Transylvanian Aspects of Cardinal Iacob De Preneste’s Legation (1232-1234)

Summary/Abstract: A critical historical approach to the activity of cardinal Jacob of Preneste within the boundaries of the Hungarian kingdom is present in both Romanian and Hungarian historiography. The studies approach a broader subject such as Church History or the History of the Hungarian kingdom, as well as specialized fields. However, when it comes to the cardinal of Preneste, most researchers have discussed his legation on a general level. This article presents this subject from a detailed and hierocratic perspective, focusing on the papal legate’s activity in Transylvania (1232-1234). The main issues are: Why did the cardinal come into the Arpadian kingdom? Did he have any authority to intervene in the internal political processes? What were the cardinal’s purposes and how much did he achieve during his stay in the area?
