Summary/Abstract: This paper treats the career of Ferenc Pesthy in the Royal Chamber, detailing his responsibilities too. Pesthy offered his services to the Habsburg king Ferdinand in early 1552, immediately after the murder of George Martinuzzi. Ferdinand entrusted him the office of the tax collector (dicator) of the county Bihar and from 1553 that of the mustramester. From 1557 on he served as the coadiutor, i.e. assistant, of the royal estate manager of Upper Hungary, Zsigmond Torda, whom he followed in the position. The paper details the range of tasks performed by Ferenc Pesthy in his various offices, which, besides collecting the royal revenues, included recruiting subordinate administrative personnel, informing the monarch about the political and military actions, and contributing to the administration of the counties.
