Abstract

It was in the early 1970 s that historiography “discovered” the Order of St Stephen, the “Stephanites”, the canonical order of the Hospitaller Crusaders of St Stephen, founded by King Géza II of Hungary in the 1150s in honour of King St Stephen of Hungary (977-1038), crowned:, modelled on the European knightly orders already in existence at the time. The first archaeological evidence of the existence of the order was found in 1959 during an archaeological excavation in the Danube Canyon near Esztergom. The study examines the circumstances of the founding of the Order of the Stephanites, the administrative activities of the knights in “locus credibilis authenticus”, and their role in Árpád-era Hungary.
