Summary/Abstract: The study examines a special aspect of the relations between the Papacy and the Hungarian Kingdom in the first half of the 13th century: the fight against the so-called heretics of the Balkans. The question of the heresy is not investigated from a dogmatic, or a legal point of view; the analysis is focusing on the taken papal and Hungarian actions. Pontifical legates were entrusted with tasks concerning the heresy and the piracy in Bosnia and Dalmatia since the very beginning of the century, while the Hungarian rulers and several prelates took part in the struggle as well. The presentation starts with the investigation against Ban Kulin of Bosnia led by the papal chaplain John of Casamari, whereas among other topics the problem of the Dalmatian pirates, the Bosnian campaign of Duke Coloman of Slavonia and the integration of the diocese of Bosnia into the Hungarian church are touched upon too.
