György Zalatnaky

György Zalatnaky (Croatian: Juraj Slatinski; died 29 December 1605) was a Hungarian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of Pécs from 1601 until his death in 1605.

Previously, Zalatnaky served as a canon in Zagreb and Esztergom, as well as vicar general of Eger.

[1] György's father Matija was a landowner, a lawyer and a judge in Zagreb, notable for representing the interests of the nobles from Turopolje.

[4] However, already on 10 June 1598, before he was installed in Vác,[4] Zalatnaky was nominated as the bishop of Pécs and received papal approval on 20 December 1600.

The uprising, originating in Košice in present-day Slovakia, Stephen Bocskai's hometown, saw the forcible takeover of the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth from Lutherans by Catholics, supported by King Rudolf II.
