Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on Simon Péchi, the fallen chancellor of Prince Gábor Bethlen. Although Péchi is a well-known figure in the history of Transylvania thanks to different historical and literary works, the study is justified by the newly discovered data on his person. This information tells us not only about the acquisition of his estates, but also about the methods by which he acquired them. In addition, the inclusion of new data has helped to clarify the misconceptions surrounding Péchi’s person.
