Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox Bishop George (Шаблон:Lang-hu) was a Hungarian prelate in the 11th century, who served as Bishop of Veszprém around 1061.

Bishop of Veszprém

George contributed to the foundation of Zselicszentjakab Abbey in 1061, when he already served as bishop.Шаблон:Sfn George formulated and drafted the establishing charter of the Benedictine monastery.Шаблон:Sfn Therefore, the prelate was granted a portion in the village Dorog in Somogy County with a vineyard and servants (present-day a borough of Patosfa) by ispán Otto Győr, the founder of Zselicszentjakab Abbey.Шаблон:Sfn

According to historian Bernát Kumorovitz, George edited the establishing charter based on a diploma of foreign origin, where he included the intent of the founder regarding the portion in Dorog alongside the donations to the newly established monastery.Шаблон:Sfn Kumorovitz considered George studied at a university in Western Europe or originated from there, since the wording of the diploma is very similar to the style of the private charters from the Carolingian period.Шаблон:Sfn

The establishing charter itself do not refer to Bishop George's episcopal see. Kumorovitz argued as he acted as testimony and drafter (testis et scriptor) during the foundation of Zselicszentjakab Abbey, he must have been the incumbent Bishop of Veszprém, as the monastery laid in the territory of that diocese, whose construction and consecration required the permission of the local bishop.Шаблон:Sfn Additionally, The monastery was built on the hill in honor of the Apostle St. James on a hill along the Kapos River, on the basics of a former ecclesiastical institution under episcopal jurisdiction.Шаблон:Sfn George's role in the establishment proves that Somogy County belonged to the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Veszprém in the 11th century, instead of the suzerainty of the Pannonhalma Abbey.Шаблон:Sfn

Accordingly, George was installed Bishop of Veszprém sometime after 1055, when his predecessor Nicholas (or Clement) is mentioned in the establishing charter of the abbey of Tihany.Шаблон:Sfn The next known bishop is John, according to a non-authentic charter with the date 1082.Шаблон:Sfn Archaeologist Endre Tóth considered – based on geographical names in the territory of the diocese – there was a bishop called Andrew, who served in this capacity sometime between 1062 and 1079 (or 1081).Шаблон:Sfn
