11th-century Hungarian nobleman
Csanád,[1][2] also Chanadinus,[3] or Cenad,[2] was the first head (comes) of Csanád County in the Kingdom of Hungary in the first decades of the 11th century.[4]
Csanád defeated and killed Ajtony who had ruled over the region now known as Banat (in Romania and Serbia).[3] Csanád County and its capital (Cenad, in Hungarian Csanád) were named after him.[4]
The anonymous author of the 13th-century Gesta Ungarorum states that Csanád was the nephew of King Stephen I of Hungary (1000/1001-1038)[2] (nepos regis) and his father’s name was Doboka.[4] According to the Long Life of St Gerard, an early 14th-century compilation of different sources,[3] Csanád was a pagan in the service of Ahtum.[2]
Ahtum controlled traffic along the river and taxed transport of salts from Transylvania to the heartland of Pannonia.[3] It was in relation to salt that Ahtum found himself in conflict with Stephen, the newly proclaimed king of Hungary.[3]
At urbs Morisena, which was given the name of Csanád, a Roman Catholic bishopric was immediately founded, and Gerard, who had hitherto lived as a hermit in the forest of the Bakony, was invited to be its first bishop.[2] By that time Csanád had been baptized and become the head of the royal county (comitatus) organized around the fortress at Cenad.[4]
Csanád was the ancestor of the genus Chanad/Sunad (Csanád kindred),[4] the site of whose main holdings in Arad, Csanád, Krassó and Temes counties demonstrated a quite remarkable continuity from the 11th to 14th centuries.[5]
