal Thomas Szécsényi donated the land of Kesző or Keszi (''Garamkeszi; ''present-day Hronské Kosihy, Slovakia) to him in August 1351, which act was confirmed by Louis I of Hungary i ...

Miklós, la, Nicolaus de Viasaria; died 1358) was a Hungarian prelate in the 14th century, who served as Archbishop of Esztergom from 1350 until his death. Early life Nicholas was born in the 1300s as the son of Nicholas I Vásári, the Vice-voivode of Transylvania from 1319 to 1320, and an unidentified lady from the Telegdi family, which originated from the ''gens'' (clan) Csanád. Nicholas had three brothers and two sisters.Engel: ''Genealógia'' (Vásári 1. Rupolújvári) Vásári's origin is confirmed by a letter of Pope John XXII on 2 July 1320, when called him "''Nicolao nato dilecti filii nobilis viri Nicolai Comitis Viceducis Transsilvani''". Former historiographical works incorrectly referred him Monoszlói or Frankói. Nicholas' grandfather was Roland Szügyi, who possessed Szügy, Nógrád County in 1255, but sometimes later moved to Bihar County, where became the owner of Vásári (present-day a depopulated a ...

John III, Bishop Of Nyitra
John ( hu, János; died between 9 and 18 March 1328) was a Hungarian prelate in the first half of the 14th century, who served as Bishop of Nyitra (present-day Nitra, Slovakia) at least from 1302 until his death. He belonged to the earliest partisans of Charles I of Hungary and his dynasty. During his reign, which roughly coincided with the era of feudal anarchy, the diocese of Nyitra was constantly harassed and plundered by the troops of the powerful and greedy oligarch Matthew Csák. Early life John was born in the second half of the 1260s into a large and wealthy noble family. His unidentified parents, brothers and sisters were still alive in 1301, according to King Charles' royal charter issued in the next year.

In this case, he had two brothers, Peter I and Szoboszló II (or Soběslav).Engel: ''Genealógia'' (Genus Ludány 1., Szobonya branch) Other document says (see below), Paschasius had at least five brothers.

Adam, Bishop Of Nyitra
Adam ( hu, Ádám; died after 1249) was a Hungarian Catholic prelate in the 13th century, who served as Bishop of Nyitra (today Nitra, Slovakia) at least from 1244 to 1249.

Prior to that, Ders was forced to hand over his estate Parna in Pozsony County, and was granted Dubnica as a compensation. Adam instructed his cathedral chapter (a place of authentication) to determine and record the boundaries of Ders' new estate. Adam's role in the process reflects the transitional situation between the disintegration of the ''pristaldus'' (bailiff) institution and the still undeveloped practice of ...
