Csanád

[4] The anonymous author of the 13th-century Gesta Ungarorum states that Csanád was the nephew of King Stephen I of Hungary (1000/1001-1038)[2] (nepos regis) and his father's name was Doboka.

[4] According to the Long Life of St Gerard, an early 14th-century compilation of different sources,[3] Csanád was a pagan in the service of Ahtum.

[1] At urbs Morisena, which was given the name of Csanád, a Roman Catholic bishopric was immediately founded, and Gerard, who had hitherto lived as a hermit in the forest of the Bakony, was invited to be its first bishop.

[2] By that time Csanád had been baptized and become the head of the royal county (comitatus) organized around the fortress at Cenad.

[4] With Csanád's help, Bishop Gerard began his mission in the region and established a monastery dedicated to St George in a place later called Oroszlános (Banatsko Aranđelovo, Serbia), most probably after the carved lions decorating its gates[1] (oroszlán is the Hungarian world for ‘lion’).
