[2] The members of his wide kinship – including Pat Győr, Pousa Bár-Kalán and his father Vejte Csanád – were considered loyal partisans of King Emeric, whose whole reign was characterized by power struggles with his younger brother Duke Andrew.
Theodore and his companions, were left out of the land donations, which gave rise to serious contradictions with those emerging barons, who were the chief beneficiaries of the king's policy.
[7] Beside Theodore, for instance, his brother's father-in-law Pousa Bár-Kalán became Judge royal and Tiburtius Rosd, another former partisan of Emeric, functioned as ispán of Pozsony County.
[9] Karácsonyi argued Theodore and his partisans were temporarily deprived from power at the end of July 1222, and the king appointed Nicholas Szák as Palatine of Hungary again.
This caused another rebellion by early November 1222, as a result, Andrew replaced the members of the royal council with consensual barons, for instance Julius Kán.
[10] In contrast, historian Attila Zsoldos considered Theodore and his accompaniment were identical with those "some wicked men", who had forced Andrew II to share his realms with his heir and political opponent Duke Béla, according to a letter of July 1222 of Pope Honorius III.
According to Zsoldos' interpretation, Andrew II issued the Golden Bull, which recorded the main aspects of his reform policy called "new institutions" in order to offset their political expansion.
