Martin, Bishop Of Eger
Martin ( hu, Márton; died 1322) was a Hungarian prelate in the early 14th century, who served as Bishop of Eger from 1306 until his death. Pro-royal activity His origin and early ecclesiastical career is unknown. It is possible he is identical with that Martin, who served as archdeacon of Pata prior to that. According to historian Pál Engel, Martin was elected as Bishop of Eger in 1306, succeeding Andrew, who held the dignity for three decades and died in the previous year. Martin had to pay 800 golden florins as ''servitium commune'' to the papal court, this relatively low amount reflects the insignificance of the diocese within the Hungarian church hierarchy. Martin took part in the provincial synod to Udvard, Komárom County (present-day Dvory nad Žitavou, Slovakia), convoked by Archbishop Thomas of Esztergom in May 1307. The attending prelates renewed the excommunication of those barons, clergymen and towns, who did not acknowledge Charles of Anjou as the king of Hungary ...

Cantor (Christianity)

Generally, a cantor must be competent to choose and conduct the vocals for the choir, to start any chant on demand, and to be able to identify and correct the missteps of singers placed under them. A cantor may be held accountable for the immediate rendering of the music, showing the course of the melody by movements of the hand(s) (''cheironomia''), similar to a conductor.
