Summary/Abstract: The present database and the related analysis (Churchmen on the lower table of the Hungarian diet 1608–1688. Történelmi Szemle 66 (2022) 203–249.) brings to light an important, ecclesiastical group of the early modern Hungarian political elite. The database consists of two parts. The first contains, diet by diet, the churchmen who were invited to and appeared on the lower chamber of the Hungarian diet between autumn 1608 and 1687/1688. The second part lists, by name, in alphabetical order, the churchmen who were invited to the said diets, or appeared there. This second list also includes the prelates who sat on the upper chamber. The summary presentation of the individual careers (studies, offices) is followed by the data related to the activity at the diets (warrant of invitation/ appearance, activity as a compiler, member of the Royal Table or a parliamentary committee, role played at coronation etc). The database can be a starting point for the (collective) biographical analysis of the middle and upper layer of the seventeenth-century Hungarian ecclesiastical society.
