Seraphin, Archbishop of Esztergom

Historian Márta Font argues Coloman could only be crowned after Pope Urban II had released him from his clerical vows at the request of Seraphin.

In May 1099, Seraphin escorted his king to Uherské Hradiště at the Bohemian border to meet Duke Bretislaus II, where "they renewed their age-old bonds of friendship and peace and confirmed them with oaths", according to the contemporaneous chronicler Cosmas of Prague.

[6] The eighty-four theses of the council extended the judicial and governmental powers of the bishops, in addition to the regular two-yearly convocation of synods in every bishoprics.

[4] Based on the misinterpretation of 18th-century scholar and prelate Ignác Batthyány, formerly several historians, including Gyula Pauler and Levente Závodszky, considered the first synod of Esztergom occurred still during the archiepiscopal tenure of Seraphin.

However, Johannes de Thurocz's Chronica Hungarorum definitely says, both ecclesiastical councils at Esztergom was convened by Seraphin's successor, Lawrence and his suffragans.

After the death of the archbishop, Fulco served five bishops of Veszprém – Matthew, Nana, Martyrius, Peter and Paul – as a cleric, despite his secular status.
