• Duke Stephan of Hungary sends Abbot Astricus (Anastasius) from Adalbert's entourage from Prague to Pope Silvester II with a request to be granted the royal dignity.

Anastasius finally brings the coronation insignia back to Hungary and is later appointed Bishop of Gran (Esztergom), head of the Hungarian national church . The coronation of Stephen as king by a papal envoy on August 17th in Gran is connected with the installation of this regional church and probably also with the donation of the Kingdom of Hungary to the Pope, who then gives it back to Stephen as a fief . This step, analogous to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, is intended to secure the rule of Stephen and the continuity of the line of succession in his family.
