When the Polish-born Boleslaus was involved in a conflict of jurisdiction with the Diocese of Kraków, Dörögdi acted as one of the witnesses in the trial, which took place in the second half of the 1320s.

He also represented the interests of the archbishop against other bishops in the provincial synod in Esztergom in November 1326, when they accused Boleslaus that he possessed some churches and their benefices illegally in their dioceses.

[4] Becoming the counsellor of Charles I of Hungary, he served as head (count) of the royal chapel (Latin: comes capellae regiae) in November 1327, and possibly held the dignity until his election as archbishop.

[4] Retaining his provostry of Pressburg, Dörögdi intended to travel to Avignon in order to reach the papal confirmation of his election by Pope John XXII.

[8] However Dörögdi and his escort did not reach Avignon, because they were robbed and imprisoned by local robber knights, counts Hugo and Randolph von Montfort near Konstanz, in the territory of the Diocese of Chur.

On 8 February 1330, the pope appointed bishops Ladislaus Kórógyi of Pécs and Henry of Veszprém to administer the archiepiscopal province and considered it necessary to hold a new election.

[8] As Dörögdi had a good relationship with Charles, Lajos Dedek Crescens considered his election was opposed by the king's spouse Queen Elizabeth, who supported the burghers of Esztergom in their verdict against the provostry of Pressburg.

Sometimes before 1 September 1330, Dörögdi resigned as archbishop-elect "for some reasons" before Raymond de Mostuéjouls and Imbert du Puy, two members of the College of Cardinals.

[8] Shortly thereafter Csanád Telegdi, the incumbent Bishop of Eger was translated to the archdiocese by Charles I and this act was confirmed by the pope on 17 September.

For instance, when Charles I held an international summit in 1335 at Visegrád, he commissioned the prelate to travel to Prague and accompany John of Bohemia to Hungary.

[15] After becoming the Bishop of Eger, Dörögdi inherited the conflict with the Provostship of Szepes (Spiš) regarding the suzerainty over the Archdeaconry of Tárca, which laid in Sáros County.

[13] When papal tax collectors visited the dioceses of Hungary between 1332 and 1337, they listed 821 parishes, 12 provostships and abbeys which belonged to the Bishopric of Eger.

[19] Inheriting the decade-long conflict, Dörögdi had various disputes with Andrew Szécsi, Bishop of Transylvania regarding the issue of jurisdiction over the sparsely populated Máramaros region (today Maramureș in Romania).

[17] In 1337, Pope Benedict XII instructed Dörögdi investigate the alleged violations committed to the detriment of the Benedictines in Hungary, such as the occupation of the abbeys of Bulcs (Bulci), Bizere, Garáb and Mogyoród, by a secular person named Stephen – who arbitrarily poses as a Benedictine monk but is not ordained a priest –, in addition to the abuses committed by Paul, the Bishop of Belgrade against the Kolozsmonostor Abbey and the Priory of Béla (Bijela) in the Diocese of Zagreb.

[20] Mieszko of Veszprém removed the St. Andrew parish church of Felsődörögd from the jurisdiction of the archdeanery of Zala and placed it directly under the supervision of the bishopric upon the request of Dörögdi on 29 April 1339.
