Provosts of the Medieval Episcopal See of Arad In this paper, I would like to add some new information and supplements to the ecclesiastical history of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. Although it is of great importance to discover all members of the ecclesiastical society, and many remarkable research works have been conducted on the topic, a fully comprehensive investigation, research on the whole subject-matter has not been published yet, including the middle-layer of ecclesiastical society (e.g. canons) as well as the lower clergy. In case of this subject, basic research on members of the church elite is not enough, the analysis of every other group is crucial as well. In this frame, episcopal sees have a key position – beyond the research of their history and background, their sociographical analysis, based on the database of canons, is essential. I expect from my results to add some relevant information to the medieval Hungarian society. At the same time, my paper presents a piece of research that employs the prosopographical methodology established by József Köblös and perfected by Tamás Fedeles.
