Papal Representatives in Hungary in the Eleventh– Fourteenth Centuries. A Prosopographical Database

Summary/Abstract: Traditionally, research on Papal-Hungarian relations has been dominated by a diplomatic approach. Until the early 2000s, Hungarian historiography was traditionally characterised by a relatively schematic concept of papal representation, i.e. papal representatives were mostly understood as legates or nuncios. The last two decades have seen major changes in this area: the prosopographical research of papal representatives has begun, which has shed light on the various forms of representation (legates, nuncios, papal delegated judges, conservators, executors, administrators, papal collectors), and the thematic analysis of the relationships has become dominant. This paper presents the results of the DeLegatOnline research projects that bring together these studies.
