Lucas owned the land of Százd in Hont County (today Sazdice, Slovakia), which he pledged to certain nobles, comes Stephen and Herbord, sons of Ibor, but he failed to elicit the estate by 1299.
[1] The people of Olaszi (today Olosig, part of Oradea), Újfalu and Szentlőrinc in Bihar County, considered themselves as the personal serfs of Bishop Bartholomew, refused to pay customs to the cathedral chapter in 1285, which referred to an old tradition while demanded it.
[4] When Bicskei, in contrast, convened a synod to Veszprém with his self-declared authority of papal legate, and obliged the bishops to participate at the event, the prelates, including Emeric refused to attend.
A period of Interregnum and civil war between various claimants to the throne – Charles of Anjou], Wenceslaus of Bohemia, and Otto of Bavaria – followed Andrew's death and lasted for seven years.
[7] On behalf of the papal legate Gentile Portino da Montefiore, Emeric negotiated with the Transylvanian provincial lord Ladislaus Kán in February 1309, but the powerful baron refused to hand over the Holy Crown of Hungary.
Their relationship was initially cooperative; for instance, the oligarch provided armed protection to the bishop's merchants, who arrived with chariots from Kassa (present-day Košice, Slovakia) in 1310, when they were attacked and robbed by some members of the local branch of the gens (clan) Gutkeled.
[10] After the defeat of James Borsa in the Battle of Debrecen, Emeric and several members of his cathedral chapter attended the provincial diet at Szalacs (today Sălacea, Romania) in August 1317, held by royal special judge Dózsa Debreceni for the nobles of Bihar, Szabolcs, Szatmár, Szolnok and Kraszna counties.
[11] Emeric is first mentioned as Bishop of Várad in July 1297, when he confirmed his predecessor Bartholomew's verdict regarding the chapter's right of collection of duties over the aforementioned three villages upon the request of the ecclesiastical body.
A certain Augustinian friar Egidius (Giles) found the relic and donated it to the Pauline monastery of an island of the river Hernád (Hornád) near Középnémeti (present-day a borough in Tornyosnémeti).
[12] In 1309, Pope Clement V ordered Emeric to protest the interests of Ulrich, rector of the church of Nádas (today Nadeș, Romania) against the Diocese of Transylvania, who arbitrarily raised the annual tax.
[12] Together with five other prelates – including John of Nyitra, Nicholas Kőszegi of Győr and Augustin Kažotić of Zagreb – Emeric protested against the oligarch Matthew Csák's plundering raids at the expense of the Archdiocese of Esztergom in 1313.
