Paul, Bishop Of Csanád
Paul (; died after 1142) was a Hungarian prelate in the 12th century, who served as Bishop of Csanád around 1142. Biography He became bishop sometime after 1138, when his last known predecessor Bestertius is mentioned. His name appears among the signatories of that document, in which the young Géza II of Hungary confirmed the privileges of the citizens of Split in Dalmatia in May 1142. This is the only information about Paul's episcopacy. The next known bishop is Stephen, who is first mentioned in this capacity in 1156. Some 19th-century historians – István Horváth and Gusztáv Wenzel – who placed the time of creation of the ''Gesta Hungarorum'' to the mid-12th century, considered that Paul was identical with the gesta's anonymous author (also known as Master P.). According to this theory, Paul formerly served as a notary in the court of Béla II. Emil Jakubovich and Kálmán Juhász claimed that Anonymus (Paul?) wrote the ''Gesta Hungarorum'' sometime between 1141 and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bishop Of Csanád
A bishop is an ordained member of the clergy who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance and administration of dioceses. The role or office of the bishop is called episcopacy or the episcopate. Organisationally, several Christian denominations utilise ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority within their dioceses. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Béla II Of Hungary
Béla the Blind (; ; ; – 13 February 1141) was King of Hungary and Croatia from 1131 to 1141. He was blinded along with his rebellious father Álmos on the order of Álmos's brother, King Coloman of Hungary. Béla grew up in monasteries during the reign of Coloman's son Stephen II. The childless king arranged Béla's marriage with Helena of Rascia, who would become her husband's co-ruler throughout his reign. Béla was crowned king at least two months after the death of Stephen II, implying that his accession to the throne did not happen without opposition. Two violent purges were carried out among the partisans of his predecessors to strengthen Béla's rule. King Coloman's alleged son Boris tried to dethrone Béla but the king and his allies defeated the pretender's troops in 1132. In the second half of Béla's reign, Hungary adopted an active foreign policy. Bosnia and Split seem to have accepted Béla's suzerainty around 1136. Early years until 1131 Béla was t ...
