Gáspár Károlyi

Gáspár Károlyi, or in Protestant usage, Károli (c. 1529 in Nagykároly – 31 December 1591[1] in Gönc) was a Hungarian Calvinist pastor.

He was a major figure in the Reformed Church in Hungary.

[3] He was born in Nagykároly (present-day day Carei) c. 1530 as Gáspár Radicsics.

Károlyi was likely of Serbian descent and his parents might have moved north from the Délvidék fleeing the dangers of the Ottoman conquest of Serbia.
