Otto Győr
Otto (Atha) from the kindred Győr ( hu, Győr nembeli Ottó or ''Atha''; died after 1066) was a Hungarian noble in the second half of the 11h century, who served as palatine ( la, palatinus) in 1066, during the reign of Solomon, King of Hungary. He was the ancestor of the ''gens'' Győr, which flourished until the 17th century. Family Medieval chronicles unanimously considered the Győr (also Geur or Jeur) kindred originated from Germany, who came to the Kingdom of Hungary in the first half of the 11th century. The fourteenth-century chronicle composition (''Illuminated Chronicle'') does not refer to the clan, when describes the circumstances of the foundation of the Zselicszentjakab Abbey by family member Otto in 1061. Majority of the historians – for instance, György Györffy, Gyula Kristó and Erik Fügedi accepted the theory of German origin.

Twelve Apostles
In Christian theology and ecclesiology, the apostles, particularly the Twelve Apostles (also known as the Twelve Disciples or simply the Twelve), were the primary disciples of Jesus according to the New Testament. During the life and ministry of Jesus in the 1st century AD, the apostles were his closest followers and became the primary teachers of the gospel message of Jesus. There is also an Eastern Christian tradition derived from the Gospel of Luke of there having been as many as seventy apostles during the time of Jesus' ministry. The commissioning of the Twelve Apostles during the ministry of Jesus is described in the Synoptic Gospels. After his resurrection, Jesus sent eleven of them (as Judas Iscariot by then had died) by the Great Commission to spread his teachings to all nations. This event has been called the dispersion of the Apostles. In the Pauline epistles, Paul, although not one of the original twelve, described himself as an apostle, saying he was called b ...

George, Bishop Of Veszprém
George ( hu, György) was a Hungarian prelate in the 11th century, who served as Bishop of Veszprém around 1061. Bishop of Veszprém George contributed to the foundation of Zselicszentjakab Abbey in 1061, when he already served as bishop. George formulated and drafted the establishing charter of the Benedictine monastery. Therefore, the prelate was granted a portion in the village Dorog in Somogy County with a vineyard and servants (present-day a borough of Patosfa) by ''ispán'' Otto Győr, the founder of Zselicszentjakab Abbey. According to historian Bernát Kumorovitz, George edited the establishing charter based on a diploma of foreign origin, where he included the intent of the founder regarding the portion in Dorog alongside the donations to the newly established monastery. Kumorovitz considered George studied at a university in Western Europe or originated from there, since the wording of the diploma is very similar to the style of the private charters from the Carolingi ...
