A Familiar Stranger from the Turn of the 13th‒14th Centuries: Haab

Abstract

The present paper deals with the ecclesiastical career of a Hungarian prelate, Haab, who
lived at the turn of the 13th‒14th centuries. The exact stages of his ecclesiastical career
and its chronology are not yet clarifi ed, and there are similar diffi culties with his kinship.
Haab’s case is a good example of how research can use detailed archontological research to
reconstruct the career of a given person and create an accurate prosopographic data sheet.
