Benedict, Son Of Korlát
Benedict, son of Korlát (; died after 1221) was a Hungarian nobleman, who served as voivode of Transylvania twice, from 1202 to 1206 and 1208 to 1209. He was styled as "''dux''" by royal charters – the first one who is not a relative of the royal Árpád dynasty –, which indicated his high social prestige. Due to the lack of sources and the presence of multiple barons named Benedict in the period simultaneously, there are a number of difficulties in drawing and defining his career path. There are assumptions, he is identical with Benedict "the Antichrist" and/or Benedict "the Bald", who governed the Principality of Halych on behalf of the Hungarian monarch Andrew II of Hungary, Andrew II in 1209–1210 and 1214–1221, respectively. This governor, considering the two as one person, is also referred to as Benedikt Bor in Russian and Ukrainian historiography.

He had a namesake son, who functioned as vice-judge royal in 1221. Due to the lack of sources and the presence of multiple barons named Benedict in the period simultaneously, there are a number of difficulties in drawing and defining his career path.

According to historian Attila Zsoldos, he is definitely not identical with Benedict, son of Korlát or that another namesake noble, who held ''ispán''ates after 1205, when Andrew II ascended the Hungarian throne.
