[1] Due to the lack of sources and the presence of multiple barons named Benedict in the period simultaneously, there are a number of difficulties in drawing and defining his career path.
Based on chronology and political situation, Benedict was a faithful partisan of King Emeric, who had to face series of rebellions from his younger brother, Duke Andrew, throughout his whole reign.
According to historian Attila Zsoldos, he is definitely not identical with Benedict, son of Korlát or that another namesake noble, who held ispánates after 1205, when Andrew II ascended the Hungarian throne.
[11] Following the death of Emeric in 1204, Benedict plausibly belonged to the partisans of the child king Ladislaus III and his mother Queen Constance of Aragon, opposing Andrew's regency.
[12] According to Slovak historian Angelika Herucová, Andrew II had problems getting rid of previously powerful noblemen, so it cannot be ruled out that Benedict continued his career as ispán of several counties – Bodrog (1205), Sopron (1206–1208), Újvár (1209), then Ung (1214) counties – nor he is identical with that infamous Benedict "the Antichrist", who governed Halych with brutal means on behalf of the Hungarian king from 1210 to 1211.
