Ladislaus Kórógyi
Roman Catholic bishop
Ladislaus Kórógyi (Hungarian: Kórógyi László) was bishop of Pécs in the Kingdom of Hungary from 1314 to his death in 1345. He assisted King Charles I of Hungary by force against his opponents, but later he lost royal favor because he energically protected the interests of the Church and his diocese in the Kingdom of Hungary. He actively developed his bishopric's properties, for instance, by inviting colonists to Mohács and Pécs.
Life
Early career
Ladislaus Kórógyi was the fourth son of his namesake father, a wealthy nobleman by his second wife. His family's properties were located in the counties of Baranya, Pozsega, Tolna and Valkó. He was first mentioned as a cleric in 1296, and as a canon at the cathedral chapter of Pécs in 1300. Bishop Peter I of Pécs appointed Ladislaus provost of the cathedral chapter at his see. However, both the bishop and his provost were prevented from entering their seat by Nicholas, cantor of the chapter who disputed the validity of Bishop Peter's appointment to bishopric. Ladislaus Kórógyi could only enter his office in June 1310, when the first document under his name was issued by the cathedral chapter.
Bishop of Pécs
The canons of the cathedral chapter elected Ladislaus bishop of Pécs after the death of Bishop Peter who died in the first half of 1314.

Why this record matters
The phrase “roman Catholic bishop” 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.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6469647. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1314, 1345, 1296 and 1300.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
