Summary/Abstract: Starting with the third decade of the 13th century, the presence of the new Catholic orders, initially represented by the Franciscans and the Dominicans, began to be felt in Central and Eastern Europe. Working from the very outset in the service of the Apostolic See, the Friars Preachers and the Friars Minor became the main agents of Catholic proselytism in these parts, and were later responsible with maintaining and strengthening the authority of the Roman Church in its dioceses.
