Boleslaus (bishop Of Vác)
Boleslaus (, ; died 1212 or 1213) was a prelate in the Kingdom of Hungary at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. He was Bishop of Vác between 1193 and 1212. He supported Duke Andrew during the Duke's conflict with his brother, King Emeric of Hungary. Early life Boleslaus was born in the 1130s into a prominent noble family, but his parentage and origin is unknown. He had a brother (or at least, relative; ''frater'') Elvin, also a prelate, who served as Bishop of Várad (present-day Oradea, Romania) from 1189 to 1200. Based on the geographical location of their landholdings, historian Vince Bunyitay considered that both of them belonged to the ''gens'' (clan) Becsegergely. Other historians – including Samu Borovszky and Ferenc Chobot – accepted his interpretation. Boleslaus' godfather was the reigning monarch, Béla II of Hungary (r. 1131–1141) at his birth, according to later documents. Boleslaus was granted the royal estate of Lelesz (present-day Leles, Slovakia) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

However, his two uncles, Ladislaus and Stephen, who had joined the court of the Byzantine Empire, challenged his right to the crown.

Szolnok
Szolnok (; also known by #Name and etymology, alternative names) is the county seat of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county in central Hungary. A city with county rights, it is located on the banks of the Tisza river, in the heart of the Great Hungarian Plain, which has made it an important cultural and economic crossroads for centuries.
