Kökényes (also Kuknis, Latin: Quuchinus or Quinquenus; died after 1150) was a Hungarian prelate in the 12th century, who served as Archbishop of Esztergom around 1150.
[1] Historian Gyula Pauler identified his person with that provost Quuchinus, who appears in an undated royal charter, when King Géza II confirmed his father's donations to the Csatár Abbey.
[3] According to its narrative, when Géza II led his army against Vladimirko (Volodimirko) of Galicia in the autumn of 1150, he captured Sanok, but Vladimirko bribed the group of Hungarian noblemen, including Archbishop "Kuknis" (Hungarian: Kuknyis), who persuaded Géza to leave Galicia before November.
[2] "Volodimir[ko] [...] scared and sent [his envoys] to Archbishop Kuknis [Kökényes] and to two other bishops and the king's [Géza II] men.
However the document (a royal donation letter), which proved to be a 15th-century forgery, contains several anachronistic elements and its witness list reflects the 1148–50 political and archontological snapshot.
