Dominic Miskolc
Hungarian lord, who served as Judge royal between 1188 and 1193
Dominic from the kindred Miskolc (Hungarian: Miskolc nembeli Domokos; died before 1207) was a Hungarian lord, who served as Judge royal between 1188 and 1193.
Biography
Dominic belonged to the Miskolc kindred. He was the first known member of his clan's Borsmonostor branch. According to a royal charter, he was also a relative of Béla III of Hungary and the Árpád dynasty, as well as Peter II, Bishop of Győr (according to some interpretations). He had two children from his unidentified wife; Bors and a daughter Elizabeth, who married ispán Sebes Hont-Pázmány and thus they were the ascendants of the Count Szentgyörgyi family. Bors' wife was an unidentified daughter of dux Velek.
During the reign of Béla III, he served as Judge royal from 1188 to 1193, beside that he was also ispán of Bodrog County between 1192 and 1193. As one of the most influential lords by that time, he possessed extensive lands in Borsod County (his clan's ancient centre) and the borderland counties in Western Hungary. In 1187, Dominic had pledged to participate in a crusade to the Holy Land, but for some reasons, he was unable to fulfill his vow, therefore in exchange for redemption, he founded a Cistercian monastery in Klostermarienberg (today part of Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz, Austria) in 1194 and he also donated eight surrounding villages and 300 marks to the newly established monastery, which belonged to the authority of Heiligenkreuz Abbey since 1198. From 1194 to 1195, he functioned as Ban of Slavonia, albeit according to non-authentic charters he already had held the office since 1193.

Why this record matters
The phrase “hungarian lord, who served as Judge royal between 1188 and 1193” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22679876. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1207, 1188, 1193 and 1192.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
